ArchiDo

Archido is an architectural educational organisation, that creates learning through doing workshops for children so they can experience the wonder of architecture. Way back in the 90's, three aspiring architects arrived at Nottingham University, pencils sharpened and set squares poised, ready to share their creativity and ideas with the world. Working together in the studio, day and night (a lot o

f nights !!) sketching, modelling and debating designs, they experience the wonderment of Architecture. Fast Forward 20's years, we are still great friends but are also now experienced architects and mothers and want to combine our two loves... architecture and children !! Between us we have a fair few buildings tucked under our belts and yet we are definitely still bursting with ideas. We feel passionate about creating opportunities for children to share the same wonder we experienced about architecture and the buildings around them and this is what Archido is all about. They allow children to explore architecture and their environment though experimenting with all sorts of materials and techniques. We are not trying to teach children how to become architects, but we inspire them to be inquisitive about their surroundings, promote observation and foster a culture that encourages everyone to contribute to their environment.
