Overview
What Adults Don't Know About Architecture
This engaging guide is designed to help children, and their favorite adults, to understand how buildings work and how we might create a better looking world. Few subjects are as ever-present and literally immersive as Architecture.
In modern times, we too often create buildings that are ugly and charmless. Perhaps that's because very few people feel they understand how or why offices, homes and public spaces get constructed the way that they do. This is a chance for the next generation to develop the tools to talk about architecture with confidence and passion. It tells us about what makes a street enticing (or not), why some cities are appealing while others repel us — and how we might build in a way that will delight and inspire us in the future.
