How can materials be used to propel children’s thinking and imaginations forward? From its origins in shaping sand to shaping a vibrant cityscape, the children and teachers in the Bridges Group explore how, in the words of urban planner James Rojas, “Architects are not just builders but healers,” shaping environments that evolve with and embrace the communities they serve. For over fifteen months this small group explores how children’s rich knowledge of materials sparks meaningful collaboration and co-construction of the “Huge City”, highlighting the power of community-driven urban planning.
