The Westminster Hydro Green Wall Installed in Marylebone Campus

This academic year, several of the BSc Architecture and Environmental Design students [who are part of the Westminster Environmental Society] and academics have been collaborating with Square Mile Farms in the creation of a hydroponic green wall for the production of food.

This project is the result of the successful application to the Westminster Green Fund.

The wall was installed in the entrance of Marylebone campus on Thursday, May 26th and will be ready for the first harvest after 4 weeks. The installation process was lead by students and Square Mile Farms team. The Vice Chancellor Peter Bonfield also visited the site and chatted to the team.

The official launch and the first harvest are scheduled for June 24th. To attend, please register here.

From September, the BSc Architecture and Environmental Design students will take charge of the maintenance and harvesting of the wall.

Congratulations to all involved!

Oculus Pavilion – Invitation to Launch Event: Wednesday 13th June, 18:00-21:00

When:  Launch -13th June 2018, 18:00-21:00 | Exhibition Continues – Thursday 14th June to Friday 13th July

Where: Rear of Learning Platform, Architecture and the Built Environment, University of Westminster, 35 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5LS

A new Oculus Pavilion, designed and built by third year Architecture students from the University of Westminster, will open Wednesday 13th June, at the rear of Westminster’s Marylebone Campus, as part of the London Festival of Architecture.

The circular structure with a view into the sky was inspired by architect Vladimir Tatlin’s 1919 design Tatlin Tower, a design not realised until a sculpture was built in 1971 as part of the “Art in Revolution” exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. The 1971 sculpture was reconstructed at the rear patio of the Marylebone Campus, the same location where the students’ Oculus pavilion will be exhibited this year.

The project was funded by the Quintin Hogg Trust and led by Westminster Architecture Lecturers Maria Kramer and Eric Guibert.
