When: Saturday, 22nd; 10am-3pm
Where: Laburnum Street, E2 8BA, London

Bridge Academy rethinks the idea of the school as a piece of urban design integrated into the city fabric.

Conceived as a piece of architectural origami, the design displaces ground upwards taking advantage of magnificent roof-spaces for performance, learning and play.
