Join us for a fun and hands-on workshop where you will design and build your own 3D model of a pavilion!
A pavilion is a temporary structure built to showcase ideas, cultures, and stories at an architectural scale. Often used by architects to explore new concepts and materials, or to respond to important global issues, we will look at the Venice Biennale, the Serpentine Pavilion and historical expositions as examples of how these structures have helped demonstrate innovative ideas.
In this creative architecture workshop, we will become architects of our own pavilions. Learning model making techniques through designing and creating structures that explore a chosen theme or idea of your own. We will think about how design can connect people, technology and nature, and experiment with different materials and techniques to do so. All before siting our models in purpose-built pavilion park.
The workshop is led by architect and educator Kathleen Lucas, for young people aged 15 to 18 years old.
