What's In A Building?

http://www.hertfordshirefilmconsortium.co.uk/content/downloads/Herts%20Education%20Leaflet%20A&G.pdf

A key characteristic of Modernist architecture was that 'form should follow function', in that a building's look should be determined by what it will be used for and what it is made from. Young people will be asked to take on the role of architect using a range of model making materials such as foam board, card and balsa wood to build their own architects' models of a building they have designed, having first considered what its use will be. Suitable for KS 1, 2 and 3 with advanced facilitators for KS 4 and A-Level students.

How to obtain

This workshop costs £6 per person. For more information and to book, contact Martin Russell on 01707 286513 or email m.russell@herts.ac.uk
