For children aged 11-14 years.
About the event
Join us for this creative architectural workshop and discover the practical principles around stability and balance in architecture through fun design and model making tasks. Participants will learn about earthquake-resistant design principles, through hands-on activities.
We will learn about architectural drawings, design and build model structures, and test our creations on shake tables to simulate earthquakes. The workshop aims to foster creativity, teamwork, and an understanding of the importance of designing structures that can withstand seismic events.
This creative architecture workshop for children aged 11 to 14 will be run by architect and educator, Serwan Saleme.
About the workshop series
The Design Time (previously Design Day) workshops for ages 11-14 take architectural design a step further by providing context and knowledge of the built environment to spark creativity. Past workshops have focused on different architectural styles, small and large-scale construction methods, traditional and digital drawing techniques, architectural games, and using software to design collaboratively in a shared space.
