What Do Architects Do?

Have you ever built a house with blocks? Or made a fort with blankets and pillows?

Then you've already started thinking like an architect!

Architects dream up places for people to live, learn, work, and play. They draw pictures, make plans, and help turn big ideas into real buildings.

And guess what? You can do it too!

PURPOSE — Why?

What are you making? A house? A school? A place to play?

PEOPLE — Who?

Who will use your building? Your family? Your friends? Everyone?

PLACE — Where?

Where will you build it? In a city? In the woods? Maybe on the moon!

IDEAS — What if?

What would make your building special? A slide? A secret room? A giant window?

DESIGN — Draw it!

Grab your crayons or pencils and show us your big idea!

Ready to Draw Something Amazing?

Every great building starts with an idea. Now it's your turn!

What will you create? A giant treehouse? A castle? A house for your pets? Maybe something nobody has ever seen before!

Pick a drawing sheet, grab your crayons or colored pencils, and let your imagination run wild.

There are no wrong ideas. Just have fun!
