The Townshend Studio is a creative space at the University of West London, designed for learning, collaboration, experimentation, and play. It features a collection of iconic synthesisers donated by Pete Townshend, co-founder and guitarist of The Who.

Our graphic identity expresses the innovative spirit of Roy Ascott’s Ground Course and the synthesisers themselves. Coloured acrylic and metal panels create a visual and material connection to the instruments. Throughout the studio, a network of stories, statements, histories, and images pay tribute to the radical legacy of Ealing Art College, Pete Townshend, and other significant local figures.
