RESEARCH
Bambini Ovunque Research Presentation in CCB (Belém Cultural Center), Lisboa, 2023
The research was conducted by children aged 9-13 as part of the Architectural Thinking School educational program. Students explored the past and present of street games and then develop their own games. The outcome of the research was the creation of a catalog of new street games titled 'BAMBINI OVUNQUE: Game Collection for Venice Biennale 2024.' These games were played with their designers during the 0+ Happening at the Biennale's pre-opening on April 17-19th.
