The free event celebrates the openness and diversity of the University of Westminster’s Architecture and Design students and includes an extensive range of creative student work from first year to graduation. Its projects explore architecture at all scales, from door-handles to territories. OPEN 2020 exhibits all manner of hand and digital drawings, models, films and prototypes in a virtual setting.
It will feature the works of more than 750 students, drawing on the vast body of developmental and finished work imagined and realised over the course of the last academic year. The show will transform student work into digital assets, creating an extraordinary display of new architecture and a compelling visitor experience.
