Unit 9 is a design studio within the undergraduate architecture programme at the Bartlett UCL. Led by Jessica In and Chee-Kit Lai, the Unit has developed a continued interest in the performative aspects of new technologies and their expressive potentials for the design and representation of architecture.
The featured work of the Unit’s students are diverse, wide-ranging and speculative – including projects that explore overlays and intersections between physical, fictional and virtual places and landscapes; of architectures resulting from societal changes in economy or politics; to projects that re-imagine the body and its associated cultural rituals.
