The Architecture Foundation has just launched the first comprehensive survey of Part 2 architectural design teaching in London. The website aggregates all 88 MArch and Diploma studios from London's eleven architecture schools into a single searchable database.
The database aims to open up lines of communication between students and tutors exploring similar fields of research in different universities.
The 88 studio descriptions are tagged with keywords relating to the topics being investigated and the places where projects are being developed. A student at the Cass concerned with the future of light industry in the Old Kent Road can therefore quickly establish that colleagues at the Bartlett are also focussed on manufacturing while others at the AA are working in the same part of London.
