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!

DAYLIGHT TALKS

FEBRUARY 2022

On the 22nd February Níall will be giving a talk titled Circling a Star for the Daylight Talks by  Velux.

The `Daylight Talks´ are targeting students or architecture and younger professionals and they are exploring the significance of natural light in architecture. The talks present exciting and prominent architects and educators working consciously and qualitatively with daylight in their projects and educational programs; what has inspired? how has spaces been planned with light to inhabit and cherish? the important learnings? and what is the advice to students and younger professionals?
