As part of the international session of the Festival of architecture Spazio Libero-Ferrara slack city Festival, a workshop dedicated to children took place in Brussels, linking up with the ArchiKids programme of the partner local association Recyclart.

How many things are there in a city? The streets, the parks, the buildings, the illuminated signs, the lights and then there is also the rain, the wind, the entanglements between things and people, you are friend with a child who is friend with another child and all three of you are entwined by friendship, there are the connections between people and at night there are the stars. And we are here.

Each cloth, dedicated to a theme, was painted collectively, then hung on a thread to create a labyrinthine structure, a free space for play, for fantastic stories and a representation of the city as told by the ‘ArchiKids’. “It was so cool the painting of the lights on the sheet, it was like you felt yourself being in a big Disco Ball”, as said by one of them.
