This paper aims at presenting the lessons learned during the planning, initiation and
execution of an experimental youth workshop named ""How to make your own Dream
House?". The workshop took place in the Faculty of Engineering at Ain Shams University,
Egypt as a part of a department of Architecture activity week in the year 2013. This
workshop simulated the real-life architecture experience to two different age groups of
young learners: kids from 7-10 years old and teens from 11-17 years old. The targeted
youth audience represented a population not likely to consider the study of architecture and
that was a relevant factor in the workshop creation .To achieve the aim of the workshop the
constructivism design studio environment was applied as a major component for learning
architecture. The detected findings of this paper could help those involve in teaching
architecture to either young learners or junior students of architecture in stimulating
collaborative architecture learning environments. Meanwhile, the paper offers relevant
methods of introducing future generations to the study of architecture.
