Traces of Making
Exhibition ‘25
26-29 June, 11am-5pm
Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge.
Traces of Making celebrates the work of University of Cambridge Architecture 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.

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.
