I’m a student at the Cork Centre for Architectural Education. We have our end of year exhibition of student work coming up and we were wondering if we could get a mention on the blog.
To wit:
An event held annually to exhibit the works of UCC/CITs joint architecture course at Cork Centre for Architectural Education. From first to masters year each display represents the ethos and explorations of every student through photography, model making, computer graphics, woordwork, metalwork and hand drawn pieces. The exhibition aims to create a public plaform to involve the community in the works of the students.
