SYN City is a postgraduate research & design unit at UCA Canterbury School of Architecture. Each year, the studio dedicates itself to one territory of investigation. In 2012/13, Ashford in Kent has been our testbed to explore the dialectical and contested nature of the contemporary city. By focusing on one exemplary context, specific and at the same time typical and paradigmatic urban conditions are addressed. The studio critically engages with the complex and often antithetical forces within the expanded field of urban transformation processes and synthesises them into programmatic and spatial design proposals.
