Eight prospective U6 architects took part in a day long workshop run by Juliet Haysom who is a teacher at the prestigious Architectural Association School.
The day centered around a series of Advertisements for Architecture by the influential international architect Bernard Tschumi one of which read: 'To really appreciate architecture, you may even need to commit a murder'.
Taking this provocation as a starting point, this workshop invited the U6 architecture students to reconsider the familiar surroundings of the school in as a site for such an extreme action, and to produce measured sketches and notation diagrams that described their devised event.
By inviting students to read the buildings and grounds 'against the grain', the intention was to reveal the hidden aspects of the site's design and shed light on the close relationship between buildings and the ways in which they are inhabited."
