Archikidz is a great workshop, a celebration that aims to bring a younger audience into the world of architecture in an educational, fun and creative way. Each participating child will build a model within the theme chosen for the event, while always being able to rely on the guidance provided by the volunteers, architects and other professionals of the arts and built environment. The idea for this workshop has its origins in Amsterdam. Robert Mulder, its creator, first called the workshop "...

 

This workshop has since been replicated in many cities around the world, including Rotterdam, Bergen, Buenos Aires, Sidney, Barcelona and Lisbon (2014).

In its first edition in Lisbon, which took place on March 23rd 2014, in the 'Torreão Poente' of the Terreiro do Paço, Archikidz welcomed approximately 180 children, in an afternoon full of fun and creative ways of thinking about architecture and urban rehabilitation.

This year, Archikidz Lisbon will take place on April 19th (Sunday), between 3pm and 6pm, in another symbolic space in Lisbon, the magnificent 'Portugal Hall' in the Geography Society of Lisbon. Archikidz Lisboa 2015 has been designed for 250 children, between the ages of 5 to 12 years old. During the three hours of the workshop, the participants will awaken and become further acquainted with concepts relating to the space that they inhabit and that surrounds them.

About the author

Archikidz Lisbon is organised - in partnership with 'Semana da Reabilitação Urbana' (Urban Rehabilitation Week) - by 6 architects: Renata Guedes, Judit Taberna, Mónica Cruz, Paula Rainha, Raquel Albino and Guida Ramos. Two of the organisers live in Barcelona, where, after the success of the local Archikidz festival, they were asked to replicate it in Lisbon.

Archikidz Lisbon first took place in 2014, becoming a huge success with its participants, mainly due to the fantastic effort of all the volunteers who joined the organisation in making Archikidz an unforgettable event for everyone involved.

Budget and due dates

Even though this event is completely free for all the participating children, and its organisation and realisation rely solely on the voluntary work of its organisers and monitors, there are various costs inherent to its realisation. The financial help we seek here corresponds to approximately half of the projected costs for this year's event (estimated at 3,200.00€). We are working to secure the remaining financing (1,700.00€) through various sponsors, some of which have already supported last year's event. The costs relate to 4 main areas: preparation of the venue and rental of any additional material, purchase of the material for the models, catering - all children will be given an afternoon snack during the event, and logistics associated with the preparation and realisation of the workshop. Of these 4 areas, we consider to be absolutely essential to guarantee the purchase of the arts and crafts material for the models and the supply of an afternoon snack to all children involved. We intend to do a short crowdfunding campaing of 30 days or less, and the amount we collect through this campaign will be used in its totality for the event of the 19th of April 2015.
