Design Genius Jr.: Adventures in Architecture for Kids introduces kids to the design challenges faced by architects today, including choosing materials, designing for diverse users, and considering the environment.
Offering a world of possibilities for learning math, engineering, history, social studies, planning, geography, art, and design, this rich educational resource includes hands-on projects that allow kids to experiment, design, build, succeed, fail, and try again.
Children will draw upon many fields of knowledge and sharpen a variety of skills, including observation and communication, as they:
- Complete building challenges with corrugated cardboard and geodesic forms.
- Look at how designers have solved impossible problems of gravity and space with creations such as suspension bridges, the Loretto helix staircase, and Brunelleschi’s dome.
- Explore how materials can be used in interesting ways—how paper can go from flimsy to structural, for instance.
- Participate in family game playing: client and design team—finding creative ways to meet a client’s wish list. Use games to test strength, balance, and structure.
- Engage in pure imaginative archi-doodling.
- Explain the why. Why did styles evolve as they did? What technology was available when?
