Traces of Making

Exhibition ‘25

26-29 June

Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge.

Traces of Making celebrated 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 explored 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 unfolded in dialogue with the city of Cambridge.

Traces of Making invited you to look at architectural processes within the local context and communities.
