Projects Review 2022: AA on Location

Projects Review, the annual end-of-year exhibition at the Architectural Association, showcases work from every student within the school and celebrates achievements throughout the academic year. As staff and students returned to our buildings on Bedford Square this academic year, the work of the AA returned to its usual sites of production – the unit space, the workshop, the Lecture Hall, Ching’s Yard, the bar and the terrace; spaces where things are made and ideas are discussed. Projects Review 2022 will present completed projects from the past academic year and the tools, concepts and processes that shaped them, all exhibited in the unit and programme spaces across the school within which the work was developed. Interspersed among these rooms are shared spaces for reflection, conversation and celebration as collective installations showing life returning to the AA buildings, with a series of provocations and prompts to remind us how to come together after all this time apart. The exhibition as a whole will highlight the impact of working on location within the unique Georgian spaces of the AA upon our community and the type of work that we produce.

Exhibition Tours

Tours of Projects Review will be held every Tuesday at 6pm and Friday at 1pm for the duration of the exhibition. They are a chance for you to be guided around the work on show by the students who made it.

The tours are free but please register to attend at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/368179624167

The tour will start in the Lecture Hall which can be accessed through door no. 36 from Bedford Square.

You can visit the Projects Review 2022 website that showcases projects from every unit and programme across the school here.

The AA Book 2022: On Location highlights the agendas and practices that have intersected physically and metaphorically throughout the AA during the 2021–22 academic year. The publication features hundreds of projects by students from every unit and programme within the school, which together document the plurality of agendas explored, interests developed, approaches tested and questions posed and addressed by our community this year. The book will be published first as an e-book, followed by a printed book later in the summer, to ensure that it can be viewed by individuals all around the world. Members of the School Community will receive a free copy of the book. AA Members, Alumni and members of the public can purchase a digital copy here. More details on pre-ordering a physical copy will be released shortly.
