🏛️ What is Architecture?

On June 20, we joined @ncnoma and @diversifyarchitecture at Chapel Hill Public Library for an interactive exploration of architecture with children, parents, and caregivers of all ages. From storytime and coloring activities to LEGO creations, structural building challenges, and designing cityscapes. Throughout the event, families worked together to imagine, create, problem-solve, and explore architecture. At Prism Design Lab, we believe design education should be accessible, engaging, and community-centered. Experiences like these help children build confidence, creativity, and curiosity while strengthening family connections through hands-on learning. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event such a memorable celebration of architecture, imagination, and community. Special thanks to our partners and sponsors: @ncnoma @aianc @DiversifyArchitecture @chapelhillpubliclibrary ✨ The future of design begins with curiosity. #PrismDesignLab #WhatIsArchitecture #ArchitectureForEveryone #DesignEducation #CommunityDesign
