Herbert Bartlett.
The Bartlett
The Bartlett forms the Faculty of the Built Environment of
University College London. The faculty comprises three principal
subject areas: Architecture, Project Management for Construction
and Urban Planning. Closely linked to the Bartlett School of
Graduate Studies is the Centre for Sustainable Heritage and the UCL
Energy Institute.
The Bartlett attracts a wide variety of visiting speakers and over
the years has played host to key figures from the architectural
world, including
Bernard Tschumi,
Charles Jencks and
Neil Denari.
The
Bartlett has long rivalled the Architectural Association
in London
as one of
the leading architectural schools in London.
The Bartlett's Planning School makes a further important
contribution to the understanding of the built environment. The
school offers two undergraduate degrees, one of which is accredited
by the Royal Town Planning Institute and the Royal Institute of
Chartered Surveyors. It also offers a wide range of graduate
courses.
In 2009,
The Architects’
Journal ranked the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture as the
best architecture school in the UK – for the sixth consecutive
year. In its sixth year of taking first place, the Bartlett
increased its lead, garnering over one-third of the total votes
cast, and nearly double the proportion of their nearest
competitor.
