Forensic Architecture 11th Mar 2009

22 secondary school pupils from Camden went to the Hunterian Museum to work with Central St Martin's students.

They explored the Georgian and modern architecture around Lincoln's Inn Fields and were then given the brief of creating a piece of sculpture advertising the Hunterian Museum relating the museum's collections to architecture.

Here are a couple of the maquettes they created.

Buildings and Patterns Spring term 2009

Reception class pupils from a primary school in Camden have been visiting the British Museum as part of the Buildings and Patterns part of the project.


They have been gathering inspiration from the museum galleries in the form of sketches and mood boards. Back at school they choose their best idea to work up into a piece of art.


On the second visit they created mood boards based on the African galleries and created a piece of conceptual woven art based on the colours and textures they saw. Here's one of their mood boards with the final woven art.

Buildings and People Easter 2009

The first Buildings and People part of the Living Heritage Project took place over the Easter holidays 2009.


Four secondary school pupils attended and worked with Central St Martins students on paper theatres and 3D digital models inspired by photographs they took on visits to the Sir John Soane's Museum and the British Museum. Here's a photograph taken by one of the pupils of the Great Court of the British Museum.


After six days of hard work, the pupils got to display their final work in the Great Court of the British Museum.
