Sarah Guppy: The Bridge, The Bed, The Truth

showofstrength.org.uk

‘Sarah Guppy: The Bridge, The Bed, The Truth’ is a play written by Sheila Hannon about the extraordinary and often-overlooked engineer Sarah Guppy. Guppy patented a bridge in 1811 and ‘exercise bed’ in 1831, and was possibly the first woman to formally design and patent a bridge, yet her achievements have been largely been marginalised, patronised and denied the recognition they deserve. Hannon’s play hopes to give Guppy the recognition she deserves, choosing 2018 – the Year of Engineering and the centenary of Women’s Suffrage – as the year to set the record straight.

Pupils call the shots in Artsdepot design project

artsdepot.co.uk

Artsdepot delivered an architecture and design project throughout Autumn 2018 in Barnet, North London, aimed at inspiring disadvantaged children and young people and enriching their school environment.

They situated the architecture practice NEON in five Barnet schools and invited pupils to consider the built environment and the design process that supports the creation of our public spaces and environments.

Each school had a budget of £1,000 to spend on capital improvements, and NEON architects took the pupils through a design process where they generated and chose ideas to make practical and aesthetic improvements to their school.
