05.20_WORKSHOP DAY 2 CLASS 4A MODEL MAKING SESSION

The afternoon session consisted of creating 3D models of the crazy ideas the children came up with earlier in the day. The children really showed their personalities through the model making and I feel like the students really encouraged this. So, we managed to create 5 completely different models in the end, including a cat mansion, a monster eating the building, lots of pools and football fields, stargazing areas and colourful murals and stained glass. The model making is where the children really let loose and created designs completely out of the box. Whether we were expecting this, I’m not sure, but we were all incredibly impressed with what the children came up with. I’m really hoping that the students are able to take the colour and fun that the children put into their models and plans into a more feasible designs later in the week that we can present to the appointed architect.

I think the workshop was a great learning opportunity for everyone in the classroom from all different points of view. I’m hoping that the MSA students have learnt to let loose a bit and get some creative ideas flowing near the start of a project and think more about what a project provides to a client before getting too bogged down in too much detail. And I hope that the children at the school had a lot of fun and learned something about architecture along the way.

I want to also say a big well done to the other students in my room that were helping the children. They interacted great with the children and brought their own approaches to the group that helped create the variety of outcomes. I feel like they were thrown into the deep end with this workshop but everyone did amazingly and they should be proud of how they all did today.
