The WORKSHOPS AT SCHOOLS project can be developed in two different models: through the teachers, who receive information and content and implement the activity, or through the presence of a member of the Casa da Arquitectura’s team in the classroom. Through a 100% virtual presence, or in person, the objective is that they carry out activities in a safe and stimulating way, keeping students active and contributing to their curiosity and experience.
Each school must participate with a minimum of two classes.
1- Through the Teachers in the classroom:
This modality provides a training period in which the teachers of the classes involved receive instructions, content and materials necessary for the development of the workshop. This moment will last approximately one hour and can take place at the school or at Casa da Arquitectura.
The guidance of the activity in class will be the responsibility of the Professor with the possibility of support from the Casa da Arquitectura ES team by video call.
2- Through the CA ES team in the classroom:
In this option, the educators from the CA ES go to the school and develop a workshop in a room that lasts about 2 hours. For this activity to take place, the teacher will receive in advance the list of materials needed for the activity (some will be provided by CA, other are of routine use in schools) in order to ensure that we have everything necessary in the classroom.
In both cases, we suggest that the final results obtained by the students be kept and exposed to the school community. The team from the CA ES is available to collaborate in the installation of the physical exhibition in a common area of the school, but also to help in the editing of a slideshow for the virtual sharing of results, in case the physical exhibition cannot take place.
SPACE INVENTORS
This workshop is developed taking the school as an object of study. How do architects imagine school? Can we understand their plan? Using words, lines, numbers, drawings and colours, we are going to make a new school project capable of reinventing the entire space with a lot of imagination! Did we move walls, add rooms, tunnels, giant windows? Let's think about form/function, jump from 2D to 3D and look for the ideal school.
Recommended public: 1º/2º/ 3º cycles
IMAGINE THE IMPOSSIBLE
Inspired by Buckminster Fuller, Yona Friedman and the Archigram group, we will build images capable of thinking about a new idea of architecture. How to think of a city for the future? Can architecture play an active role in defending and preserving the planet? In this workshop, we are going to ignore all the rules and imagine what does not exist, the impossible, the ideal, the dream. With photomontages and drawings, the challenge is to imagine a new world, defining what is, after all, fundamental.
