One of the great pieces of software that the Central St Martins students on the Buildings and People project used has been Google SketchUp, which is freely downloadable.
You can use it to design buildings and create animations through your design. I had a practice with it this morning before using it at Parliament Hill School. These are just cubes decorated with images and textures. Look out for the pupil's work, which will feature their own images.

Nice post! I will be soon opening an online forum for SketchUp and education, and we're looking for student work to showcase. If you have any great models from your students, please get in touch! bonnie@3dvinci.net. Thanks!
