The Sorrell Foundation Young Design Centre open at Somerset House

The Centre includes an exciting new interactive exhibition to explore what's next for schools in Britain, and to inspire everyone involved in renewing school environments.

The Foundation's joinedupdesignforschools exhibition describes what happens when you give young people a say in the way their school is designed. 

Over the past seven years, design consultants have worked for pupil client teams on design projects to improve the quality of life in their schools.  The exhibition shows the process, and examples of the common issues that pupils want designers and architects to address.

During the next three years, the Sorrell Foundation's Young Design Centre will present a series of exhibitions and displays, run a workshop programme in the Somerset House Lecture Theatre and Learning Centre, and create a unique archive and research centre to explore pupil voice.
