“Ludantia” is coming… architecture, education and creation October 17, 2016 21:08 by ThePrisma
The project will take place in 2018 and an invitation to take part has been issued by a multidisciplinary group which seeks (with the project) to promote and heighten the profile of education in art and architecture throughout the world.

Both the event and invitation to take part are open to schools, architects, professionals involved in education, artists, central/local government and not-for-profit organisations and individuals and groups throughout the world interested in education through the medium of construction. Ludantia’s (which is the name of the “1st Education in Architecture for Children and Youngsters International Biennial”) proposal – the brainchild of Jorge Raedó– is that educational projects, where the creative process is education itself, are implemented throughout the world. Raedó points out that “the quality of the final piece won’t matter too much: instead, it’s the experience of the child or young person that is important.” It could be an actual physical object (a piece of architecture or a drawing..) or a non-physical symbolic work (theatre, cinema..) which inspires the child to think about public spaces. The final event will take place in Pontevedra, Spain in April and May of 2018. In it, the educational projects will be shown, a professional meet held over a few days will take place and there will be education-through-play activities for the city’s schools and families.
