Design Genius Jr.: Adventures in Architecture for Kids introduces
kids to the design challenges faced by architects today, including
choosing materials, designing for diverse users, and considering
the environment. Offering a world of possibilities for learning
math, engineering, history, social studies, planning, geography,
art, and design, this rich educational resource includes hands-on
projects that allow kids to experiment, design, build, succeed,
fail, and try again. Children will draw upon many fields of
knowledge and sharpen a variety of skills, including observation
and communication, as they: Complete building challenges with
corrugated cardboard and geodesic forms. Look at how designers have
solved impossible problems of gravity and space with creations such
as suspension bridges, the Loretto helix staircase, and
Brunelleschi's dome. Explore how materials can be used in
interesting ways-how paper can go from flimsy to structural, for
instance. Participate in family game playing: client and design
team-finding creative ways to meet a client's wish list. Use games
to test strength, balance, and structure. Engage in pure
imaginative archi-doodling. Explain the why. Why did styles evolve
as they did? What technology was available when? Design
thinking-creative problem solving-will be crucial to resolving the
global challenges in business, politics, and the environment facing
the next generation. Each book in the Design Genius Jr. series
teaches kids this important skill through fun, hands-on projects in
a single area of design that challenge them to identify problems,
explore possibilities, test ideas, and then come up with original
solutions.
