Design Time: Reimagine = Regenerate – In-person workshop

About the workshop

Design Time: Reimagine = Regenerate

Friday 31st May 2024, 11am-4pm

For children aged 11-14 years.

Join us for this in person creative architecture workshop where we will explore the possibilities of reused waste products in designing sustainable structures.

Participants will learn about how we can improve the world around us, with what we already have. The challenge will be to push the boundaries even further, and imagine a world of buildings and cities where they regenerate what has been lost in the past - a world where we are not only sustainable, but actually regenerating natural resources.

Looking at a street in London where there are leftover spaces and buildings that may need new functions in the future. We will design solutions for these spaces and move on to use card, paper, bottles, and other recyclable discarded materials to create new versions of these buildings and pieces of city.

With these reimagined pieces done individually or in pairs, we will reimagine the whole street, coming together at the end of the workshop to reflect on how the designing of buildings and streets can show a totally reimagined future city that regenerates the planet.

This workshop will be run by Alexander Frehse and Aleksandar Stojakovic of Studio 8FOLD, and is for young people aged 11 to 14 years.

Studio 8FOLD is an innovative design, strategy and research-led architecture studio based in London. We see architecture as a powerful nexus to fuse social & environmentally conscious projects with capital-driven projects, spatialising an outcome that leverages the best attributes of each. We are looking out for organisations that aim to create a cultural shift for a more sustainable world.

About the Workshop Series

Our Design Time (previously Design Day) workshops for ages 11-14 take architectural design a step further by providing context and knowledge of the built environment to spark creativity. Past workshops have focused on different architectural styles, small and large-scale construction methods, traditional and digital drawing techniques, architectural games and using software to design collaboratively in a shared space.

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.
