What makes people move from one place to live in another? What roles does architecture play in the movement of people? How can architecture sustain and promote diversity? Is it possible for structures to be disassembled and reassembled in different forms? Let's find out.
Join us for this online workshop to explore the role of architecture in migration and consider how diversity is recognised and valued within the built environment. Investigate different ways that existing structures can be adapted to suit growing communities with complex needs and design a structure that can take more than one form.

About the workshop series
Our Design Time (previously Design Day) workshops, for ages 11 to 15, take architectural design a step further by providing context and knowledge of the built environment to spark creativity. Past workshops have focused on different architectural styles, small and large-scale construction methods, traditional and digital drawing techniques, architectural games and using software to design collaboratively in a shared space.
The workshop will take place online via Microsoft Teams. A link will be sent to participants with confirmed bookings. These workshops are led by professional educators and are supervised by RIBA staff. Please see the materials list for items that will be required during the workshop.
If you're under 18, tickets must be booked by a parent or guardian. Online booking in advance is essential and if we do not receive full registration information in advance of the event, we cannot allow the participant to attend.
