Grimshaw held a three-day workshop at their London studio as part of the Accelerate 2024 programme, welcoming a cohort of seven talented A-level students.
Building upon the success of previous years, this year's workshop, spearheaded by Grimshaw mentors Emily Chooi, Thorin Costain, Claire Greenland, Tom Durham, Rebecca Kelly, Helen Wright-Zhang, and Quincy Lo, with support from Matt Sawyer, was crafted around the theme of 'The Daily Ritual'.
Through a series of engaging activities spanning the three days, students were encouraged to explore their interpretations of the brief, developing a diverse array of conceptual and design ideas.
"Fantastic to see the calibre of talent, creativity, and determination demonstrated by this year's cohort of Accelerate students. Beyond the creative endeavours, mentorship sessions delved into discussions about prospects and the pathways available within architectural and creative professions."
Matt Sawyer, Associate at Grimshaw
