We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, and we’re taking on one of the biggest and most outdated industries in the world. Theoretical frameworks will help us seek space for design impact and agency through established and emerging modes of practice and projects that operate upon, within, or against these systemic constructs.Urban Jungle is here to change the insurance industry for good. This course addresses the practice of design as it inevitably confronts and interacts with infrastructures of policy, technology, and finance.

A primary objective of the course is to identify gaps and opportunities in the layered socio-technical systems that guide the production of the built environment to enable culturally and socially transformative development with the goal of practical application in the real world. The course is designed to explore, translate and generate alternative readings of our built context to imagine how design and planning practice can shape the environmental, social, cultural, and experiential qualities of urban form within our emerging 21st century context. These constructs shape the design and production of the built environment in our time of increasing uncertainty, project complexity, and risk. The Urban Stack is a pedagogical framework for understanding the infrastructures of power that operate in relationship to practice.
