A spaceframe is a 3-dimensional structural system designed by engineers and architects that allow a building to have a very long span without columns. They may seem complicated at first, but they are actually made up of simple triangular forms in repeating patterns. In this class we will break spaceframes down so that we can build toothpick models of them and understand how they work. Learners who are interested in architecture or engineering, or wish to gain more understanding of how structures work would benefit from this class. The class covers these topics: - triangle inherent rigidity - tension and compression forces in structures - truss designs - 3-dimensional spaceframe - long span spaceframe structure - rounded, organic forms out of spaceframes - famous spaceframe buildings Students will be guided to build toothpick models during class. To connect the toothpicks together, students should have either mini-marshmallows, gumdrop candies or masking tape handy.

Hello Outschoolers!
My name is Heather Korb and I've been teaching Architecture, Urban Planning and Map-making on Outschool for over 4 years!
I am a licensed architect in New York, I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from New York Institute of Technology, and a Master of Urban Planning from City College of New York. I have been working in the architecture field for over 15 years, and I co-founded an international architecture collective called Akasa Collective to develop ideas about collaborative architecture, conceptual housing designs and map-making with kids. I have taught architecture courses at the university level as well as many classes in our homeschool community over the years.
I offer Outschool classes related to architecture, map-making and urban planning to introduce kids to the exciting world of designing buildings, transforming cities, and building community.
My lecture/discussion classes introduce kids to new design concepts and ideas, and include a broad geographical spectrum and equal representation of architects. Critical thinking, problem solving and spacial perception are important skills that designers must develop, but I also emphasize compassion and respect for all people and care for the environment. Every person-kids too!- can have an impact in their community or even the world, often through good design.
In my classes, I give kids a safe space to express themselves. In many of my classes we will be making things: creating our own maps, technical & artistic drawings, and paper models. I strive to make each kid feel comfortable and empowered to share their work. I always remind kids that everyone's design will be different and there is no wrong way, in fact, so many right ways! I aim for the class to be an enjoyable challenge for each individual learner.
I homeschool my two sons, ages 14 and 10, and we love to travel near and far, using the world as our classroom. You may find us hiking, sketching and making maps, often with friends in the forests, wetlands and beaches of Long Island- our home, or wandering around New York City, our second home.

Fun fact: I designed and built (with my husband and kids) our own tiny house on wheels!
