Exploring SNFCC: Discovering Architecture
For kindergarten, primary school and first grade of middle school students
Students begin their self-guided exploration from the Agora and they wander through different SNFCC areas and the Stavros Niarchos Park before reaching your final destination; the SNFCC Lighthouse.
The count down begins when students open the School Bag: “Discovering Architecture” and reveal the SNFCC map and all useful material for their tour in the SNFCC external premises. It’s time for exploration!
They observe how other visitors interact with the SNFCC, where they go and in which activities they engage with. They do the same for themselves. They start interacting with the place, counting distances, comparing sizes, familiarizing themselves with textures and shapes, and synthesizing their own architectural design, inspired by the SNFCC architecture. They follow different paths in the Stavros Niarchos Park, enhancing their orientation and becoming more aware of the SNFCC location in relation to other landmarks of Athens city. Through self-guided exlporation, active participation, team work and play, they understand the concept of architecture and activate their senses.
