Both for them are the parents of the child, but also - and not least - for other children and adults who come from the outside and experience a high-level presentation.

3. Architecture workshop: By Amok – Byg Amok, Børnekulturhuset i Aarhus Architecture is much more than building, designing and decorating. It’s also about creating an awareness of the world that surrounds us. The buildings, which we pass every day, and the houses we live in are such a natural part of our daily life that we hardly notice how they affect our lives.
