NBHP Workshop Summary
This week was a remarkable opportunity for us to delve into the vast realm of natural and artificial floating islands, showcasing limitless potential. The students were utterly mesmerized by the prospect that nature could create mini floating islands, while the artificial island in Dubai left them in sheer wonder with its incredible array of hospitals, monorails, resorts, and exhilarating activities.
The pinnacle of our exploration was examining the Terayatch's conceptual design, a colossal floating island grand enough to host an entire city across the vast expanse of the world's oceans! It was a sheer delight to witness the students' imaginative faculties unleashed on paper, manifesting through vibrant colors, profound context, and their meticulous comprehension of Plan View.

Kings X Workshop Summary
Week 8 of Archimake was an exciting workshop focusing on designing a floating island which would be self sustaining and incorporate the previous weeks flood proof housing. The students had to brain storm what they thought should be included on an island which was self sustaining. For the students this included a Hospital, Fire Station, School, Transport, Parks and more.
The flooding caused by the global climate crisis means that Architects have to find new design solutions. This workshop aimed to develop and advance the students creative problem solving skills.
The students produced a wide variety of designs and it was fantastic to see how everyone's approach to design varied. The students individual ways of working have developed over the last 2 terms showing how the students of Archimake are learning to think independently.
