Look No Hands!

Be part of a collective 3D drawing where the studio becomes the landscape to design and draw at full scale.


Explore the process of drawing not with your hands but with your whole body, byÌý'mis-using' everyday objects and clothes to create new and strange drawing tools. By the end of the day a set of new tools for architects will be produced, along with a new 3D drawn space to occupy.ÌýThis workshop will be led by Felicity Barbur and Kirsty McMullan in collaboration with The Bakerloos.

The Bakerloos

are an experimental design studio based in London. In 2016 they embarked on a journey, stopping at collective drawing explorations, playful workshop experiments and prize-winning urban folly proposals. Leaving behind the beaten track, rethinking academic conventions, typologies and working methods, they aim to build platforms reconnecting the public to the architectural and urban realm. They encourage participation through new means, leaving the tunnel of architectural norms behind and laying new tracks for the future of urban culture.Ìý
