The Royal Albert Hall x Grimshaw Foundation programme, 'Performance. Architecture. Design.’ (PAD) has won a TET (ThorntonEducationTrust) Inspire Future Generations Award in the Children Long Term Programme category!
The awards recognise organisations working with children and young people, to engage them in advocating for a better built environment, and it’s an honour to be recognised for PAD, which was led with the support of Urban Learners in 2024.
Over six months the programme worked with 160 students, and the Hall's Associate Artists — Rhael 'LionHeart' Cape Hon FRIBA, Anna Lapwood, Jess Gillam, and Corey Baker — to introduce, engage, and immerse engage young people in creative thinking, making and learning and expose them to the opportunities in creative professions. The culmination was a Big Build Day where eight different installations, designed as performance spaces, were constructed at the Royal Albert Hall.
It’s fantastic to be part of these awards that promote the commitment in the industry to closing the gap between architecture and education, encouraging a diversity of thought and inclusion through activity, collaboration and research.
