This week, pupils from Francis Holland Regent’s Park and St Marylebone School presented their final projects as part of the Architectural Ambassadors programme, delivered in partnership with Royal Institute of British Architects.
Over a number of months, pupils worked in mixed-school teams alongside RIBA-accredited architects to design a community building in Regent’s Park, considering key factors such as site, materials, design and sustainability before pitching their final presentations. It was fantastic to see their creativity, collaboration and confidence come together in such beautifully considered and professionally delivered proposals.
Programmes such as this form an important part of our commitment to providing enrichment opportunities that extend pupils’ experience of real-world knowledge beyond the curriculum. Through partnerships with leading organisations and other schools, pupils benefit from expert guidance, collaborative learning and valuable opportunities to broaden their networks beyond their own school environment.
Congratulations to all involved – there were some truly impressive feats of architecture on display, and perhaps one day we may see one of these designs shaping the London skyline.
