British architecture studio Foster + Partners is publishing a series of architecture challenges, including building a paper skyscraper and creating a city, to keep children in coronavirus lockdown entertained.

Called #architecturefromhome, the initiative was launched by Foster + Partners to help entertain and educate children who are currently stuck at home.

“The recent lockdown has offered us an opportunity to create a number of online initiatives that educate and entertain our online community and support parents and carers with children who may not attending school at the moment,” said Katy Harris, senior partner at Foster + Partners.

“The #architecturefromhome initiative is a chance for all of us to have some fun and learn at the same time,” she told Dezeen.

The tasks released by the studio are designed to encourage children to make, play, draw and think about architecture.

So far the studio has challenged children to build a paper skyscraper and create their own city, as well as learning how to draw trees and create a photo story.

Each of the challenges has been created to encourage children to think more about their surroundings and the buildings around them.

“We have tried to engage children in activities that are practical as well as thought-provoking and that may complement the work they are doing at home-school,” said Harris.
