Versailles, France

"What if colors could change the temperature? What if a house could keep you warm simply because it’s painted red? And if you had to build your shelter in the desert or at the North Pole… which would you choose?"

​​

This sensory workshop invited children aged 6 to 12 to explore the connections between climate, colors, materials, and architecture. Inspired by the Hot Topics exhibition and the themes of BAP 2025 – “4° between you and me” – it encouraged them to imagine habitats adapted to extreme climatic conditions, from the blazing desert to the icy pole.

​

A playful and creative way to understand how climate shapes the way we build.

​

The workshop was held in collaboration with La Maréchalerie, which offers children a full artistic immersion every first Saturday of the month: an age-appropriate guided tour followed by a hands-on workshop linked to the exhibited works or the artists’ creative approach. A special moment to spark curiosity, stimulate reflection, and explore architecture in a new way.
