And finally… Fostering a new generation of architects
Architecture practice Foster + Partners has been sharing new activities for children to take part in while staying at home.
The #architecturefromhome series includes drawing, making, playing, thinking, reading, watching and other activities to keep them entertained - for at least a few hours!
