ArCCAT Climate Action Week: Launch of Design Competition for a material reuse station for the studios | Monday, October 25 at 13:00 in Studio, Marylebone Campus

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

When: Monday, 25th of October 13:00-14:00

Where: Studio, Marylebone Campus

Who: Diony Kypraiou, Stefania Boccaletti, Paolo Zaide and Tabatha Mills.

For both students and architectural designers, the physical model is a manifestation of ideas. The act of physical model-making is central to architectural education and our studios. It presents the opportunity to test, explore, speculate, compose and further the design process. How can you as students begin to challenge wasteful practice? Can we make our studio practice more circular?

Five teams of 4 L5 students each, drawn from each of the undergraduate degrees (Interiors, Architecture, AED, Technology) will participate in this design challenge for a week.

Exhibition continues online from Friday, July 3 to Wednesday, September 30, 2020

OPEN 2020 is a virtual exhibition of projects that reflect the varied design approaches of the School’s diverse students and staff, and our place at the heart of London.

Projects explore architecture at all scales, from door-handles to territories, with generosity, wit and verve. Not all of the projects quite work – but then they shouldn’t. Architecture school is a place for experimentation.

OPEN 2020 exhibits all manner of hand and digital drawings, models, films, and prototypes in a virtual setting.

Please join us online for the opening night, or at any time in the following weeks, to revel in the unpredictable, the challenging and the entertaining.
