The Room Project is an architectural exhibition space created by Newcastle architecture students. For the first show Hunting Grounds 10,000 pieces of timber went into making the floor and there were still cutting timber right up to the 6pm opening.

Hunting grounds, opened on the 21st of February is the first of a series of large scale architecture exhibitions at The Room Project in the centre of Newcastle, as a part of the Renew Newcastle initiative.

Conceived by Kim Bridgland, hunting grounds is an installation of ten thousand small lengths of construction timber packed together into an undulating floor to create an immersive and tactile experience of space.
