Congratulations to Ann-Melody Akanji from Year 2, BA Architecture on her display at the Royal Academy

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

Ann-Melody Akanji from Year 2, BA Architecture took part in RA Young People’s Programme: We Built This City as part of ‘John Hejduk: London Masque’. The works produced as a part of this programme are currently on display at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.

In Ann-Melody’s own words the display is:

“a selection of drawings and an experimental model exploring the themes surrounding John Hejduk’s London Masque and architecture of the imagination as part of a group exhibition. Mark Hampson (Head of Material Processes at RA/Senior Fellow at the RCA) led the week of making and challenged our understanding of architecture as an extension of personal creativity and agency.”
