My Role: Conceptual development, Design and Technical drawing
Since we are facing a shortage of service facilities for women in the city of Mashhad, Iran, we began by identifying the types of park users by formulating this question: “How architecture and cities work for women? “ Single mothers with children struggle to find themselves in society as a woman and as a mother. Most of them have strong psychological trauma and and they become isolated as a result.
To improve their quality of life and enhance their physical and mental well-being, the proposed project is dedicated to single mothers with children to provide spaces where they can meet their needs there. By offering various facilities within parks, we can promote their overall well-being and ensure that they have opportunities for physical, recreational, artistic, and cultural activities. This will contribute to their social integration and help prevent them from becoming isolated in society.
The selected site had ancient trees that are part of the city’s heritage, and their preservation was considered crucial in shaping the overall park design. Pedestrian pathways, cycling paths, sports fields, and various playgrounds for children and buildings were strategically placed based on the excisting of these trees.
