Exhibition

Unique among architecture schools, our student society is fully responsible for the Cambridge exhibition: from fund-raising and venue scouting, to designing, moving, building, and partying — our student members do it all. The show presents projects from all courses at the school and has been regularly reviewed in the Architect’s Journal, and Dezeen.

Exhibition ‘24:

Hello, House.

'Hello, House' at Kettle's Yard ran from the 4th to the 7th of July 2024 - a body of work presented by ARCSOC, the University of Cambridge Architecture Society. The opening night saw over 400 guests and was a massive celebration of all the students of this Department! 

The show was made from foraged material, timber from skips around Cambridge, scraps and treasure. All the furnitures of the show were built by the students themselves, one week after submission of their final exam. 

This exhibition hoped to speak to the culture of founders Jim and Helen Ede and the continuing ethos of Kettle’s Yard — inviting the curious into the private. ARCSOC celebrated the architecture students of Scroope Terrace — their models, drawings, and the mundane, but beautiful moments of sharing a studio. ARCSOC celebrated the in-between; the laughter, the joy, the tears. 

Exhibition 2024 was carefully organised and built by:
