Abstract

The current article presents education and creativity developing benefits of non-formal architecture activities for children and young people. The research is based on some wonderful experiences within an educational project that the author of the article has started over the last years. "The city with colorful windows" comprises educational activities for the quality of the built environment within the school program “Different School” (”Școala Altfel”). Experiencing the architectural spaces together with manufacturing models and artworks provide participants at these educational projects with a creative understanding of the built environment. Concurrently, they discover the valuable and rich in meanings architecture of their home city enhancing their sense of identity and sharing common values over generations. Heritage awareness of the young public together with acquiring the basics of architecture in school contributes to forming a creative and responsible generation capable to mold a quality living environment, with harmonious relations between old and new urban segments.
