Open Studio | Formation Architects
How It Works
An Open Studio typically involves an introductory presentation by our host practice and meeting the team members and mentors who will be providing feedback to you on your applications.
Participants will be split into small groups to ask specific questions about their CVs and portfolios as well as engage with their peers.
We require attendees to bring physical portfolios for richer discussions. Each person will receive feedback for up to 15 minutes.
