NEW: This year the AIA has coordinated with the British Institute of Interior Design to open the event to interior students as well as architecture students.
Theme ’11:
Charrette ’11 challenges students to explore how architectural form can create both expressive and rich interior spaces which heighten one’s understanding of an overall concept or idea.
This annual event is a lively opportunity for students to ‘limber up’ early in the academic year, as well as for recent graduates to revisit the experiences of the one-day design exercise.
Participants will design collaboratively in teams of around 6 to 8 students, mentored by a seasoned practicing architect or interior architect.
To heighten a fun sense of competition, participants are encouraged to work as a team ‘representing’ their School or practice. Individuals, as well, will be married-up with a team on the day. At the end of the afternoon, about 5pm, team submissions will be discussed publicly, and prizes will be awarded to the three most compelling schemes.
The Chairman of the Jury this year will be:
Paul Finch OBE
- Journalist and Critic
- Deputy Chair of the Design Council
- Chair of the Design Council’s CABE
- (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment)
- Editor of Architectural Review
- Former Editor of the Architects’ Journal from 1994 to 1999
Registration: Fiona Mckay chapterexecutive@aiauk.org
