Coping with Post-Trauma:
Kocasinan Spatio-Therapy Node in Kayseri
ARCH202 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II
Merve Nur Ülker / Nest
The center, created specifically for children who have experienced violence, offers them a safe haven to heal and grow. Designed to conceptually incorporate the idea of taking wings under protection, the center includes eggs as part of its design. These eggs facilitate an endless cycle, symbolizing a bird and a family embracing each other.
The eggs, strategically placed throughout the center, serve as both artistic elements and functional spaces where children can engage in various therapeutic activities. The presence of these eggs encourages continuous movement and exploration, promoting a dynamic environment that fosters healing, creativity, and learning. Each egg is a haven for imagination and recovery, offering a unique space for children to dream, play, and heal, making the center a nurturing ground for their emotional and psychological well-being. Here, children also have the freedom to run and explore, further supporting their journey towards healing.
