Architecture for kids podcast with Dr Hiral Patel Lecturer in Architecture & Director of Engagement at Welsh School of Architecture Cardiff University

Architecture for kids

The natural and built environment offers an incredible learning environment to young people. By immersing themselves in their neighbourhood, they can understand complex challenges, articulate creative responses and build capabilities to actively engage in shaping their environments. The Architecture for Kids podcast series champions this idea, which is also at the core of the engagement strategy at the Welsh School of Architecture. The podcast series will be a valuable resource for academics, school teachers, parents, local authorities and community groups in the context of the new Curriculum for Wales. Most importantly, I hope this podcast series will enthuse young people to study architecture and design-related subjects and craft their careers in the creative industries.
