Northampton has a rich history in the shoe making industry and is currently embarking on a large scale masterplan of redevelopment and regeneration. This event led by the Northamptonshire Society of Architects worked with these themes encouraging children to think about their town, and how it could look in the future. Architects from local practices were on hand to help develop ideas into physical models using shoe boxes and a variety of materials. 

Thanks to members who volunteered: Tom Jagger and Will Assheton of GSS architects, Will Elsigood and Ruth Stevenson of pHp architects, Adam Smith of Scroxton and Partners, Madeleine Adams of studioMA and Mike Baulcombe from the RIBA East Midlands team.
