W.U.C.E (Woodford University of Culture and the Environment) is an architectural proposition based on future visions; a response to the predicted needs of upcoming generations. By the year 2020, it is proposed that a reverse will have occurred in the trend of urbanization. This 'ruralisation' is caused by a number of factors including the soaring cost of urban living, the inability of the urban environment to cope with bulging populations and a growth in the agricultural sector amid fears of peak food. Another key reason behind this shift is the dramatic rise in technology which has enabled immediate, reliable, long distance communication. This allows rural residents to maintain a strong connection with the urban environment while being able to enjoy a peaceful country setting.
