Mini School: Architecture

The Arkki School of Architecture for Children and Youth and City Events Espoo collaborated to create an educational video series suitable for children, youth, and adults. This exploration of architecture consists of three episodes: Human-Scale Spaces, Newspaper Structures, and Green Carton City. The episodes use materials commonly found at home. The activities are guided by Arkki’s experienced teachers.
