About the Workshop
Design Quest: Star-chitecture
Tuesday 20th August 2024, 11am-4pm
For children aged 7-10 years.
Shine like a star in the world of architecture!
What and where are the world's most famous buildings and who are the architects who created them? What do they look like and what inspired the architects and engineers to design and build them?
In this fun and creative workshop we will explore the most famous and iconic buildings from around the world, spending some time learning fun facts about them and discussing the stories and ideas that helped to inspire and create them. We will then construct our own large scale 3D versions of the buildings to decorate and play with.
Participants will come away from the workshop with lots of learning around architecture, architects and architectural history that will inform and inspire their own work whilst also brushing up on 3D model making skills and techniques.
This creative architecture workshop for children aged 7 to 10 will be run by artist educator Katie Kennedy.
Katie Kennedy is a graphic designer and educator running her own design business alongside delivering architecture, art, printing and design workshops and projects at museums, galleries, festivals and schools around the country.
About the Workshop Series
For ages 7-10, our Design Quest workshops inspire younger children to use their imagination and hands-on creativity for a fun introduction to architecture. Previous workshops have seen participants create optical illusions, design sustainable dens, build stage sets, develop an animated story around a public space or assemble a house for a mouse.
Based in London, mainly our HQ at 66 Portland Place, all participants must arrive by 11am. These workshops are led by professional educators and all materials are included in the ticket price, but lunch is not provided.
If you're under 18, tickets must be booked by a parent or guardian. Online booking in advance is essential and if we do not receive full registration information in advance of the event we cannot allow the participant to attend.
Some of our workshops involve a visit to an offsite location that is designed to enhance the learning experience and provide vital real-world context. Children are supervised by RIBA staff and volunteers at all times during such visits and location information is provided in advance.
