Mr John Andrews

Creche X 3 Project

The Creche X 3 Project involved second-year Architecture Design Studio students, under the leadership of John Andrews, designing a portable, multifunctional building for a crèche, exploring economic construction technologies towards dignified architecture for a needing community and replacing a dilapidated shack.  This project was a quest to be of service to society through the University’s core business of teaching and learning, research and engagement on many levels. 

Design/build is about deconstructing privileges and allowing the by-product of an authentic learning experience to contribute tangibly to society.
