How to get children to be more mindful about the environment, to be more aware of the public spaces around us?
How can adults explain unfamiliar concepts such as architecture, consumerism, and sustainable living to children?
The workshop ‘Recycle City’ creatively uses recycling materials and the language of architecture to familiarize participants with the concepts of recycling and sustainability.
From daily items like carton boxes, water bottles, plastic straws, etc. participants will be instructed, through a series of skill sets, to create their own model of a house. In the process, they can wander around questions and answers about material sustainability, human interaction with their natural/manmade environment, and the role of architecture in creating/conserving those spaces.
Attending the workshop, your children will have a chance to:
- Discover the properties of recycled material;
- Apply their own idea into everyday life;
- Be more aware of the design of communal space and the environment from an architecture perspective.
