Go Architecture: Hands On

Our 'hands-on' days embrace a practical approach to learning about architecture and heritage.

Past 'hands on' days have included:

• A learning day for Built Environment Diploma Students and members of the public.
• An introduction to heritage restoration techniques, where participants had the opportunity to take part in practical activities and learn about the local architectural history.
• Public workshops with a wood carver and a stone carver, exploring traditional skills with a generation who are not familiar with these techniques.
• Creative workshops with young people creating lean-tos and junk tepees.

Future 'hands on' days that we're planning include:

• A local straw bale builder (Carol Atkinson of 'Home Grown Home') will be working with the public to create a straw bale wall which will then be rendered with clay plaster in the grounds of West Park. The public are able to join in with this as the (rather toxic) lime plaster will not be in use.

Go Architecture: Heritage

Aimed at Primary Schools (Key Stage 1&2), this project enables young people to explore architecture and design through their own local heritage.

Workshops include:

• A visit to a building of local architectural importance and historical interest.
• A creative activity that explores and references the local built environment heritage.

Benefits include:

• Young people and whole schools developing a greater connection to their historic environment

Subject areas that can be covered:

• Geography
• History
• Design and Technology
• Mathematics
• English
• Citizenship

Go Architecture: Live

A project for schools to increase design awareness and utilise the built environment as a learning resource.  This project can explore, for example, the outdoor space of a school and/or nearby community space.

This project can incorporate development of the area's public realm, as well as addressing future changes to the area, and the role the school can play in caring for the area.

Jack's House

This project works with young people who are in a non-traditional learning environment, encouraging them to explore the built world around them and to discuss ideas about placemaking and public art.
