Are you interested in a career in architecture, design, cities, technology or the creative industries? Sign up for this taster day to discover how architecture shapes the places we live, work and connect.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the role of architects in crating our built environment through creative model-making and emerging digital technologies.
Working collaboratively, you'll recreate parts of the Greenwich Peninsula as a series of cardboard architectural models, before using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to digitally document and archive your work. Along the way, you'll gain practical insight into the design process and experience Ravensbourne University's innovative approach to learning.
Secure your spot today, and a member of our team will be in touch shortly.
