Description
Date / location
Led by our architecture tutors and students, you’ll explore a piece of London through sketching, writing and photography. You will develop stories, strategies and small-scale interventions to celebrate the richness of what is already here, to improve what can be improved and to change what must be changed. You will be introduced to professional ways of working and techniques of making, and the week will end with a presentation and exhibition of your work. We will also offer advice and guidance on preparing a strong portfolio.
Monday 22 to Friday 26 July Aldgate campus, E1 7NT
This course will introduce you to the role of drawing and sketching within the 3D design process and how it can act as an immediate and playful tool with which to bridge the gap between thinking and making. You will work across a variety of different sketching techniques including one and two-point perspective, contour and cross-contour lines, translating shape into 3D form and exploring the journey from representation to abstraction. You will build individual confidence in drawing as a vital component in the 3D design process.
Monday 22 to Friday 26 July Aldgate campus, E1 7NT
During this week you will have the chance to build and develop your photography skills in a range of hands-on studio sessions before heading out into one of the most exciting and fashionable areas of London to test out your skills. With the support of a professional photographer you will build your own portfolio with a range of portrait and location shots, using our photography studios to process and edit your shots to a professional standard. You will then curate your own exhibition at the end of the week.
Monday 22 to Friday 26 July Aldgate campus, E1 7NT
Taking inspiration from the sights, sounds and materials of the city streets, you will work with a top fashion designer on your own cutting-edge creations that tell a story about London and its people. Sessions will include a fashion trail around Shoreditch, mood boarding, mannequin experimentation and developing your own voice in fashion. At the end of the week you will present your creations in a special exhibition in our own public galleries.
