Dominika Wochowska, Continuity atelier, MArch 1

Brief background: I’m originally from Poland, but my architectural journey began in England, where I completed my undergraduate course at the University of Sheffield. I’ve always been passionate about designing spaces for children and participatory design, which I experienced first-hand while working as an architectural assistant in Leeds. I love model making and diagramming. I also enjoy experimenting with colours and materials that evoke emotions or influence users’ comfort. I chose this project for the museum because it combines my interest in children’s architecture with my passion for visiting museums and experiencing interactive, inspiring spaces.

Skills: Pencil drawing, model making, Adobe Suite, ArchiCAD

Interests: DIY, travelling, skiing, cooking

Hello everyone! Meet the collaborators!

We're excited about the upcoming Action Weeks and can't wait to share the effects of our collaboration with Manchester Museum! The museum's mission is to become the most inclusive, imaginative, and caring place you'll ever visit. As part of this project, we're working closely with Hannah and Wendy from Civic Engagement and Education, whose passion and dedication make this collaboration a true pleasure.
We are also closely collaborating with Pinc College, which works in unique ways with creative approaches to education. They have worked with groups such as the Greater Manchester Autism Consortium, which gives us a fantastic opportunity to create a space where every young visitor feels heard and valued. Through this collaboration, we aim to design a sensory room in one of the museum's spaces that will be accessible and supportive for children with different sensory needs. What's more, we hope to provide a space that supports and offers them comfort and the chance to engage in museum experiences fully.

We're looking forward to presenting the results of this exciting collaboration!

This is the room!
