This one-day workshop invites you to be part of a large-scale collective model-making exercise with the city centre streets as our focus. We will begin the day with a short talk about architectural drawing and model-making, after which we kick off the workshop with two rounds of urban sketching and modelling. No prior model-making experience necessary, we will use a system of templates and cut-outs to draw and piece together a 3D map of the city. You are invited to use the blank templates to call up fragments of the city as you once knew them, the city as observed today, and the city we dream of for the future- all of which will slot together to form one large-scale collective model of an alternative Galway. We will provide all materials, just bring yourself.
