ARCSOC: Traces of Making
26-29 June, 11am-5pm
Join us for an exhibition of work presented by ARCSOC, the University of Cambridge Architecture Society.
Traces of Making celebrates the work of University of Cambridge Architecture (ARCSOC) students, inviting you into the messy, speculative, and experimental processes of architectural production. From sketchbook drawings to material tests, the display explores architecture as a form of critical inquiry.
The exhibition presents selected works from undergraduate and postgraduate students. The projects span a variety of sizes, media, and themes, from collective housing to urban ecologies.
With installations throughout Kettle’s Yard and around Castle Street, the exhibition unfolds in dialogue with the city of Cambridge. Traces of Making invites you to look at architectural processes within the local context and communities.
About ARCSOC
Unique among architecture schools, ARCSOC is fully responsible for the Cambridge summer exhibition. From fundraising and venue-scouting to designing, moving, building, and curating, student members do it all. In the studio and beyond, they bring people together and make things happen: conversations with architecture’s most exciting and important contemporary voices, cult-favourite club nights with thousands of attendants, experimental 1:1 design with our annual pavilion, a weekly radio show of deep cuts. With over two hundred student members, ARCSOC is a diverse group of young people starting our careers as creative professionals.
