Committees plan our cities and architects shape our buildings, but who helps humans navigate their way through this manufactured environment? One could argue that successful architecture is self-explanatory; so are public signage and design elements aimed directly at those using the space really that important? Joining the discussion are Sarah Manning of wayfinding studio Spaceagency, designer Morag Myerscough and Oliver Goodhall, co-founder of We Made That, who will be considering what makes great public design – clarity, simplicity, imagination or innovation?

New Youth Hostel Bayreuth →

Sarah lectures at the Architectural Association →
Sarah Manning is a founding director of Spaceagency, a design and research practice specialising in experience design. The practice is built on the belief that how people experience a space matters above all else.
Spaceagency focuses on the cognitive side of how people navigate their surroundings. Its work sits at the interface between people and the spaces they inhabit. That includes the information they encounter, the elements they interact with at a human scale, and the way both shape behaviour.
Many tech companies explore user experience through the screen. Spaceagency explores it through the built environment, treating design as the user interface for the places we live, work and move through. The practice is equally interested in how that interface will evolve, as the physical world becomes increasingly layered with the digital information now entering our homes, workplaces and cities.
Teaching in Cardiff
Peter has been invited back to Cardiff University to teach in this year's Urban Design Master programme. Students will be working on the Kings Cross site in Central London. Our overarching topic will be 'Inclusivity' and students will be challenged to articulate their own, personal response to this topic.
Spaceagency is delighted by the ongoing involvement with Cardiff University.
The MA Urban Design will enable you to learn through design, gain familiarity with theory, undertake research and study development and design control processes, all of which are intrinsic to the discipline of urban design.
Urban design is a discipline that sits between a number of built environment areas of knowledge including urban policy, architectural design, landscape design and property valuation.
Studio teaching is built around development sites in real contexts to develop creative, practical and sustainable solutions to a range of urban design problems.
