To launch our first collaboration with Celebrating Architecture, the AF is screening the premiere of a new short documentary, 'Architecture for All', followed by a panel discussion. The evening marks the start of a programme of workshops, organised by Celebrating Architecture, with pupils from London schools intended to demonstrate the potential of creative learning in the classroom and the opportunities of a career in design.
The film, produced by The Architecture Foundation in collaboration with the Royal College of Art, Celebrating Architecture, Urban Learners and the Mayor of London, follows Neil Pinder, an innovative black year 9 teacher from south London who is transforming the design industry by teaching architecture in secondary schools. Through interviews with Pinder, his students, alumni and experts in education and architecture, the film navigates through issues surrounding access to the British creative sector.
Following the film, the AF will be hosting a panel discussion where speakers will reflect on their own experiences as students, teachers and practitioners within both education and the UK creative sector
