From building a structure with bamboo chopsticks and peas, the kids designed their own houses in a field determent by neighbors, a main street and a sidewalk.

  1. The materials: the field, the bamboo chopsticks and the peas.
  2. The structures: built based on squares, triangles, cubes, rectangles and pyramids.
  3. Houses of several stories high and lean-to rooftops
  4. We gave rigidity to our houses with glue and paper tape
  5. With colored papers we built the formwork or the “skin” of our houses
  6. With the finished houses we began the construction of our neighborhood.  Dos elements defined it: a street and a river, intersected with a bridge.
