Interviews with Leading Architects Available

We have a wonderful range of interviews with Architects and Engineers available! Interviews have been carried out by Archimakers who arranged a series of questions for their esteemed interviewees. Teatime Q&A is a series which we ran during the pandemic when children had less access to interesting educational experiences, and this was a welcome break to the norm for everyone! Now they are arranged for everyone to be able to enjoy them.

Queens Park School Workshop summary

In the workshop we explored another artist Hussein Chalayan and his work alongside recapping on some of the work by Issey Miyake. Moving then to a drawing task of a coffee table skirt by Chalayan. When showing the video of the coffee table skirt, the children had a lot to share on how they found it to be impressive from being a table then turning into a skirt.

Kings X Workshop Summary

All of the children produced good quality drawings. Well done to everyone who joined us and it was excellent seeing everyone in person. Maryam was very enthusiastic about getting the details correct and enjoyed presenting her work at the end. Scarlett made a good start on shading and adding colour to her drawing. The Stars of the Week paid attention throughout and produced good quality drawings.

QPS Workshop Summary

We asked the group asked what they thought about Hussein Chalayan's coffee table skirt and Dan expressed how it was compact and that you could travel with it. It was really great to see the children really engaged in the workshop and they produced some really nice pieces of work.
