Through its cultural project Pensarq_ and in collaboration with Espacio EMA, TAQ Arquitectura has created Mini Arquis at Home, a free online architecture activity for children aged 3 to 9, designed to be completed at home, from any country, at any time. The premise of the activity is to highlight the importance of architecture listening to what children have to say about their spaces, as they also inhabit and claim them as their own; for them, architecture can serve as the framework for their memories, play, and education.
The activity consists of two parts; Mini Arquis can choose to complete one or both. The first part involves creatively answering a short series of questions about their thoughts on their home and how they have felt spending more time in it. The second stage is to build a model of your ideal home. There are no rules; you can use whatever you find at home. The goal is to have fun, recycle materials, and enjoy quality family time while reflecting on how children perceive and experience their homes.
Participants may choose to complete either of the two activities. Supervising adults should document the work through video or photographs—the participant's face does not need to be visible—and email the files to pensarq@taqarquitectura.com to be featured in a gallery of all the Mini Arquis projects. The deadline for participation is May 31, 2020.
The first 20 children to submit their responses will receive a digital copy of the book Pedro Perfecto Arquitecto.
This initiative will be promoted in countries including Spain, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, and others.
