Open-City is London's leading architecture education organisation. They champion the value of well-designed places and spaces in making a liveable and vibrant city, and the role everyone plays within it.
OPEN UP! was a unique programme for secondary schools. Direct experience of contemporary architecture is the starting point for learning, which develops new design skills and awareness of the built environment. Through encounters with practicing architects and designers, pupils unpack design and then apply this experience to curriculum related activities. Open House believes that architecture is a valuable educational resource and empowers both teachers and pupils to take advantage of it.
Through a focus on key contemporary buildings, OPEN UP! enables teachers and their students to use London’s architecture as inspiration within design education and other areas of the curriculum.
The programme is now called 'Archtecture in School'
