Supermodels: Architects of Tomorrow

Children between the ages of 8-12 years are being given the opportunity to build a model house, which they can keep, as part of “Supermodels: Architects of Tomorrow” — a Sydney Architecture Festival event being held on Sunday 2 October 2016 from 10am to 12pm at The Brewery Yards Market, 28 Broadway, Chippendale.

Every child participating in ““Supermodels: Architects of Tomorrow” will be given a kit of parts that includes all the pieces required to make an Australian house that is based on the one in this photo that was designed by James Grose.

Architects and architecture students will be on hand to offer advice and guidance to each child. They will give insights into why this house does not have a pitched roof, and why its walls are mainly made of glass. They will also talk about what architects consider when designing a house for Australian conditions.

According to Mr Brian Clohessy, BVN Sydney Studio Director, “BVN aims to support the development of a strong architecture culture and one of the ways this aim can be realised is through being a partner of the Sydney Architecture Festival with its programme that offers experiences that transform the way people understand the places they live, work and play in every day.”

Parents can register here to ensure they secure one of the limited places and kits available.
