Design Museum Academy Childrens Workshop
Design Camp: Architectural model-making for 8 to 11 year olds
Explore architecture and the world around us through model making – at big and small scale – and turn your building designs into 3D models.
What to expect
In this fun workshop, you will be introduced to a range of architectural influences from around the world and locally to inspire your model-making.
Participants will work in groups and individually on designing and creating models at different scales to discover how buildings stay up, and how models can be different shapes and be made using different materials.
At the end, they will work together to create a giant model of their idea for a new and improved London.
You will learn:
• design and model-making skills
• how to make models of different sizes using different materials such as card and paper
• understand how to communicate through models and drawings
• how to develop ideas on paper into 3D
• about architecture and cities from across the world
Please note that all equipment, materials and light refreshments will be provided, but you must bring a packed lunch.
