How Places Work is a scheme supported by CABE to encourage young people from across the country to discover and explore exemplar contemporary architecture through a series of visits and tours to venues in their regions.

The scheme is aimed at Key Stage 3 level students and can support many different curriculum areas. The students are given the opportunity to discover the building for themselves and through the eyes of an inspiring character in a guided tour lead by someone who has passion for the building or space.

In the first phase of visits we took three schools to three exciting new buildings around the south. Follow the links below to find out more about each trip.
