Project 1 - What is a city? Student notions of space and place

Students exhibited a series of maquettes that represented particular cities from around the world in abstract forms. Students were asked to select a photo, image, drawing, object or other feature that represents a city and then incorporate this into a maquette with strict volumetric dimensions of: 700 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. The maquette was required to fit on a 1.2 m plinth, and include 800 words of text explaining the nature of the maquette. Some maquettes evoke the sounds, smell, lights and flavours of cities. Others play on the architectural forms and spaces of cities.

See whether you can identify the city that each maquette represents...
