Creativity Zone - Centre for Life, Newcastle

 

The existing makers studio within the centre stood large and slightly awkward within its weird and wonderful piece of architecture, looking more house than factory and providing a more school  classroom vibe than a making one.

 

The task to incorporate everything together started with opening up the ground floor of the studio to view ‘making’ in progress and was aided by the creation of a more ‘workshop’ feel. OSB board bench-tables with trestle legs are inscribed with words describing the art of the making and the creative process, these are teamed with functional working stools in matching colours.

 

CREATIVITY ZONE Think Make Create: The Makers Garden

By engaging in a dialogue with our visitor, the landscape outside of the studio hosts freshly redressed interactives, that all require thought and process to want to make things work, these partnered with interpretation totems that also have a making connection not only to the interactives but also the people/area of the North East.
