City Designers, Builders and Refiners Workshop of the future: Unleashing Creativity with Buttress Architects!!!

An event for children to let their imaginations run free, and for them to create a future city as they see it. This workshop will be hosted by Buttress Architects, who are a well established practice in Manchester. Using cardboard, old packaging and whatever else can be foraged before it gets thrown away, the team will help the children build a city of their dreams. And who knows, maybe we’ll discover the architects of tomorrow!

Over the first three hours of the session, children will engage in a creative exploration, envisioning and mapping out a new city, considering its features, needs, and sensory experiences. The team from Buttress will encourage out-of-the-box thinking by using various materials to shape the future city collaboratively.

The final hour will focus on the repurposing of the city, exploring what elements are retained, discarded, and preserved, sparking discussions on decision-making. Participants will have the chance to preserve, recycle and build wrecking balls to reimagine parts of the city anew, encouraging imaginative and thoughtful engagement.

All materials provided. Suitable for 6-14 year olds.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Places maybe limited due to space…
