CreativeScapes is a project taking place at the University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载? supported by the Creative Campus Initiative. It is designed to involve students? staff? architects? artists? designers? academics and other users in thinking imaginatively about the Highfield campus. This would focus on the concept of a new Creativescape (a building? a space and new landscape) taking the place of Building 38? the centre of Highfield Campus.
This new Creativescape and its surroundings will be designed and imaged as a new hub for interaction? knowledge sharing and creativity within the campus.

Register to participate to our Creative Workshops
The project revolves around three creative workshops. These workshops will include creative practitioners (designers, artists, architects etc.) as well as students, academics and other users of the Highfield campus. The proposals, visions and ideas emerging from the workshops should provide an innovative and creative challenge to the current uses of the space within the campus, suggesting alternative visions and solutions.
