We are very pleased to support Open City’s ‘Young City Makers‘, which pairs architectural practices with London primary schools. The scheme enables young students to develop their collaboration and model-making skills and helps them understand their role in shaping their city.
In this year’s workshops, children set out to reimagine how their school could be more playful. Taking inspiration from their field trip to Coal Drops Yard, they also gave consideration to amenities, circulation, who they were designing for, how they want the spaces to feel and how they could be informed by their favourite or dream play spaces.
The children JFA worked with created some wonderful, imaginative work and were the winners of the Community Prize in the awards ceremony at Westminster City Hall.
