How do you teach a child architecture? The answer - through utopias, the capacity to imagine something good that does not exist & then create it... Jorge Raedó introduces Osa Menor, his research & practice for the teaching architecture to children & teens. bit.ly/2CPXY0o

Our photograph of the week is from the 'Water Tower' series taken by the German artists Bernd and Hilla Becher who created images which catalogued and documented industrial and architectural structures around Europe and North America.

Our painting of the week: 'The Architect's Dream' by Thomas Cole from 1840! Exemplifies influential styles of architecture including Roman, Egyptian & Greek. The viewer looks out on a vast imaginary landscape that highlights the accomplishments of past civilisations #Romanticism

.Abbey V.S.' project created chill out spaces that made the most of Donegal bay. Student Sophie explains: “Using different materials that I didn’t think would work, but they did and then that challenged our imagination” #architectsinschools #NASItakeover NASI_Ireland

.Coláiste Ghlór na Mara’s project aimed to explore and utilise unused space in their new school building by designing a break-out space. See this and other NASI_Ireland projects at WFoArchitecture on Friday! #architectsinschools #NASI_takeover

The design of an outdoor classroom and P.E. changing rooms and storage were the projects @ColaisteNaMitackled, taking influence from the surrounding area, the sun, heritage and more... They exhibit at NASI_Ireland this Friday in Waterford! #architectsinschools #NASItakeover

The brief for Kinsale Community School / @KCSTechnologySubjec was to create an outdoor learning and social space, allowing them to explore the built environment and to attain a keen eye for community centred architecture. #architectsinschools #NASItakeover

Exploring the school building and general environment through film is the aim of Kishoge CC project! The students explored the affinities between architecture and film through colour, acoustics, pattern, journey and narrative. #architectsinschools #NASItakeover
