Public Workshop Helps Children + Designers Build Amazing Structures In Chicago’s Grant Park.

73 designers and children designing, learning and building intently together.

3 fantastic Newhouse/ Taliesin Fellows helping facilitate.

Fabulous collaboration, support and organizing by Krisann Rehbein, Raul, Jean and the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

9 structures in three hours.

A ridiculous amount of pine, 4000 zip ties and sandwiches.

1 fantastic Grant Park.

And 1 Intuitive Building Process that turns designers, teachers and students in ‘do-ers’.
