Lucy + Jorge Orta lead a two-day workshop on Cloud Architecture. The artist duo describe Cloud Architecture as invented living spaces designed ‘for social interaction that can change according to use, and are built with recycled or sustainable materials.’

At the class we were given a load of materials and told to make models or sculptures or whatever we wanted. The only thing we had to think about was Jorge and Lucy’s Cloud Architecture (which we were given their book on- thanks guys!) and what architecture means to us. Lucy also gave us the example of ‘totipotency’ which roughly means to have unlimited capability, its about one cell that can be multiplied to make more and more until it is a whole organism.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 days with a diverse range of people. Having the opportunity to just experiment with materials freely was refreshing and beneficial. The best part of this…
