Welcomes

Introducing  our new teaching partner at UNITSIXTEEN:

Jonathan Hagos

Born in Amsterdam, brought up in the UK and of Eritrean origin, Jonathan holds a 
Bachelor of Science and Post Graduate Diploma in Architecture from the Bartlett 
School of Architecture, UCL. His work focuses on the ‘re‐illustration’ of post‐colonial 
themes such as freedom, identity and migration executed through diverse media 
such as cartography through to film and full‐scale installations. Jonathan is 
interested in the 'Architect as Cartographer' and the making of maps as 
interpretations of  our surroundings to form representations of perceived, or 
possible, realities. Jonathan's work has featured in international design journals, 
publications and exhibitions, including 'Freedom of Speech in the City’ in Barcelona 
which he curated, Tokyo Designers Week and London Design Festival.

Jonathan was Lead Tutor of the Architecture Foundation programme at the Cambridge 
School of Visual and Performing Arts, and continues to act as a visiting design critic 
at design schools around the UK. He taught with Professors Andrew Holmes and 
David Greene on the MArch course at Oxford Brookes University and will be joining 
the new undergraduate unit, Unit H at Oxford Brookes University for the upcoming 
academic year 2012-2013.
