Yesterday was a pretty stressful day, running around everywhere and just trying to think about too many things but all in all I reckon the first day went down pretty well. The launch had a tentative start but the day ended well with the debate. From asking opinions of the students who took part is yesterday's activities everybody seemed to have fun but there were mixed reviews on the organisation and length of some of the workshops. Some students have suggested that if the school were to do this event next year, that workshops should be shorter, maybe just last the day, for a quicker, more exciting learning experience. Let's wait for next year and see if the school takes on any of the feedback!
Today is again another action packed day with the Journalism team attempting to cover all workshops going on. This morning I have already interviewed Ted Cullinan. Let's just say I think he is one of the most interesting people I have ever spoken to and could have talked for hours if it wasn't for the planned start of his workshop. In the interviews we are conducting this week we are trying to find out more about the person that makes the architect. We're trying to find out where these amazing architects have come from and what it is that has made them who they are. Ted Cullinan didn't disappoint! From tales of travelling across the Atlantic age 12 on a ship, sailing back to the UK after being evacuated, to dreams of if he did ever retire from architecture that he would become a pig farmer in the Peak district, it was joy to talk to such a great man. I will write up the full interview soon and hopefully it will be posted either on here or in the yearbook but got to get on with some studio work first.
I hope everyone has a great day and is looking forward to the rest of the week.
