On the 31st March, Unicef will assess St. Cuthbert’s Primary School for the silver award. Ahead of this meeting, on the 24th March, our MA members will visit the school to work with pupils in the Unicef team to share their ideas on how the recreational space in their play garden could be developed. We are hoping to get some great ideas from them!

Our event will provide an opportunity to learn architectural software including Photoshop, InDesign, Sketchup and Revit. We will also work on improving our presentation skills, as well as site surveying, model making and sketching.

In the first week of Events, we will visit St. Cuthbert’s Primary School in Manchester to meet the collaborator and survey the site, followed by a talk from playground., a Manchester based design studio and a site visit to Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan for some inspiration. We will also work on improving our skills in architectural software and start working on initial designs.

In the second week, we will focus on developing our proposals, through drawing and modelmaking and creating presentation boards ready for final presentation to the client on the last day of Events.

On day 3 of Events, we will visit Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan, which will hopefully be a fantastic opportunity to get inspiration towards our emerging design proposals.
