NBH Prep Workshop Summary
NBH Prep Workshop Summary

The NBH Prep students were a radiant group filled with energy and life to both learning and drawing the project from the screen to their page. They all engaged in questions and some attempted to regurgitate the overall concept of today's lesson. It's those moments of grasping spatial understanding that will allow the continual curiosity of design for the generation to come.

QPS Workshop Summary

In the workshop we explored design for thermal comfort. Through looking at different palaces, chimney's there was detailed information to explain how hot air and cold air moves. To showcase it more there was a focus on Paternoster Square vents. Finally to end the workshop the children drew orthographic drawings of the vents. The children really did a good job trying to draw the vents, showing shading and structure

Kings Cross Workshop Summary

Archimakers thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to get out into the City of London to visit the Angel Wings structure by Heatherwick Studio. The project helped children to understand more about building physics and how hot air rises and cold air drops. Recognising that new buildings need lots of electricity which generates heat that needs to be released was also made clear in this geometrically impressive, and challenging to draw, Angel Wings project.

Our Latest Models of the Angel Wings project by Heatherwick Studio

We introduced students to the 'Pleats Please' range by Issey Miyake, who sadly passed away in August 2022. Archimakers enjoyed learning about pleats in design and for the task returned to last weeks Heatherwick Angel Wings project to create their own paper model in the workshop. Some joined the Live Online workshop to complete at home and whilst abroad on holiday!
