Sweet Architecture Workshop
In this workshop, the idea is to provide knowledge about structures and architecture in a fun way. Since architecture is a spatial form of art, it is crucial to study it three-dimensionally, and involving all the senses in the learning process. One of the famous 3D working methods for studying structures in architecture is a concept called Sweet Architecture. It has been proven to be very effective in learning to understand the structures of buildings.

In Arkki’s Sweet Architecture workshop, participants can make structural discoveries by themselves and learn by experimenting, instead of being given ready-made answers. In architecture and design there rarely are “right” answers, but instead dozens of possible solutions to each given design task. This workshop Can be run for a flexible duration, from 90 minutes to a full weekend non-stop come-and-go session. The workshops are well suited also as birthday party activities or as mega workshops in different events.

In this workshop the participants get to play architects and city planners, and design and build together their own version of the future city. The participants explore different urban planning topics like urban spaces, urban activities, services, public buildings, housing, recreational areas, public and private space, character of the environment, transportation and accessibility.

Each participant builds their own addition to the city, which together form the city as a whole. The contribution made by each member of the team is an individual, but essential, part of the whole.

The workshop includes an inspirational lecture introducing various town plans through the ages, urban spaces and urban activities, as well as building traditions and regulations.

Sweet City workshop charms the participants at first sight and offers a delicious practice to learn about the elements of city planning and good environment. Learning can hardly be more fun and tasty!

In the workshop the participants get to play architects and city planners, and design and build their own village from tasty materials such as biscuits, waffles and sweets. This workshop utilizes hands‑on learning, using different senses, experimentation and 3D model building methods, as well as team work and discussions.

The workshop includes an inspirational lecture introducing a compact history of town planning, different elements in the city, contemporary high‑ rise buildings and urban planning.
