In Year 5 this week, we took part in a second virtual workshop led by the Institute of Imagination. The theme this time was Wild Eco Builders where we looked at how the science of nature can inspire us to imagine creative solutions when designing architecture. Through the theme of biomimicry, we looked at life on land and water with activities including using magnifying glasses and a special camera added on to our iPads to critically analyse what natural items look like, as well as feeling their texture. Next, we practised sculpting with paper to build biomimicry-inspired shapes. Once we had some ideas, we designed our building. Finally, we created our designs. We used lots of different skills such as communication, team work, creativity, design thinking, engineering, problem solving and scientific skills to create our own Wild Eco Build. Take a look at our final designs!
