Summer school for the University of the Creative Arts
This course for the International Summer School is interested in exploring architecture as a spatial art form, rooted in the experience of the body. Designed for both current and prospective students of architecture, the two-week course invites students to work with historical architectural fragments, identifying architectural themes and seeking out creative potential in the world as found. Modelmaking is treated as a primary means of exploration.
The studio project, Capture the Castle, asked students to concentrate on a single architectural element, floor, structure, wall or window, as they designed an intervention for the existing Norman structure of Farnham Castle Keep in Surrey.
The project began with a site visit, where students were invited to explore the Castle while following a series of creative drawing tasks which concentrate on sketching and scale. In groups, students intervened in a base model of the site, deciding on a programme for the site and exploring the creative challenge of designing through an intervention in a singular architectural element alone.
