In September 2002, students of art and design, and design technology in 14 schools and colleges in Birmingham, Derbyshire and London, were invited by Arts Inform and the RIBA to work with leading architectural practices to create their own visual briefs, proposals for public art or development plans for regeneration of local areas. The information here and the teachers' pack below was deisgned to enable schools throughout the country to organise projects, which link school students and architects working on local developments in urban and rural areas.

In 2006 the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and RIBA Trust, in partnership with Arts Inform established a new programme Architects in Residence, funded by CABE.

In 2004, Arts Inform with the RIBA ran a project entitled 'Student Visionaries: Kings Cross as it Might Be' in partnership with the Learning and Skills Development Agency. The project involved students of art and design, fine art, graphics, textiles and photography at City and Islington Sixth Form Centre. Their brief was to develop work of vision and imagination that took as its focus the King’s Cross Development in London. The students’ inspiration and starting point was the touring exhibition Fantasy Architecture, which brought together drawings and digital prints from RIBA collections of unbuilt or imaginary buildings and structures.

In January 2004 the Directors of the Creative Partnership Programmes for London East and London South commissioned Arts Inform to design, manage and evaluate an arts and cultural mentoring programme for teachers in the CP schools in their zones.

In the Summer term 2010 we piloted our first Maths through Architecture projects in two London schools with an exhibition of the resulting work at the RIBA to coincide with Green Day. After an initial evaluation we then rolled out the project in five schools in London and the North West, culminating in an exhibition of student work at the RIBA in May 2011.
