Budding Architects

Hampton School have included an article in their School Journal on the year-8 Art and Architecture workshops, with DesignBox Architecture:  https://hamptonschool.org.uk/2017/01/architect/

The series of workshops was very hands-on, working with materials to make models and full size structures from initial design concepts for a shelter.  The class found this engaging and expressed lots of enthusiasm.  Succeeding in the challenge to realise their designs on a large scale became a highlight of the process.  One intention was to demonstrate  the significance of Art based subjects in the support of Maths and Science.  In Architecture most everything is connected.


This was carried out  in conjunction with the RIBA Architecture in Schools Programme.
