Learn to think like an Architect using Minecraft.

CREATE A FLOATING CITY 2050 Design Challenge

Louise introduces the project with 20 minute video , please watch a few of the videos earlier.

This workshop assumes you have prior knowledge in Minecraft. For ages 8 upwards.

We recommend you try a hand sketch before you model in Minecraft to help you get started as the brain is faster than the computer and easier to change and consider.

YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTS AND AN ARCHITECTURAL CLASSIC AND COMMENCE THINKING LIKE AN ARCHITECT.

Students are to use their own realm and we would welcome you sending us your results for feedback.

You are also welcome to use lego as a quick way to get your thinking started.
