A London architecture firm called Foster and Partners have created some fab printable templates which allow you to ‘build your own city’, including a skyscraper! They look great: you can colour them to suit your own design initiative and print as many as you want (can!), meaning your city can become a real family effort.

What is really useful is the practice it will give you working with 2D and 3D shapes. It’s a great opportunity to try and predict what shape you think a building will become just by looking at the net of 2D shapes.

Come on you budding architects, why not have a go – I’d love to see pictures of your growing city!
