Located in Morris+Company’s public gallery and event space, this workshop will start with a tour of the Loop Showcase, a selection of designers and businesses working in innovative ways to reuse and recycle waste materials. Following that we will hear from the exhibition designers CELLA Collective on how material reuse can be adopted into spatial design and architecture. Next, we will get to making! Loop Showcase exhibitors Studio TIP will invite you to turn real-world surplus materials, the kind that normally gets overlooked after mass production, into playful objects, artworks or even miniature building models. Offcuts, trims, odd shapes and leftovers. Guided by their Material Library, we will expand on the principles of reuse, remix and circular design through this creative workshop. Studio TIP: are a creative studio finding local circular solutions for waste resources. Their mission is to uplift and utilise undervalued materials to collectively benefit industries, communities and the environment. Working with secondary resources from local communities, institutions, manufacturing industries and brands, they explore materiality for circular design through playful making. Morris+Company: are a London and Copenhagen based practice that work on housing, schools, healthcare, workplaces, tall buildings, neighbourhood master plans, research, campaigns and much more. In their East London office, they open their doors to the public for events and exhibitions exploring architecture at multiple scales; deep diving into their own archive to tell the stories of built projects, through to investigations into specific materials and how they have shaped our cities. Exploring Architecture is a free monthly event for adults. Please register for a ticket if you are sure you can attend. If you can no longer attend, please let us know by emailing [email protected] as early as possible, allowing us to keep this popular event well attended and free.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
