AATE Festival continues this weekend with a series of workshops focusing on the realities of architecture in Galway City in use and the far-reaching consequences that the built environment has on our lives.
This Saturday (October 8 ), Streetscape Studies, led by plattenbaustudio, invites the public to actively join in a large-scale group drawing exercise in which we take on the centre of Galway city as our subject matter.
Together they will use architectural sketching, mapping and field notes to study and observe the city through a wide range of lens, from the physical to the ephemeral.
Field notes and photogrphy will be used to record the situation on the ground, while also using a massive group drawing back at its base in the Mick Lally Theatre to input and grow the information they gather.
At the end of the day, they hope to have created a large-scale group drawing that is part-survey, part-dreams, encouraging everyone share their observations on the city today, as well as their wishes for the city of tomorrow.
Unleash your creativity through studies in composition together with Islander Architects in ‘Shaping Galway’ on Sunday in a free interactive workshop exploring the tools of spatial organisation through abstract compositions.
Learn how future developments are controlled through land use zoning objectives and explore the value in community-led approaches to piece together your vision of the city. AATE invite you to make a case for the characteristics of the city that need to be protected and cared for.
Drop by The Mick Lally Theatre and join them. They will provide all drawing materials, just bring yourself.
