Take-Away Workshop

As a way to get a little of our programme to children who do not have the opportunity to visit us, we designed this model of workshops that take place at home.
At specific times during our programme, we provide material and instruction kits with proposed activities to explore at home with the help of the family, or at school with the help of teachers. They can also be the perfect gift to give to friends or be used on an afternoon of games when children get together.

Look for these kits at the Casa Shop or contact the ES team to find out more via email educativo@casadaarquitectura.pt.

Expanded House

The world is constantly changing and the demands it presents to us vary. If, on the one hand, we are all faced with the speed with which it can make us change routines, behaviours, habits, on the other hand, we have also come to understand the liberating potential that new technologies have brought. Through them, we overcome physical obstacles and reach opposite places in the world in moments, communicate globally, see, talk and share encounter experiences through screens and audio. The year 2020 reminded us of the importance of getting closer, of keeping in touch, and showed us how simple and rewarding it can be.
In a desire to overcome the physical barriers of Casa da Arquitectura towards everyone who wants to develop activities with us, the CA ES presents the Expanded House project. It organizes a set of proposals that seek to broaden CA's field of action, bringing a wide range of activities to everyone, everywhere and in different ways. This project adapts to the needs of each school/association/institution and proposes the development of visits and workshops either through online mediation, or in person in schools/institutions, or even by training educators/teachers and parents to guide the activities supported.
