The project took place in the local [arts center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolves-lane-centre) -- Artsdepot. First, participants were asked to explore spatial relationships and the notions of identity and meaning on a piece of paper that later were hand-modeled into prototypes. Each design was then digitally transcribed with a 3D computer modeling software and transferred into the [CNC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundlink-plus) modeled molds. The little architects used papercrete for the construction of the bricks. 140 students between the ages of eight and 14 participated in the building of the [interactive storytelling igloos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intermittent-dome) and developed core technical and creative skills. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Learning:** Using interactive storytelling to engage and educate young people about architecture and design. - **Spatial Relationships:** Exploring the concept of spatial relationships in the context of architectural design through hands-on activities. - **Digital Modeling:** Utilizing 3D computer modeling software to digitally transcribe and visualize architectural designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education:** Integrating interactive storytelling techniques in educational settings to enhance learning experiences and foster creative thinking. - **Architecture:** Engaging young people in architecture and design through hands-on activities to inspire the next generation of architects and designers. - **Software Development:** Developing innovative computer modeling software to facilitate digital design and visualization in the field of architecture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Children-Collaborative Design Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflect-pavilion.md) - [Children's Story-Inspired Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/western-academy.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [Dome-Style School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-fanar.md) - [Children-Designed Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hi-ladders-high.md) - [Self-Building Igloo Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inland-iglu.md) - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Puzzle-Inspired Italian Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noahs-ark-nursery.md) - [Town-Like Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindergarten-of-museum.md)
