In these sessions we’re going to talk about the ways humans live and build on the planet Earth. Because our actions are driving climate change, we must take immediate action to re-imagine our building designs, construction, and energy use so that everyone on the planet is able to live safely.

Here’s where architects play an important role, and where children can help, too! Architecture Playshop is a series of workshops for children that introduce key language and concepts concerning building design, construction, and climate change. Throughout the playshops, participants will learn, dream, and do to move towards climate action.

In Session One, we'll explore how city spaces are put together, and how we can use clean energy, dense design, and weather-friendly building to mitigate and manage climate change.

Session Two will investigate how we can use local, sustainable materials when we build to support the health of the Earth.

In Session Three, we'll examine the planet’s rising water levels and imagine how we can build better cities to deal with surging seas.

Session Four will address climate migrants, and examine the kinds of quick and safe housing we can build for people on the move.
