City of Fragments
The COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted our routines and is forcing us to remain physically apart. Challenges, however, can also mean opportunities. And architects know that well. At the Liverpool School of Architecture, we turned the necessity of working online into a chance to experiment with new forms of creativity and foster a sense of belonging. During foundation week, we ran the City of Fragments Lab: a three-day collective design studio organised in groups of students from all years. Over 400 students came together to design fragments of a larger city that was then assembled. While making friends and familiarising themselves with design software, students envisioned a wide range of urban forms addressing pressing challenges including COVID, climate change, and social justice.
