  • Open House Families

    Every September, thousands of people learn about architecture and urban design during the Open House; what if we were to do this learning through the eyes of children?

    Open House Families is London’s architecture festival for children. It’s a hands-on and creative experience for children to explore architecture and their city through play. Through workshops and activities hosted by artists and architects, we give families the opportunity to imagine how they can shape their built environment in fun and creative ways.
