This is a hands on craft based crash course in architectural model making, suitable for beginners and experts alike. We will take you through the basics of physical model making with cardboard, and the best ways to photograph and visually record it once you have finished. By the end of the session you will have a cardboard model and digital photo files to demonstrate your new skills.

Participants must be age 16-24 years old, with an interest in design and the built environment.


Open City is a charity empowering communities to learn about, feel connected to, and have a role in shaping places where they live
