As a tutor at the University of Greenwich - School of Design, my duties include holding seminar sessions and teaching academic readings and writing tutorials for undergraduate students. 'Cultural contexts' is the first of the history and theory modules that form part of the BA Architecture and BA Landscape Architecture programmes. The course introduces ways of thinking about and experiencing architecture as part of its wider context; both the tangible physical context and the
intangible social, historical and cultural context. Key to its evaluation is the introduction of criticality,
assessing space and site through different perspectives - first-person experience, academic research, and
critique. The course allows first-year architecture students to explore the city of London whilst developing analysis, research and writing skills key to the study of architecture, urban space and landscape.

Course Coordinator: Laura Bowie.

Tutors:  Roo Angell, Riccardo Belà, Francesca Romana Dell’Aglio, Will Jennings, Elin Eyborg Lund, Petra Seitz, Freya Wigzell.
