“¿What is Architecture?” makes Architecture accessible to children and awakens their curiosity about their environment in terms of space, tectonics and urban design.

The project revolves round the videos in which architects reply to the question “¿What is Architecture?” The first videos are designed for children aged 5 to 8 years. At this age language is used as a tool to relate with the world and later permits abstraction. The architects have made a special effort to communicate with their young public. Their personal concept of Architecture is at the heart of each proposal.

Teaching workshops are designed to ensure successful contact between the project and the children. With the collaboration of our educational advisors, we research mechanisms to make the project an accessible and useful teaching tool for educational centres.

One-off events take place through contact-relation with institutions, organisations or, simply, just for fun. Each event is an excuse to create an original experience for children with Architecture.
