Exciting news! Earlier this year we collaborated with Zaha Hadid Architects to deliver our 1+1 Programme with a school in East London!
A huge shoutout to Zaha Hadid Architects, London Design & Engineering UTC and all our amazing partners this year for making this programme possible. Together, we’re shaping the architects and designers of tomorrow!
The 1+1 Programme is a game-changer for young, aspiring architects and designers aged 16-18. The programme delivers an immersive experience with an in-school workshop, a studio visit, and for a select few, work experience in a design studio. It's all about inspiring the next generation, and we couldn’t be more proud of it!
Collaborating with such a prestigious firm is a fantastic opportunity for students to see firsthand what a career in architecture and design could look like. We’re thrilled to help them build new skills, confidence, and professional networks.
1+1 Programme Structure
Here's how it works:
- Model Making Workshop: Students spend a full day crafting a model, learning new terminology, and developing their design thinking skills.
- Work Experience & Studio Visit: Selected students get to dive deeper with hands-on work experience at a leading global design studio, while others enjoy an insightful studio visit if full-time work experience isn't feasible.
Why partner with us?
We believe the 1+1 Programme helps to foster a positive relationship between schools and architecture and design studios and gives young people a clear example of their potential future, should they wish to pursue a career in architecture and design.
