STEAM DAY

FEBRUARY 2025

Last week, NMLA volunteered in Acland Burghley’s STEAM Day where secondary school students were offered a day of workshops around the subjects of science, technology, engineering, art & maths.  

Anne and Eoghan held two-hour long drawing and model making workshops with Y9 & Y10. Students were asked to brainstorm ideas for how their school environment could be improved and were then encouraged to explore architectural proposals through drawing and modelmaking.  

We thoroughly enjoyed the day and were inspired by the students’ engagement, creative responses, and willingness to learn modelmaking!

MONK, an art magazine who specifically look at exploring creativity, consciousness and spirituality, have done an in-depth interview with Jonathan Ruffer. Jonathan Ruffer is the philanthropist behind the regeneration of Bishop Auckland where we have two of our projects, Auckland Tower and the Scotland Wing. Within the article the author, Sophie Lévy Burton, describes the Scotland Wing as “utterly beautiful – as mindful as architecture can get”. You can view the whole article on their website here.
