The heart shape has become a universal symbol of care, connection and friendship — appearing again and again in our pupils’ creative work around the world. A beautiful reminder that symbols carry both history and imagination.

Valentine’s Day itself has roots stretching back over 2,000 years — from Ancient Roman traditions to the Christian celebration of St. Valentine’s Day, and later to the romantic customs that developed in medieval times.

At Arkki, architecture education means learning by doing — exploring space, function and design thinking together. Excited to see what our pupils imagine and build in 2026.

Architect facilitators at Arkki asks the right que Architect facilitators at Arkki asks the right questions - 
in a child’s design thinking process, the architect–facilitator
creates a safe space to explore, guides observation and reflection,
and helps ideas grow through dialogue, testing and making.

- the role is to support thinking, not shape outcomes.
to listen, encourage risk-taking, and turn curiosity into structure.

when children design, the facilitator designs the process—
so children can design the future. ✨

By folding, cutting, and imagining, pop-up houses rise up—full of stories, streets, and surprises.

Through paper pop-up architecture, children explore:
• space and structure
• creativity and storytelling
• how ideas can literally stand up

Light, playful, and powerful—this is how architectural thinking begins. 💛✂️

In this magical art and architecture project, 5–6-year-olds designed glowing skylines that turn into spinning carousels of light and color. 🏙️💡

From sketching imaginary skylines to transforming drawings into glowing sculptures, pupils explored how a 2D line can become a 3D experience—and how light turns drawings into stories. 🌇🎨

A beautiful play of shape, color, architecture, and imagination!

Tailor Your City is an ongoing participatory architecture & urban design programme by Arkki Hungary @arkkihu , where students step into the role of urban designers. 
The project blends architecture, art, engineering, social sciences, and environmental education, helping students understand how the built environment shapes everyday life—and how they can shape it too.
