AIA UK 2024 Student Charrette

This one-day design competition brings together teams of Part 1 students from around the country to compete in an entirely analogue event.

When: Saturday 26 October 2024, 9am-6pm

Where: Kohn Pedersen Fox, 7a Langley St, London WC2H 9JA

Cost: £5, entry fee refundable for students that attend

Working without a computer, you will need to think fast and draw faster, developing and testing your representational skills without the aid of digital technologies. Teams will be mentored by practicing architects, and the event will conclude with a juried design review.

The charrette is run at the KPF office in Central London on a weekend. Prizes will be offered for the winning team and one runner-up team, with the winning proposal published and promoted across the AIA UK's social media channels.

• The £5 entry fee is refundable for students that attend the event.
