Escape
rescue adventure for Brazilian kids
In this project we created for children, we first examined the texture of Brazil. After the problems that arose, we created a base and shaped our project based on this. In this project we made for children, we decided to create the project narrative in the form of cartoons in order to keep the children in the foreground and to create the feeling of telling them. There are two little brothers that we created in the narration of the project, and both the situation in Brazil and the shaping of our structure are told through their story. These two brothers first lose their education rights due to unemployment rates in Brazil, and then they start living on the streets to find job opportunities, and then the structures we have come up with. In these structures, two of the most important activities in Brazil, unlike traditional education, appear. Dance and football.
In these education units we do, dance and football lessons are given along with normal education, and there is an education where children both have fun and learn.
The children who grow up here can get more job opportunities in Brazil with the dance and football education they receive in addition to the scientific education. There is a formation in our buildings in harmony with the hot weather of Brazil. Open corridors and our courtyard form the backbone of the buildings. It was aimed to create convenience in terms of both economy and construction by using light container materials in the materials used.
Here is the story we tell all about:
Brazil was one of the richest countries in the world, but Lucas and Bianca's family were one of the poor people who could not reach this wealth. With his father's dismissal, they both had to stop going to school. They had to work. That's where their story began...
They had to leave their school, an area where they could learn anything even in the crowd. They thought they had no chance of getting an education anymore.
They were joined by the orphaned children who were left alone in this dark and fearful world. They were unaware of the dangers that awaited them outside.
When they were looking for a job and lack of money, they found themselves alone on the street...But then a great opportunity came their way.
Then they came across a building with playgrounds inside, from which the sounds of children were heard. All the children looked happy.
On the steps, they were greeted by a courtyard where the children sat together, danced on the big stage in the middle, and played football.
A group of teachers who love children very much welcomed them at this school. They said that they approached the students with an education approach where sports and dance education were at the forefront besides general education, and they placed two siblings in the dormitory section
of the school.They were stepping into a new period of their lives with children like them.
The courtyard in the middle of the units formed the heart of the building, where they had fun and activities with their friends at all hours of the day.
In the units, materials were tried to be used in accordance with the life of Brazil. It was desired to create a flexible plan by making the units in the form of containers. Wooden elements were used in the columns in order to adapt to the principle.
The open corridors formed by the arcaded columns were the children's favorite areas. In hot weather, they created shaded areas.It was a great pleasure to see the courtyard through the columns when I was in the classroom.At the beginning of their hiding places when playing games was the back of the columns.
After years, lucas and bianca have improved themselves a lot in this field of education, both culturally and sports.Now bianca, a dancer preparing for samba performances, is lucas, who has been selected for a football team in brazil.
