Andreia Peñaloza-Caicedo
Andreia Peñaloza-Caicedo is a Colombian architect and educator involved in the practice of children’s architecture education. Andreia started working as a volunteer in the Bogotá slums and Dutch libraries, sharing with children life values through reading and playing explorations. Andreia realized architects can learn with and for children by observing their behaviours and connections in relation to their living and learning spaces, wider neighbourhoods and city environments. She has created workshops that enable architects and pedagogues to understand how children perceive space, a safe place to exchange stories and ideas in relation to architecture. Andreia is currently a Ph.D. candidate at RMIT University in Melbourne, researching speculative pedagogies for the practice of Children’s Architecture Education. Her speculative research-creation project is for children to experience the making of architecture with human and other-than-human creatures, for an ethico-political environment to emerge, for the justice with all species on Earth: architecturing-with all creatures.
