A hands-on introduction to architectural thinking

Mark Moreno’s activity book introduces young readers to how buildings are imagined and represented. It combines basic architectural terms and examples from different places and periods with exercises in drawing and planning, including a green roof and a dream bedroom. The activities encourage children to look at spaces from several viewpoints—overhead, inside, and in three dimensions—and to record their own designs on the pages. The result is an introduction that pairs architectural concepts with practical opportunities to sketch, plan, and build a personal portfolio.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 curious about architecture and buildings
  • Young learners who enjoy drawing, design, and hands-on activities
  • Families or educators seeking an activity-based introduction to architecture
