Labor Children Center

Idea projektu

The current project aims to design a center for labor children in the first district of Tehran, specifically the Evin neighborhood in Iran. The site is accessible for pedestrians from the south and for vehicles from the east and west. There are also private residential properties and gardens on the north and northwestern sides of the site. On the other hand, the project context is a garden with various types of plants and trees, with a semi-abandoned cottage in its middle part. Therefore, preserving the existing trees and the building has been one of the main goals of the design. Other important project goals are: identifying the needs, problems, and specific characteristics of labor children and designing according to them; paying attention to the views and landscape of the garden; using local materials harmoniously with the context’s neighborhood building materials; and paying attention to the topography of the site and designing the building based on it.

Popis projektu

The design aims to work as a center for the growth and evolution of street children. Therefore, it is decided to depict this evolution through time by dedicating exclusive spaces to the kids for planting their trees in the building. These trees, as well as growing with and representing the kids and their progress through time, help creating vibrant and semi-open outdoor spaces. Moreover, the design hopes to create a vibrant atmosphere for the kids. This goal is achieved by using colors and limiting the maximum building heights to one floor above ground

Technické informace

The site’s 9% slope was modified into six different height codes, varying from 0.00 to 8.50 meters in height from the entrance level. Each site’s level also provides access to the zones on that level. Moreover, locating the buildings all over the site made it possible to use some of the rooftops as usable spaces for kids.

Labor Children Center

your concept is very interesting, the idea for the kids to track how far they have come through the growth of the trees sound good and exciting. But i think when you came to the form, you lost the concept. its like the concept And the form are not working together. i would have loved if you also showed this progress/growth in the buildings. like have a building that is representing the start, and progress according to the progression of the kids. and you can take advantage of the slope to achieve that too.
