Design Time: Ludicrous locations (in-person workshop)

In this creative architecture workshop, inspired by the exhibition Difficult Sites: Architecture Against the Odds, we will design, problem solve,and create buildings in ludicrous and fantastical locations. For 11 to 14 years.

For children aged 11 to 14 years.

The challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to come up with some clever ideas and designs for building on a difficult site where no one has dared build before. Are you ready to risk it?

About the session

In this creative architecture workshop, inspired by the exhibitionDifficult Sites: Architecture Against the Odds, we will design, problem solve, and create buildings in ludicrous and fantastical locations - how can we ensure that they will work and what will the designs look like?

Will your ideas fit the brief or will it be back to the drawing board? You will be the engineer, architect, and builder in this fun and inspiring workshop.

To get things started we will play an architecture inspired game to set some design boundaries and generate ideas as a group for our buildings, moving on to create 3D models of our individual designs each with a unique set of challenges.

Participants will come away from the workshop with lots of learning around architecture, working to a design brief whilst also brushing up on 3D model making skills and techniques.

This creative architecture workshop for children aged 11 to 14 will be run by artist educator Katie Kennedy.
