Have you ever wondered how ships navigate a trip into shore? At night, when boats are nearing a rocky shore or another ship, our lighthouses serve as a traffic light among the waves. During the day, we can admire the beauty of lighthouses that are all unique. What will your lighthouse look like?

Designed with younger children in mind (ages 5-10), our family workshops encourage children and their caregivers to explore architecture through hands-on activities each month. Workshops start off with an exploration of exciting examples of architecture from around the world and activities that highlight the design process.  Then, the kids are off – designing and building their own structures in a whirlwind two-hour workshop that culminates in a group presentation. 

When there is not a lot of space, it sometimes requires us to build up. Buildings are just one way to do that.  If you could design a fantasy-themed skyscraper or structure, what would you build? How tall would it be, what materials would you use, and what type of activities or things could you do inside?
