PRIVATE WORKSHOP AT EAST COAST (439943)
OCTOBER 28th, 2024 to OCTOBER 31th 2024
(4 days)
From 9 am to 12pm
SGD $490 inclusive of all materials

Shophouses performed by 7-12 year-old children.

The aim of this workshop is to introduce children to architecture.

In a tutorial-like creative setting, children will find out about architecture in a playful way. I will guide them in their reflections so that they mature their own projects.

The main activity will be the construction of a model of a shophouse transformed into housing space. Many other complementary activities will be proposed to enrich this initiation.

We will focus on the shophouse because it is a landmark in the built-environment and a feature of the Singaporean identity. The combination of the past and the contemporary construction will allow children to understand the new challenges facing architects in terms of heritage. A housing project is a program that children can easily understand and handle.
