In the pursuit of knowledge, students will be able to learn by exploring various skills in regards to arts especially in designing the exhibition which is the main part of the project. Art-Griculture, sketching, model-making, and visual rendering workshops will be conducted to improve architectural students’ general standard of knowledge.

WHAT WILL WE DO?

Week 1
This is the phase of forming togetherness among the team members and learning software skills such as Photoshop, InDesign, SketchUp, and many more. Also, there will be a session with the collaborator in the process of get-to-know the site in depth.

Week 2
It's time to brush up on our wood-working skills. We will start to build the exhibition by reusing the materials provided by the collaborator and showcasing them to the wider community to bring awareness of the nature and wildlife of the site.

Social Impact
The project allows the local community to engage in their environment, it not only increases knowledge but gives them a chance to make and fight changes. The project creates a space where the community can share their thoughts and opinions.

Community
Our team will be designing and building an outdoor exhibition, that will hold information on the biodiversity of Ryebank fields and the importance of saving local wildlife and further exploring how this has an impact globally. “Think Globally , Act Locally”

Sustainability
The materials we will be using will be reused/recyclable materials such as wood pallets that the collaborator is able to access. This makes the exhibition space flexible to design as it also allows locals in the future to evolve and improve the design by the reusable materials if they wish.

Environment
When designing and making the exhibition we will be inspired by the environment of Ryebank fields and what the exhibition space can offer to the locals and the wildlife, by including elements such as garden beds and insect houses.

The Team with the Collaborator!

Stephen first got involved in protecting green-space when Turn Moss was under threat from development by Gary Neville. Since then he quit his job at a call centre and have been part of many Extinction Rebellion actions. He has become all too aware of the environmental crises we face as a result of our ecological overshoot. With a degree in history he believes the key to sustainable living can be found by studying our own past and listening to the worlds indigenous peoples. He was made aware of the camp on Ryebank by friends in XR and have find continued inspiration from the community of people intent of protecting this precious land.

We introduced the site, and talked about the goals and mission for the next two weeks for the first 2 hours. Even though today's weather was not that good, we went to the site together by bus and walked for a few minutes in the heavy rain, but we made it to the site and discussed with Stephen the planning and materials for the exhibition.
