MoreKids + Families

Join educators from the Center for Architecture Foundation for a free hands-on workshop in honor of Helsinki’s designation as the World Design Capital in 2012. Families will learn how the design of our neighborhoods, streets, and buildings can be used to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle.

Working as a design team, families redesign a city block to create a space where activities such as walking, biking, outdoor play, and using public transportation are encouraged.
