This year's theme for the Leeds Heritage Open Days was 'Architecture', exploring how we have designed and built the world around us. Our CTEC Interior Architecture students at Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College were set the challenge of re-imagining the front entrance to the 19th century college building using influence from an architectural style of their choice. Through detailed design research they identified and applied key characteristics associated with their chosen movement to be reflected in a final three-dimensional model.
Styles included -
- Art Nouveau
- Art Deco
- Gothic
- Renaissance
- Zoomorphic
- Sustainable
- Hi Tech
- Brutalist
- Post Modern
- Baroque
- Byzantine
- Romanesque
- Modernist
- Deconstructivist
The exhibition was open to the public for 3 days across last weekend at Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills, a historic museum that tells the history of manufacturing in Leeds, including textiles, printing, film and engineering.
