Family Workshop: Re-Create with I. M. Pei

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This workshop is distinctly designed alongside the Special Exhibition I.M. Pei: Life Is Architecture and is one of the first parent-child workshops at the museum focusing on architecture as a theme. Architect Kenrick Wong and his design team invite adults and children to collaborate and explore I. M. Pei’s iconic design concepts through hands-on learning experiences.

The theme of the workshop is the glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Families are encouraged to use modules of different shapes to create architectural models, test imaginative design ideas, and experience I. M. Pei’s creative process through exploring this significant architectural project from his career.

Architecture and design can bring people closer together. Throughout the workshop, adults and children will not only explore architectural elements such as light, space, and geometric shapes but also engage in conceptualising and experimenting with design alongside their family members. Architecture can be a bridge for cross-generational communication and interaction.
