W5@Oddyssey

On 4 October, The Big Draw Launch in Northern Ireland, visitors first took inspiration from the modern buildings emerging around W5 and the historic elements that are still evident. They also drew the magnificent cranes of Harland and Wolff, and the Seacat as it glided past.

Inside they explored the 140 fantastic interactive exhibits, drew their favourites with well-known artists and designed new exhibits. EDCO had prizes for the most creative drawings. The building's architect was thrilled to see the atrium she had designed full of people drawing.
