A series of free built environment education resources that can be carried out both at home and in the classroom, without guidance from an architect. Some are inspired by concepts explained in the De-a Arhitectura educational programs, others complement these concepts, and others open new connections with fields related to the built environment. The activities invite children of all ages, both young and old, to discover the neighborhood, city, or village they live in and to delve into fantastic worlds with fairy tale characters. The resources are easy to use, don’t require special equipment, and can be made with materials you find around the house. However, the objectives of each activity can only be achieved if the steps and requirements from the video are carefully followed.

For each new resource we create, we launch the online challenge # DeaArhitecturaAtHome. If you want to join and have your proposal published on the De-a Arhitectura channels, we recommend:

  • to carefully watch the video;
  • to read the authors’ challenge suggestions and make sure you understand what needs to be done;
  • to choose the most successful photos, making sure everything is clearly visible, there’s enough light, and the project is well-framed in the image, with a maximum size of 3MB.
