Young Architects 12 - 16 years with special guest Paul Berkemeier

Unleash your creativity and design skills at this exciting workshop with special guest MRAG architect Paul Berkemeier and artist Jen Denzin. This hands-on super-fun workshop allows students to harness their creativity and design potential with Artist Jen Denzin alongside a talented architect student from the University of Newcastle. This is a rare opportunity for young people to learn about the art of architecture and everything that goes into our homes, places and spaces. This special workshop features MRAG architect Paul Berkemeier! Paul and his colleagues at Paul Berkemeier Architect Pty Ltd led the architectural team for the design and construction of the Maitland Regional Art Gallery. They collaborated with architect and heritage specialist Barry McGregor as well as a team of engineering, services, quantity surveying consultants. Brisland Constructions were the head contractor. The project was completed in 2010. Students will learn the basic principles of architecture and then get a chance to build their own project, with all materials supplied. This is a free program proudly supported by NSW Government, Cleverpatch and EJE Architecture.
