Teaching resources
The built environment can be used to support the formal school curriculum and make connections between schools, young people and the wider community. Involving children and young people in design decisions about the places in which they live, learn and play can help produce inspiring buildings that are respected, instil a sense of ownership and community and are fit for purpose.
The Architecture Centre, Bristol works in partnership with other educational and built environment organisations both locally and nationally to develop resources and deliver projects that increase students’ knowledge and understanding of the built environment, and inspire them to learn more.
