which is basically the AAs workshop in the woods of dorset (an area of outstanding natural beauty- sort of a british national park) and its where students go to build large scale prototypes and use the workshop there and its large cnc machine and charlie the workshops expert and eat excellent vegetarian food for a week.
the maeda workshop is run by Shin an undergraduate tutor and is sponsored by the maeda corporation in japan
this years theme was a continuation of last years work with glass reinforced concrete and fabric formwork; we work for a week in spring and then two weeks in summer to build the final piece.
