BrickLab – Architecture

Travel through history investigating how ancient architectural breakthroughs led to the fundamental design elements we know today. From walls and arches to post-and-lintel building techniques, students use hands-on manipulatives and multi-subject integration to inspect and duplicate design elements from around the globe. After the foundation’s been poured, they utilize the engineering design process to replicate some of history’s most famous designs, then uncover how different societies made stylistic, artful, and structural considerations of construction and architecture.
