Drop-in Design: Your Future City

This October half term, families are invited to imagine, redesign and build shared public buildings and landmarks of tomorrow in this hands-on drop-in design workshop. What might a library look like in 2050? Choose a school, hospital, library, train station or something entirely new and reinvent it for the future. Take inspiration from Design 1900–Now galleries, which explore how design has changed the ways we live, work, travel, communicate and more, over the past 125 years. Work with surprising materials, shapes, structures and ideas found in the collection, to get designing and making your own futuristic buildings. Using recycled materials, bring your ideas to life by making a mini model of your dream building. Then add it to our city of the future that will grow and change over five days. This is a free, drop-in event for families to enjoy all together; no child can be left unattended. Suitable for ages 5+.
