Model made by a person living with dementia

3D Model

Architectural model of a block of flats, created by a person living with dementia.

Working with Resonate Arts at a Memory Cafe, the RIBA’s collection of architectural images were used to inspire conversation and reminiscences about buildings and places, amongst a group of people living with dementia and their carers. A creative activity followed, where everyone was given the opportunity to use plasticine to model a building that they knew, had meaning for them, imagined or saw in the RIBA’s images. This model, created in 2018, is one of those and is based on a block of flats a participant saw near her home.

This 3D model was scanned by the RIBA’s Learning team, from the plasticine original, using a Matter and Form Desktop 3D Scanner funded by a grant from the London Museum Development Measuring Up Programme.
