In 2001 Dulwich Picture Gallery (DPG) commissioned a series of hands-on educational resources for its new architecture programme. Six three dimensional teaching aids were designed by Polly Hudson in consultation with the DPG’s education department and volunteer teaching team, and built by Richard Tremlett. These explored construction principles and techniques, the mathematics of buildings, the geography of the area and the history of the gallery’s development.

The resources were launched by Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, in June 2002.
