For children aged 7-10 years.
About the event
Shine like a star in the world of architecture.
What - and where - are the world's most famous buildings and who are the architects who created them? What do they look like and what inspired the architects and engineers to design and build them?
In this fun and creative workshop we will explore the most famous and iconic buildings from around the world; spending some time learning fun facts about them and discussing the stories and ideas that helped to inspire and create them. We will then construct our own large scale 3D versions of the buildings to decorate and play with.
Participants will come away from the workshop with lots of learning around architecture, architects, and architectural history that will inform and inspire their own work, while also brushing up on 3D model making skills and techniques.
This creative architecture workshop for children aged 7 to 10 will be run by artist educator Katie Kennedy.
About the Workshop Series
For ages 7-10, our Design Quest workshops inspire younger children to use their imagination and hands-on creativity for a fun introduction to architecture. Previous workshops have seen participants create optical illusions, design sustainable dens, build stage sets, develop an animated story around a public space or assemble a house for a mouse.
Based in London, mainly at 66 Portland Place, all participants must arrive by 11am. These workshops are led by professional educators and all materials are included in the ticket price, but lunch is not provided.
