Architectural Association School of Architecture

The Architectural Association (AA) began in 1847 as a student‑driven collective. Since its founding, it has consistently challenged conventional models of architectural education, urging its community to interrogate the social, cultural, and political dimensions of architecture as a discipline and practice.

Today, the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA) in London is regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious, experimental, and influential architecture schools. As an independent institution, it has shaped generations of architects — including figures such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, and Richard Rogers — whose work has defined contemporary architectural discourse.

Channel
no.5

One hundred and twenty eight distributed evenly over the City of London and interconnected by means of ISD network and a “micro wave transmitter”.

Before being able to narrow/broadcast your “message” you might want to use the “Debutante’s Booth (if you are new to the network), or the “Intro Booth” where you can prepare your narrow/broadcast. Here you can discover the facilities, which are open to the whole network and are located along the Thames, such as the “Channel no.5 Expert Program” or the “Hall of Digital Personalities” that make program making as natural as going to toilet.

Once you have produced your program instant satisfaction is guaranteed. Check out the “Connector Platform”. Put on your “V.R.” helmet and see what reactions your program provokes in the network. With you “V.R.” helmet on you have a four-dimensional overview of the lifecycle, the pains and joys, of your message.
