| Abstract | A Year 6 class from St. Mary's RC Primary School, Ipswich visits the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. A former RAF fighter station, Duxford now houses Europe's premier museum of aircraft and aviation history. But the class is there not so much to look at the historic aircraft as to study the buildings that contain them. The pupils learn how designing an aircraft hangar presents an unusual set of architectural challenges. They look at how differing solutions were developed over the course of the 20th century. They then have the chance to put their own ideas into practice by building scale models. Back at school, they continue to think about triangular shapes as constructional elements. Architect and broadcaster Maxwell Hutchinson adds his thoughts on the importance of structure in architecture. |
