With an interest in British social housing, and
experience working on bids for community
projects at Public Works, Atkinson opted for
the Spatial Practices programme at CSM,
where he explored London’s housing crisis,
delivering a series of micro-developed
council homes, visually suitable for any area.
Would most like to work with: Peter Barber
Architects. [email protected]

Rong, who already has experience at
OMA, SOM and Neri & Hu, explored the
design of heterogeneous and customisable
environments for her thesis, including
the repurposing of vacant architecture
for grassroots activity in São Paulo. She
is currently doing a master’s at MIT. Would
most like to work with: MIT’s Center
for Advanced Urbanism. [email protected]

Choosing to orient their master’s studies
towards the urban culture of North America,
Amort and Terrier are exploring infrastructure
as artificial landscapes, looking in particular
at the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle. Their
work also references Twin Peaks for exploring
enigmatic atmospheres. Would most like
to work with: Unexpected clients.
