Over 750 children aged between 7 and 12 are expected to take part, building LEGO models inspired by Gaudí's architecture
Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (B:SM) and LEGO have signed a collaboration agreement for disseminating Park Güell’s artistic value and Antoni Gaudí’s Modernista architecture. As a result of this alliance, every weekend this May LEGO educational workshops will be held at Casa Jaqués, aimed at kids between 7 and 12 years of age. More than 750 children are expected to take part.
Two separate workshops are being held. On Saturdays, participants will be able to build their own Gaudi-inspired panel using classic LEGO pieces. On Sundays, the workshop will focus on mosaics, and kids will be able to create a small design, also using LEGO pieces, based on one of Antoni Gaudí’s architectural symbols: trencadís [broken-tile mosaics].
The workshops will last roughly 30 minutes and take place between 11 am and 1 pm. The maximum number of people for each group will be 24. Tickets can be booked, as of 11 April, from the Park Güell official website and will cost €3.
The collaboration agreement between B:SM and LEGO also includes Park Güell's presence in the shop that the Danish brand has in Passeig de Gràcia de Barcelona, where a model will be on display, made with LEGO pieces, of the Park’s entrance pavilions.
