Lesson details
Key learning points
- Built environment can create a sense of pride in a community through shared histories or experiences.
- Landmarks and structures can connect us to our communities.
- Architects play with materials to help inspire interesting designs.
Keywords
Built environment - the human-made spaces around us that create our local environment
Landmark - an important place or thing that is recognisable and stands out. It could be a building, artwork or natural feature that helps people know where they are or what a place is known for.
Structure - built elements such as buildings, streets, roads, parks, and bridges
Common misconception
Architects only consider one building, not the wider area.
Architects consider the built environment, the local area's history and needs and think outside the box to create connections between communities in their work.
