Families are the center of society. They bring life to the neighborhood and the city as a whole. Children play a crucial role and turn the city from a place of mobility to a space of activity. However, not every child grows up in the social setting we are familiar with. More and more children grow up in a modern type of family in which they need to deal with rapidly changing social circumstances. Architecture can offer solution to help these families finding their place inside the city. Prioritizing the children in the living environment and the support for parents and stepparents offers the baseline of a design for modern families.
These two key points shape the base of this graduation project focused on both the modern and traditional families. Because every family deserves a home and every child needs the opportunity to be child without paying the price for the social circumstances in the family.
