Description
Venture out on the special route prepared for families with children in the four cities of OHP’25! With your Architectural Passport in hand, set off to discover buildings full of stories, shapes, colours and textures. On each route, you’ll find suggestions for exploration that invite you to observe carefully and record this journey through architecture in your own way. Look at the materials used in the buildings - is it stone, wood, glass or another material? Feel the surfaces, trace the textures of the floors, observe the details of the façades and roofs. Take measurements with your body, compare heights and widths, count steps, discover patterns, and draw the elements that most catch your eye: windows, doors, roofs, balconies, columns… Along the way, you’ll create your mental map of the journey, full of drawings, notes and discoveries made by you and your family. This record will reflect your unique way of seeing and experiencing architecture. At the end of each visit, don’t forget to look for the volunteer in charge of Activities Mediation - he’ll be waiting to stamp your passport!
