Apply these skills to temporary structures and installations including theatres and exhibitions and discover how to think laterally, make connections and take inspiration from art, film, science, sociology. Learn from industry-experienced tutors and work on a series of live briefs for property developers, management consultants, community charities and cultural institution. Our students have completed work for the Arnolfini centre for contemporary art and Ernst & Young, and made proposals for the redevelopment of a former television studio.
