Architecture Through Feelings
The "Architecture Through Feelings" workshop introduces children to environmental psychology, exploring how space influences emotions, consciousness, and perception. Through tactile exploration of materials, participants will feel architecture before they create it. By discovering how textures shape experiences, children will transform their impressions into a unique 3D house project, turning sensory exploration into intentional design.
