Hey guys!

I’m Maega from Chennai, India. I’m currently doing my first year of MArch with &rchitecture. I'm fascinated by the potential of architecture and its capacity to impact the dynamic of a space. To me, architecture isn't just about designing buildings but creating spaces that influence our lives and everyday environment.

Apart from architecture, I’ve always loved spending my time indulging in dance and music. Dancing, singing and playing my handy little guitar are my go-to hobbies. I believe that creativity is manifested in many different ways, and it often shines the brightest through a child's unbridled expression. I am really excited about this project and look forward to making it a huge success.

Meet the collaborators from Oswald Road Primary School who are beyond excited to share a few words with us!

“We are the year 4 teachers at Oswald Road who are lucky (and excited) to be involved in the Little Architects project.

Aside from our classes, we each have our different roles within school. Hayley is curriculum lead for phonics, Helen for history and Christian for PE.

Not only do we love planning lessons and teaching the children, but we get on pretty well too - we even have our own card club on a Friday. To date the winning tally is even!”

Meet our second collaborator, Laura Sanderson!

Laura is an architect, educator and creative who loves people and places. Until around a year ago, Laura was the Deputy Programme Leader of the MArch at MSA and the Atelier Leader of Continuity in Architecture. Since leaving MSA, Laura has worked as a Research Associate with the Women of the Welfare Landscape, took on a Creative Residency at the Museum of Science and Industry and is currently working on the development of a new project with Heritage Schools, as well as being a regular Visiting Tutor at MSA.

Laura loves long walks, huge cups of tea, good books and bad telly!

Finalising the workshop modules

Discussed the final output and how we can go about implementing it. Started with a rough framework for the action plan and moved on to finalising the details of the workshop modules. Also worked on the poster in preparation to launch the blog!
