We will work with drawing and photography to consider how using different perspectives or viewpoints influence how the built environment is documented, represented and understood. Participants will be introduced to the technical aspects of perspective in both media before applying what we have learned to record and frame different points of views throughout 66 Portland Place, the home of the RIBA.
We will end the day by projecting and combining what we have discovered to create experimental, multi-perspective and large-scale collages that represent the building differently, and bring new ideas about what it – or architecture in general – could look, feel and be like in the future.
This workshop can be used as a creative starting point for methods to explore architecture and build a portfolio. It will be led by artist educator Marianne Holm Hansen.
