Brief

Throughout the 15-day Summer School, participants will engage in a range of activities designed to enhance their academic and cultural understanding, including opportunities to explore both London and the Cambridgeshire countryside. On-campus life offers access to key facilities such as a canteen, sports centre, and pub. Accommodation will be provided in UNITE student housing, located adjacent to the campus at 4–6 and 16–22 Middlesex Street, E1 7JH—approximately 30 minutes from central London.

This programme offers a distinctive blend of academic immersion and cultural enrichment, balancing the structured on-campus experience with exposure to London as a global metropolitan hub and the surrounding English countryside, renowned for its natural and historical significance. 

Participation in the Summer School may strengthen prospective students’ eligibility and motivation to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate studies at the University of East London in subsequent academic years, irrespective of their chosen discipline.

A key feature of the programme includes an innovative project involving the reconstruction of a ruined castle using robotic 3D printing technologies. 

Participants—both students and professionals—will have the opportunity to produce scaled models of their design proposals. The associated workshop is intended to foster critical engagement with the built environment and landscape through creative and interdisciplinary approaches. Notably, a sustainable concrete mixture incorporating biostone, developed in collaboration with CARBON8 and Access Safety, will be employed to support environmentally conscious construction practices.

14-27

Course Objectives

  • Explore Digital Documentation: Conduct a 3D scan of Wimpole Castle to document its current state using advanced scanning technologies.
  • Robotic Fabrication: Develop methods for robotic 3D printing of concrete elements for potential use in heritage restoration.
  • Material Innovation: Experiment with environmentally friendly concrete mixes and Biostone solutions for sustainable refurbishment.
  • Interdisciplinary Learning: Work with architects, engineers, and digital fabrication experts to blend heritage conservation with cutting-edge technology.
  • Scale Model Prototyping: Utilise robotic arms and 3D printers to create scaled and full-scale prototypes of proposed reconstruction solutions.

Target Audience

  • Prospective architecture students and architecture students from other institutions, professionals, engineers, and digital fabrication specialists
  • No prior experience in robotics required, but familiarity with autocad or Rhino, is beneficial.

Isaac Cobo i Displas

COCOARCHITECTS

Architect

Isaac Cobo Displas is a Spanish architect and academic, born in 1975 in Catalonia. The son of a well-known contractor, Juan Cobo Cobos, he spent much of his childhood on building sites.

After his father’s passing, he began a bachelor’s in Industrial Design Engineering at the Elisava Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona in 1996 in preparation to become a product designer.

In 2000, he was a finalist for the ADI-Fad awards.

He began his architecture studies in 2003 at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. In 2005, he moved to the University of East London on the advice of Peter Salter and finished his Master´s under Mark Hayduk, who was also strongly influenced by Peter Salter.

He has taught at the University of East London since 2009 and has
been a Senior Lecturer in Architectural Design to date. He worked as an architectural technician for a number of years at Murray John Architects in London before becoming the creative director at Manhattan Loft Corporation (MLC), restoring St Pancras.

In 2008, he co-founded CocoArchitects with Daniel Coll, an awarded firm where he
still currently practices.

Peter Salter

SALTER+COLLINBRIDGE

Architect

Peter Salter (born 1947) is a British architectural designer and academic. In 1962 he began a course at the Shoreditch College of Furnishing Trades, in preparation to become a furniture designer. In 1964, he worked as a junior draftsman for a patent glazing manufacturer.

In 1966 he started his studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.

He studied and taught at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, where he received his Diploma in 1980, was Head of the School of Architecture at the University of East London and since 2006 has been Professor of Architectural Design at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University.

Salter worked as an architectural technician for a number of local authorities in London. He is currently practicing as Salter+Collingridge.

Mark Hayduk

Architect

Mark Hayduk (d. 2012) studied at the AA under Peter Salter graduating in 1991.

Mark was a much-loved tutor at the University of East London’s School of Architec¬ture, where he co-ordinated the degree course and led the celebrated Diploma Unit 3.

Peter Salter remarks: “Mark’s student work developed a poetic from a technical reading of site conditions and he was fantastic at communicating that sensibility
to his own students.

Anthony Fretton

TONY FRETTON STUDIO

Juror

A E I OU Articles, Essays, Interviews and Out-takes. The name itself says something of the nature of Tony Fretton’s collected writing.

As an architect he has said ‘Words, the most collective form of communication, thread their way through the projects, in explanations to clients and constructors, and as my means, along with drawings, of explaining the projects to my collaborators, to myself and to the wider world.’

As Professor of Architectural Design-Interiors at TU Delft, he wrote: ‘Interior design accommodates peoples physical and emotional comfort and rituals of use directly in the material of buildings, and offers freedom, directness and social meaning to architecture’.

Between these two professional poles lies a series of articles on other architects, essays on the historical currents in architecture, interviews in which Fretton lays out the developing bases of his practices, and out-takes: ideas and phrase retrieved from early drafts and unpublished writing.

Xavier Font

ALFA POLARIS

Juror

Xavier Font, MEng Civil Engineering and CEng MICE, founder and owner of Alfa Polaris, is a thirty-year experienced engineer, skilled in regional planning, site development and structural and bridge design. For the last twenty-five years, he has been involved in the design and construction process of more than thirty bridges, half of which have been built under his supervision.

His designs are characterised by a search for a balance between functional, social, cultural, technological, and economic conditions in which a project is set. But, overall, his main goal when he designs is to create locus, to make apparent the Genius Loci —the spirit— of the place.
He does share Andreu Ulied’s opinion that there can be nothing more uncultured, less civilised, than a landscape with no places.

Since the foundation of ALFA POLARIS, he has taken an artisan course of action characterized by the love of craft and detail, and the hands-on
approach to his work. He sees craft work as a way to keep himself rooted in material reality; he feels himself an artisan of the built environment.

Arthur Mamao-Mani

MAMAO-MANI

Juror

Arthur Mamou-Mani AA Dipl, ARB/RIBA FRSA is a French architect and the director of the award-winning Mamou-Mani Architects (MMA), specialising in a new type of digitally designed and fabricated architecture.

He is a lecturer at the University of Westminster and a tutor at
UCL Bartlett in London. Arthur is the founder of Fab. Pub, MMA’s sister company, a digital fabrication laboratory that allows people to experiment with large-scale 3D printers and laser cutters, and the co-founder of GAAMMA, a joint venture with Goudchaux Architectes.
