How can you include the teaching of architecture in the curriculum? The goal of this webinar is to explore multiple facets of architecture in and outside the classroom with an emphasis on the German Bauhaus and its influence on American skylines. Many ideas and materials are presented, including activities, useful vocabulary, connections to German heritage, onsite as well as online materials on architectural history, resources, games, and student projects.
