SUMMARY:Sketch the Change at POST HTX
DESCRIPTION:Join Kids+Architecture for a fun filled sketching workshop at the POST HTX \, one of Houston’s award-winning entertainment center. \nPost HTX is an adaptive reuse project that transformed the historic Barbara Jordan United States Post (USPS) Office in downtown Houston into a cultural and commercial complex. The solid fortress-like structure of the USPS office\, originally designed by Wilson\, Morris\, Crain & Anderson\, the architects of Astrodome\, had immense potential\, but its industrial character posed challenges for repurposing. OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) and Powers Brown Architecture designed the redevelopment with sensitive modifications. The new design introduced atriums with three unique monumental staircases\, massive skylights which uses materials that once originated in a NASA lab\, and the largest rooftop park in the United States. POST HTX also includes a food hall\, restaurants\, coworking spaces and offices. \nThe workshop will begin with an architect-led tour by Jeanette Shaw\, AIA\, Powers Brown Architect\, before breaking up into small groups with architects to hone your sketching skills using watercolor pencils. \nAdditional information about the class: \n\nThis is an indoor and outdoor workshop\, please dress appropriately for the weather.\nStudents will work in small groups with architects to learn and develop their sketching techniques.\nA sketch book\, watercolor pencils\, bottle of water and a snack will be provided for registered students. Adults are welcome to participate and parents are welcome to stay to pick up when the workshop concludes.\nGeared towards ages 7-12.\nParking options at POST are $5 per hour after the first 20 minutes\, which are free.\n\nPlease plan to arrive early to allow time to park and check in.
