Your Legacy Build Classroom Workshop: Park Primary School

About this record

As part of Atomik Architecture working with local schools, Kimberley, Sandhya and Jenny visited Park Primary School to work with the Year 5 classes.

Pupils at Park Primary School learn about the legacy of the Olympics in London


Kim, Sandhya and Jenny from Atomik Architecture went into Park Primary School to run a workshop talking about the role of an architect and the historic built environment of Newham. Using a mixture of models, maps and images they discussed the legacy of the Olympics in London before challenging the Year 5 pupils to act as an architect with a task to sketch out a design for their own intervention for the Olympic Park today.

“A well organised and reflective session which open the eyes and minds of the children to the possibilities of architecture.”
