The city is like a giant puzzle, consisting of a million pieces. Streets, houses, squares, parks, trees, even small beetles fit into it. What does your city puzzle consist of today?

The Architecture festival for kids brought together everyone - artists, architects, educators, researchers, - big and small – to reimagine the city, and our everyday living.
