Publisher's Synopsis
Little Bricks Big Ideas is a step-by-step instructional curriculum designed to teach the value of architecture and urban design to future generations.
This book offers a curriculum geared toward elementary-age children, aimed at introducing them to the collaborative process behind building and neighborhood design.
Each section includes a hands-on activity, materials list, teacher guide, and student questionnaire. The activities build on one another as kids move through the stages of design-from ideation and planning to construction and presentation.
Each project is interactive and adaptable to any neighborhood or urban/suburban environment. We ❤️ Chicago, and many aspects of the book are inspired by our home city.
