Architecture … children … K-12 design education … teaching …. books …. resources …. lessons …. Welcome to AERC, the Architectural Education Resource Center. Our resources help teachers, community groups and parents engage children and youth in hands-on, real-world, interdisciplinary Architecture and Design projects.

Architecture as Art and History... the Mathematics of Design… the Technology of the Design Process… the Science of Structures… a Sense of Place… City and Community Planning…. In curriculum-based design projects, children and youth communicate their ideas about the places and spaces in their lives, and ultimately about themselves.
