YOUNG ARCHITECTS: Dubai Architecture
We are inviting Young Architects for workshops about architectural Dubai landmarks, their creators and interesting stories behind each Project.
Our classes will introduce the Architectural environment to children through understanding of design-and-build concepts, its impact on cities and people’s life and help children to improve their observability, attention to details and analytical skills.
Session will consist of two parts: theoretical and practical; where firstly, young architects will be introduced to the history of the emblematic buildings design concept, analyze selected shapes, colours, and project’s features.
This will be followed by the practical part of the session, where young Architects will build their own Project, which is very hands-on and loads of fun! Children will step into creative process of model making from various materials and will practice their Project’s’ presentation skills as Young Architects!
