Building Connections 2014 is the Center for Architecture Foundation’s annual exhibition of K – 12 student design work from our Learning By Design:NY in-school residencies and Programs@theCenter vacation studios. The exhibition highlights our design education methods and program themes and celebrates the creativity of our students, design educators and partner teachers through a dynamic display of drawings and models. It is a valuable resource for educators interested in integrating design into their own classrooms.
The Center for Architecture Foundation (CFAF) works with thousands of young people each year to explore architecture and design and their impact on our daily lives. We use the interdisciplinary study of architecture to enrich student learning across the K – 12 curriculum and strengthen problem-solving and creative thinking skills. Our hands-on, project-based programs provide real world applications for core subject content, extending learning beyond the walls of the classroom into students’ own communities and to other places near and far. As we enter our third decade of built environment education, CFAF continues to provide young New Yorkers with high-quality design programs that will not only open their eyes to the world around them, but also equip them to envision its future.
