Young City Maker’s 2024

Haptic are so pleased to have continued our participation with Open City on their “Young City Makers” programme for another year running! With everything young people face in London and beyond, programmes like this are totally invaluable and being there to celebrate the children and their wonderful work at the new Tower Hamlet’s town hall really epitomised why it’s so important.
Over 3 workshops, we worked with children from Henry Maynard Primary School in Walthamstow drawing interpretive maps, discovering the hidden treasures of King’s Cross and Coal Drop’s Yard and finally, reimagining what local landmarks could have looked like, through the imagined eyes of local artists such as Angry Dan, William Morris and Grayson Perry! Together, we explored the creativity, curiosity, and imagination that architecture sparks at all ages.
Hat’s off to the team at Open City for organising it all s o brilliantly and a thank you to the children for sharing their incredible ideas with us.
