Architecture from a child’s perspective: Former mini exhibition for children at DAC

The architect and the yellow cat had left a trail of footprints in our exhibition. You could find the kid’s exhibition by following the architect’s footprints or tracing the yellow paws of the cat on its playful journey to the exhibition.

The mini exhibition Architecture from a child’s perspective drew its content from DAC’s project: ArchitecTOUR in Kindergartens. This project aimed to provide kindergarten children with more architectural experiences and equip their educators with tools for working with architectural education. Both in the kindergarten, on the playground, and during trips out. The goal was to strengthen children’s immediate perception of their surroundings, sharpen their observation of the immediate environment, and support the development of a language to express what they experienced.

You and your children could have the same experience at DAC. You could dive into the project’s five themes: Space, Size, Colors, Materials, and Shapes. All materials were available for families to explore the project. The exhibition was designed for young children, but older children would also be able to benefit from it.

You could also read the book “The Architect and the Yellow Cat” while visiting the mini exhibition. The book’s universe served as the background for both the project and the exhibition. The book was in Danish, so reading it loud, required Danish language skills. You could buy the book in DAC Design Shop.
