LIFE MAZE
by Maryam bakhtiariha
Childhood is the time for playing and obtaining experiences so the children get to know the world and the environment around them.
During the Corona Pandemic and the quarantine that made children stay home, Their face-to-face communications and their playgrounds were strictly limited and so because of that, their physical and mental health are under severe pressures which some of the negative results of it are violence and aggression.
What will happen to our children in case of continuation of the pandemic?
Iran’s Mehr residential projects are a series of economic habitations specially and non-standardly designed for the unprivileged population.
Houses are small and tiny and outside of them, there is no space and area specially designed for the children to play, explore and be creative. By the beginning of the quarantine, more pressure was added on children and their limitations became much more than before For the children it felt to be in jail.
This problem brings up an important question.
As the pandemic keeps going on and also there is no proper place for children to be creative and well trained, what will happen to the children in the future?
Will they be able to get to know themselves and the outside environment in a perfect and complete way without exploring and getting experiences?
How will be their relations and social communications in the future And How will the next generation shape their social life?
This is a portable system with different sections which will be built around the residential complexes with recyclable materials. Children will face so many new missions and challenges about social collaborations, making friends, respecting to animals and the nature and humansim and … that they can go through them and fulfill them with their sense of creativeness and cooperations In different forms like games. So a proper learning about facing challenges in real life, living a life and enjoying it will happen In the forms of games and plays.
