Models from afternoon workshop

Jenny Osuldsen from Snohetta visited the first year studio session on Thursday as part of a joint venture between the school and the Birmingham Architectural Association.

First came a brief talk on the University of The Gambia in Faraba Banta - going through the initial masterplan and how the architectural form of each modular building developed from traditional African symbolism.

Next came an engaging workshop with the first year students to create any form from a single A4 sheet of paper. We had 3 minutes in groups of 3 to prepare the model. Results above. An amusing discussion followed. You had to be there.
