Emerging Practices in Architectural Pedagogy (ePub)

Laura Sanderson's work focuses upon the process of analysing and understanding the nature and qualities of place, in order to develop new buildings and other elements within the environment of the already built. As the Atelier Leader for Continuity in Architecture, she has led funded projects in settlements around Manchester; producing research outputs from projects in Bollington (2016), Bakewell (2017), Rochdale (2019), Shrewsbury (2020), and this year in Bradford. These outputs include exhibitions, articles, interactive children's projects, book chapters and built interventions. Laura co-curated UnDoing (2019), an exhibition at the radical independent Castlefield Gallery (with Sally Stone), featuring the work of a number of international artists and architects, exploring how buildings, places and artefacts are re-used, reinterpreted and remembered. These themes will be further explored in the forthcoming book "Remember, Reveal, Construct: Reflections upon the Contingency, Usefulness and Emotional Resonance of Architecture, Buildings and Context" (with Sally Stone 2022). Another imminent project is a collaboration with Luca Csepely-Knorr and the Institute of Place Management examining the High Streets of the District Centres of Manchester. Laura has published a number of reflections on her pedagogic approach including the work in Continuity in Architecture, the Atelier Zero installation and the MSA Events Programme (with Vicky Jolley), which has produced over 200 diverse live projects over the past decade. Laura Sanderson is an Architect, a Senior Lecturer at Manchester School of Architecture, Year Leader for the Master of Architecture Programme and Atelier Leader for Continuity in Architecture.

For more than thirty years Sally Stone has been designing, discussing, formulating ideas, and writing about architecture, building reuse and interiors. She recently published "UnDoing Buildings: Adaptation and Cultural Memory", and she is also the co-author of a
