Rimondato has hosted architecture students and creative workshops since 2010. The workshops are co-ordinated by tangentfield and combine live design projects with practical making. The majority of the participants are architecture students from the University of Plymouth and UWE. Students often say of the workshops that they fundamental change the way they understand construction and materials which in turn affects the way they approach design.

2018 Venice Biennale was a change as the workshop was based at the ‘Venice Biennale” creative mark making 3 dimensional expression workshops were mixed with discussion of Biennale architectural content and Venice as a context in a time of climate change and global tourism.
