Promoting Sustainable Architecture in schools

Brady Mallalieu specialise in bringing architecture and the built environment into schools and promoting architecture as a carrer and an understanding of contemporary architecture to the public.

In June 2007 Angela Brady of Brady Mallalieu took part in the Artsinform/RIBA "Greening London" competition with Crown Woods School in Greenwich (with Lee Ainsworth technolgy teacher). The project with 15 year old girls and boys was an Eco friendly Mad-ZED (Music and Dance) Zero Energy Design. This was a five week project which included a workshop with Emma Tutton of The Building Exploratory in Hackney and finished with an exhibition and presentation at the RIBA during Architetcure Week. The pupils from the 14 schools voted the "MadZED" as one of their favourite projects. The model was "outstanding" and the pupils were inspired about alternative energy and sustainable architectural design. Brady Mallalieu were awarded a Business Award by Greenwich Education Business partnership for this project.

As part of the London Biennale celebration in Architecture Week in June 06 Angela Brady of Brady Mallalieu created and ran a creative design project with Price & Myers Consulting Engineers including workshops at The Building Exploratory Hackney called "Model Imagination - Designs for Sky Living" with 14 year olds from Haggerston girls school in Hackney. The pupils designed and made models and then Cadventure Ltd. made professional paste models of the 4 designs which were on exhibition in St Martins Church in Clerkenwell as part of the London Bienalle Exhibition.

Angela Brady is a STEMnet Ambassador (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics network) and runs workshops at Westminster University promoting architecture as a career. She also gives talks in schools on contemporary architecture every Architecture Week. (2000-2007).

In July 2005/6/7 Angela ran a workshops at St Joan of Arc Primary school and in 2007 the 9 year old pupils designed a multipurpose outdoor class room or 'Circle of friendship' space for their playground. This will hopefully traslate into a real project which is currently seeking sponsorship.
