1.1 Introduction '' I did not expect that I will end up experiencing the worst phase in my life, but 13 years old kid would have no control over himself. I destroyed my teens and felt depressed and lonely but there was no other way''. This is a testimony by Khalid, My cousin who had an odd temperament. Everyone in the family was puzzled by his behavior and attempted to find out why he was acting so strangely. He is like most teens today, having no friends, spending all his time on his cellphone, and living as if his virtual life were the actual world. However, one of the problems that can reflect on him is that most parents tend to avoid arguments with their teen's children as they know how stubborn they can be. Nevertheless, the issues must be addressed before they worsen. They did not resolve Khalid's situation, and no one helped him in overcoming it. As a result, his condition started to be worse with the passage of days. His real world was collapsing step by step as everyone avoided any interaction with him, his school grades dropped as well as his mental health as he entered states of anxiety, depression, and anger as he showed some aggressive attitude. In addition, he was beginning to show some signs of depression and anxiety. He lived his life as a social media as a robot. He did not give himself the chance to enjoy real life or discover himself and see his qualification and to know what he is capable of.

Everyone was thinking, is it a problem he can overcome with time? would Khalid be able to fix his attitude and start focusing on his future and find his own path?

At that time, most teens can see that their situation is an addiction to the virtual non-existing world that is built into their phones. However, this is not just a problem with Khalid, it is a new addiction that is now being discovered and spread among most teenagers.

Now, he is a grown-up, he regrets everything that happened to him in the past.

10

He believes that he could live a better life if he took the advantage of every chance. However, 13 years boy, was thought he could make a social life on the internet, without noticing what he has in his life.

Teenagers, for the most part, are victims of the new emerging virtual social life, which might turn to be fake and not real It is basically dominating our daily life and replacing the physical interactions and connections, however, it is not humane and affects the life of the teens negatively.

This is a typical example of a teenage boy in our society especially after the spread and ease of social media and the Internet.

According to ( Tomaszek, K and Muchacka-Cymerman 2019), 1.4 to 17.1 percent of young people worldwide are addicted to the Internet.

Internet addiction is a serious mental health problem that is linked to chronic stress and is most common in adolescents It also has an impact on educational performance, social relationships, and physical and psychological functioning. Furthermore, risky behaviors and health issues such as alcohol and drug abuse, delinquency, and suicidal ideation have been linked to school burnout and Internet addiction, also associated with social withdrawal, isolation, and loneliness. as stated by ( Tomaszek, K and Muchacka-Cymerman 2019), Teenagers are the most vulnerable group to the Internet and social networking sites, and for this reason, our project aims to allow the new generation, the future, to develop new aspects and enhance their skills. As a result, it will assist them in avoiding Internet and social networking site addiction and focus on the development of themselves and their skills, also their social, cultural, and artistic lives. It also aims to create a psychologically, socially, and mentally healthy personality that can make decisions and rely on itself to build a valid and successful society because teenagers today‘s our tomorrow.

1.2 Project Background Teenagers are the most neglected group, and they must be taken care of and understood. They are the most in need of attention because they are a group that is coming to the youth stage, so they must be taken care of from the beginning and directed in the right direction. We have noticed through studies and research that it is the most oppressed group. They are on the phone and the Internet all day long, this increases their psychological problems, writing and lethargy, especially since they are the most active and quickunderstanding category.. In all countries, we rarely find people interested in this category or there is a place designated for them only, especially also in Bahrain, there is no .. We chose this category because they are mostly victims of social life, especially since they do not find anyone who hears them or understands them and does not even know what they love or what their hobby is!

Therefore, we want to design an educational and entertainment center for them with the aim of achieving two goals first Entertainment and the second is education.

The project will be divided into areas with different activities that will allow teenagers to deal with them Their work and put a large amount of knowledge on the spot The goal of the project is to help teenagers by providing a place that includes many activities to help They practice their hobbies and develop themselves, given that Bahrain lacks education and Recreational centers for this age group. So, a new center has been created Educational and entertainment methods for various activities away from boring traditional methods Helps teens mentally and psychologically.

We will let them benefit from this project, educationally and entertainment to guide them in a correct way that helps them know their way of life and to follow their dreams.

13

Bahrain will have conscious, educated and successful youth who know what a talented and mature person wants, and the chances of loneliness, depression and anxiety will decrease dramatically.

In principle, the period or stage that will be built correctly, needs attention, good friends, Participation, staying away from the Internet, knowing her hobbies and ambitions in highlighting them and developed. And the right direction is not their monopoly except in front of the Internet and sitting on it home, and because there are many studies and research that have found on the Internet that this A category exposed to bullying, anxiety, depression and suicide..! We design a center that helps them express themselves, know themselves and their hobby, so the symptoms of depression and anxiety within them will disappear and they will have self-confidence Teenagers need psychological support and psychological guidance, so we try to design An integrated building that combines the two goals of education and entertainment

14

1.3 Project Aim Many teenagers are suffering from the lack of a place where they can spend their free time, practice their hobbies, and express their emotions, so they are attracted to social media or to activities that waste time without benefiting them.

In fact, Bahrain lacks centers or places that offer a variety of activities to this age group; thus, we want to design a teens center with a variety of activities to benefit and attract them.

15

1.4 Methodology The major reason for the project's success is a thorough comprehension of the project's requirements.

These are the research approaches we used in our project:

1.Case studies Study case studies that have been like our project and use their methods in terms of exterior and interior design, designs, materials, and other key design components. Case studies will aid in a thorough study and understanding of the project, allowing it to better match the user's needs.

2.Interviews To collect extensive information from teenagers through interviews in order to better understand user needs and to apply them in a way that would satisfy them and help us reach our goal.

3.Observation and survey : To design a proper environment, you must first understand user thought and behaviour patterns.

1.6 Conclusion Teenagers are the most vulnerable demographic when it comes to the Internet and social networking sites, thus our project wants to help the next generation, the future, build new abilities and learn new things. As a result, it will help students avoid being addicted to the Internet and social networking sites, allowing them to focus on their own personal growth, as well as their social, cultural, and artistic life. It also aspires to develop a psychologically, socially, and mentally healthy individual capable of making decisions and relying on themselves in order to construct a valid and successful society.

21 2.1.1 Understanding the edutainment.

2.1 Literature Review

Introduction: its meanly focusing on what is edutainment, the history of early edutainment, the future of the edutainment, the benefit of edutainment and How do we achieve the goal of learning through entertainment?. This summary depends on article written by Felice Corona, Carla Cozzarelli,Carmen Palumbo, Maurizio Sibilio, (January-March 2013) Information Technology and Edutainment: Education and Entertainment in the Age of Interactivity, by László Zentai, Eszter Dombóvári,(2004) EDUTAINMENT IN CARTOGRAPHY, by Zühal Okan,(2003) Edutainment: is learning at risk?

What is the best way to define edutainment? It's more than just a blend of instruction and enjoyment. It's tough to identify its traits. the entertainment aspect must take precedence over the educational aspect.

One of the most crucial features of these computer games is their interaction. At different times and in different environments, the level of engagement varies. The interaction that is applied as the game's rules is the essence of the games.

Three essential parts make up good instructional software (edutainment): 1. educational content.

2. interactive components (real-time reaction).

3. an appealing UI that may capture the interest of teenagers.

What is Edu-tainment?

As he said (László Zentai) The close relationship that exists between entertainment and education has given rise to edutainment, which can be defined as a constant and inventive brain-training that increases the capacity to combine attention and drive to explore and learn in an interactive manner.

Asserting that learning and enjoyment go hand in hand, and that successful learning materials should be mentally exciting and entertaining.

22

Its meanly focusing on is a method of integrating teaching methods with the form of a game in order to attract students and maximize the active effect of games in order to aid our education. We can leverage edutainment's benefits to increase students' interest in learning, improve our teaching quality and efficiency, and develop their creative ideation. Edutainment can be developed and has a lot of potential in the future.

History: EARLY EDUTAINMENT according to (Felice,Carla,Carmen , January 12,March 18, 2013). coined the term "edutainment" to combine the concepts of instruction and entertainment. Both proposed edutainment as a type of communication in which the game is used for educational reasons in 1960. Marshal McLuhan (1998), in particular, emphasized that individuals who distinguish between entertaining and education overlook the fact that education must be both amusing and educational at the same time.

Gaming is not reliant on a person's age: naturally, people of various ages prefer different games. If we concentrate on education, these video gaming teenagers, he said (László Zentai)can improve their talents and put what they've learned into practice. The map is a fundamental feature in cartographic edutainment.

The following are the primary categories of classical cartography edutainment: Puzzle: the pieces can be of identical size, but they can also be map geographic units (administrative areas such as countries or counties). Jacob Frierich Klemm of Nürting constructed one of the first examples of a map puzzle in 1782.

(Germany). The name of the book was Neue Atlas für Jugend (New Atlas for the Youth). outline (unlettered) map game: Players must identify map features or place them on a map in.

The map's common trait is that it only contains a few fundamental features (administrative units, water features, and geographic coordinate lines) in order to test the users' understanding.

When school atlases were first used in geography teaching in primary and secondary schools in the early half of the twentieth century, this type of game became popular.

23

Figure1:global puzzle

Cross-words are a hybrid of the traditional crossword and the outline (unlettered) map.

Crossword puzzles were devised in the 1920s and quickly became popular. When different sorts of crossword puzzles were invented in the 1970s, the publisher intended to make a variation of regular crossword puzzles.

THE FUTURE OF THE EDUTAINMENT: Is it possible to predict the future of edutainment? Nobody would have predicted the internet's popularity 15 years ago, therefore forecasting the next few years is difficult.

Edutainment presents users with deeply fulfilling challenges that necessitate the development of skills and strategies in order to accomplish the goal. Furthermore, in contrast to traditional educational perspectives, edutainment promotes a student-centered rather than teachercentered style to learning: the computer may serve as a substitute for the teacher, but the user, or learner, is the most important performance in edutainment.

An edutainment setting can teach people everything and nothing at the same time. It all depends on the user's background; in any case, the user will pick up on the behaviors during the edutainment process.

Figure2:Map Crosswords

The Benefit of edutainment: The advantages of edutainment stem from the fact that the cognitive processes of the brain during play are comparable to those that occur during learning, therefore they produce motivation, repetition, self-control, meanings, and the elaboration of large amounts of knowledge almost instantaneously (Corona & Cozzarelli, 2011).

The role of games and Several games linked to edutainment mechanisms in the learning process were investigated to see how and to what degree they might improve study, memory development, attention, motivation, cognitive processes development, and spatial abilities development (Carlomagno, 2012).

24

It was stressed that digital games and technology systems can aid language development if, for example, parents and instructors actively participate in their children's experiences with an educational goal in mind, helping the formation of cognitive processes and impulse control.

Interactive games, children's information products, scientific items, and notably specific educational and didactic aids that promote intelligent entertainment are all part of the edutainment field.

According to (Corona & Cozzarelli, 2011)teens are incredibly interested and involved in playful-creative activities they participate in, utilizing a variety of tools and sources according to the principle and the aims of edutainment, as evidenced by the analysis of the results of many studies.

The goal is to define "edutainment" as a branch of e-learning that uses multimedia applications to improve learning in school, extra-curricular activities, and the didactic sector in general.

How do we achieve the goal of learning through entertainment?

When an instructor employs the following approaches and strategies, he can achieve the goal of learning through entertainment.

The game combines ease, excitement, and a challenge. Methods that encourage pupils' independence and self-reliance. When these tactics are appropriate for the person's preferences and age.

Providing a safe and inspiring learning environment in which it is simple to create an enjoyable educational class through instructions, designs, and implementation assistance, and in which it is pedagogically designed to support diverse learning strategies and embodies a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

25

Conclusion: Edutainment refers to technology and software products that mix education with enjoyment in some form. It is a combination of the term's "education" and "entertainment." Many of these items and technology aim to make education more appealing to youth in the digital age.

Edutainment technology comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. If a streaming video platform or a prepackaged learning product has both entertainment and educational value, it is classified as edutainment. Edutainment technology can alternatively be defined as a cell phone app, a car dashboard, or a projection screen.

Edutainment is a very appealing feature in designing current digital and hybrid curriculum for use in the classroom as well as for extra educational purposes.

27 2.1.2 Understanding the user.

Introduction: This all focuses on how teenagers think, how to understand them, their needs, and what makes them unique , This description is based on Heikki Karjaluoto and Matti Leppäniemi's website and article from 11 November 2012 Understanding Behavioral Intention to Participate in Virtual World Environment , as well as Elisa Menardoa, Giulia Balboni , and Roberto Cubelli's paper from 2017 Environmental factors and teenagers’ personalities , and Dorin Opriş1and Monica OprişIt 2012 in TEENAGERS’ MODELS OF UNDERSTANDING SUFFERING .

Main body: Who are teenagers? How old are they?

A teenager, sometimes known as a teen, is a person who is between the ages of 13 and 19.

Most neurologists believe that the brain continues to develop into the early third decade (early 20s). One is no longer a teenager after the age of twenty. However, as the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex (PFC), develops, neuronal plasticity continues.

This may be scientifically correct, but it isn't in practice since we don't all think scientifically.

In APRIL 2013 Matti Leppäniemi Said that A teen is someone who does not listen to the words of senior people until they have given it some thought.

A teen is someone who talks before thinking . A teen who is haughty in front of their parents.

A teen who is snarky, especially against older people.

Teenagers are frequently shown as misbehaving, depressed, disrespectful, immature, dumb, and even dangerous. This is due to the juvenile behavior of many of them. This is not true for every adolescent, and I believe it is past time for us to abandon this ridiculous caricature.

28

The suffering of teenagers: Now that everyone knows about one part of them, the other side is completely different and more emotional. . A teen who is regularly chastised by their parents but is forced to remain silent because speaking would be considered talking back.

We are unable to protect ourselves.

In APRIL 2013 Matti Leppäniemi Said that A teen who hides beneath their blankets and tears quietly for fear of their parents catching them and punishing them.

A teen who has no actual friends in this huge world and is subjected to bullying at school.

A teen who works but is nonetheless labeled "useless for nothing" by their parents.

A teen is someone who deserves happiness and wants more from life, but sadly, fate only gives them terrible luck.

A teen who loves deeply but is unable to express their feelings.

A teen who not only loves about their phony pals, but also stands by them in their darkest moments, even if they don't receive help.

A teen is someone who hides their true feelings and works their tails out to acquire excellent marks so that their parents are pleased of them.

A teen who discreetly saves money for their parents' or siblings' birthdays or anniversaries in order to buy them items they wished they had years before.

29

Teenager’s needs & how to understand them: Received 29 September 2012 Jose´ Martı´ Parren˜o Said Teenagers, like children and even adults, require *good* parents, parents who are understanding and do not constantly criticize them, parents who love them, and parents who tell them things like, -You are brilliant; smarter than your parents at times! ..

Even whether you're undecided about something as important as your future or as minor as what snack to eat, you have great potential. You are strong, and your individual decisions are meaningful and significant.

You are cherished. Even if you're feeling lonely. Even while you're feeling lonely. Even if you despise yourself (especially then). Even if you don't believe it, you are loved.

They require a stress-free atmosphere as well as a secure environment in which to dwell.

They require loving advice from friends, not from parents, and they require friends who understand them.

They must believe that they can take on responsibilities and that they are no longer children.

What they really need and specifications?

Received 29 September 2012 Jose´ Martı´ Parren˜o Said These are the basic requirements: -Belonging -Power -Enjoyment -independence Being accepted and feeling like a part of something is what it means to belong.

The ability to make one's own decisions is referred to as power.

Enjoyment Is it about having a good time or looking for thrills?

Independence Is it all about having control over one's life and being self-sufficient?

30

What the special in teenagers?

In 31 January 2013 Joaquin Alda´s-Manzano Said Teenagers have many advantages over other ages, such as a faster rate of learning and skill acquisition, and the ability to develop their personalities. They are also emotional, independent, have intellectual growth, physical and hormonal maturity, sexual and social awareness, and, of course, if they find good people to guide them in the right direction.

How to connect or link the edutainment in our design & how teenagers see that?

In 31 January 2013 Carla Ruiz-Mafe´ Said Teenagers view education as related to and more productive, especially in our time, because they get bored easily and dislike work and regular education... until education becomes a relative, and we thought of making education more entertaining education than placing electronic screens and making the place or design in it their talents to love it.

31

Conclusion: In the end I learned a lot of very important things about the user that will benefit me in the design stage, I learned their needs and how I will apply this in the design and how I will attract their attention to make them come, I have learned that this age is very important and will affect them later, so you must take care of them and direct them in the right way and design the right environment It is safe and enjoyable for them, and one of the most important points that caught my attention is that this age specifically does not like to impose anything on it and does not like advice. Therefore, designing an educational and entertaining environment for them is the most appropriate solution for this category, to educate them indirectly and to attract them, especially as it is a neglected group and almost very difficult to obtain on a place designated for them.

33 2.1.3 Edutainment centers design guideline.

This summary its meanly focusing on design the space, furniture flexibility ,color , lighting and technology depends on website and article written by Bolan T. K. (2003) , Teen Tech Center (2021) Lighting a Room (2018) .

Designing a place for teens is not easy according to the research and books that have been read because teens have certain needs that make them want to join the centre you are a component and a requirement; they need to design a centre for teens that provides many aspects to reach the goal of our project: 1. CREATE A COMFORTABLE SETTING: 1. Allow for plenty of natural light.

2. Use doors and windows that look like they belong in a home.

3. Create a welcoming atmosphere at the entryway.

4. As the major ambient lighting source, use indirect lighting.

5. Avoid finishes, textures, and colours that have an institutional to them.

2. PROMOTE CREATIVITY:

1. Colours and textures in the inside should be considered.

2. Consider murals for your walls.

3. Incorporate teen feedback throughout the design process.

4. Make room for young people's artwork to be displayed.

5. Make performance space available.

34

3. PROMOTE AUTONOMY 1. Allow for independent access to the food bar, restrooms, and games.

2. Computers, television, friends, and a peaceful environment 3. Make room for group discussion.

4. ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE FOR STAFF AND ADULTS 1. Provide a place to think, plan, and meet; welcome visitors; and store equipment, personal items, records, and assets.

2. Create a setting that encourages family participation during meetings, special events, and activities focusing on the family.

5. PROTECT AND PROMOTE A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

1. Consider the organization of the supervision and the lines of sight.

2. Make sure you choose an area that is simple to clean and maintain.

3. Make sure the entrances are well-lit and easy to find.

4. Maintain an approach to space that is Universal Design.

5. Make sure there's enough room for everyone to move about.

6. Make sure you have more storage than you think you'll need.

35

To create the largest space that can be used, through proper storage and flexible furniture, and these things are not only to create space, but also affect the psychology of teenagers and employees.

The first thing to know about storage it’s easier to keep things in order when you have good storage alternatives. Maintaining a clean and tidy atmosphere promotes relaxation and makes it simpler to concentrate on the task at hand. But what about the centre?

The entire centre is an edutainment space, even areas that were previously considered just transportation routes. By furnishing hallways and other public spaces with appropriate furniture, you can create spontaneous meeting spaces where people can easily work together and share their knowledge. The classroom can be expanded into the corridor, creating opportunities for individual and group work. One of the foundations of the centre is flexible furniture, which will give and utilize space while also ensuring that youngsters do not become bored in the area. When not in use, stackable chairs and tables take up very little room. This makes room for additional activities, provides for tailored learning environments, and improves space efficiency.

Use castors with locks or brakes on the furniture to boost flexibility even more. The space may then be easily converted from standard classroom seating to group work, movie seating without tables, or an empty floor for a morning yoga session. The wheels also mean that the furniture its does not need to be carried and does not make a lot of noise when moved on the floor, even the youngest teenagers can easily assist with the process of shifting. It is important that the furniture is suitable for all people. People have different bodies, and this is more evident when it comes to teenagers. Teenagers vary in height and weight from year to year. Tables of different heights and chairs with adjustable seat height and depth allow each child to have furniture that fits their body.

To ensure that the furniture lasts, consider the fabric you pick; it should be washable, sturdy, and meet stringent fire safety standards. The fabrics used should also be certified, such as by the EU Ecolabel or the Oeko-Tex health label.

Figure5:examle for design guideline

36

It is not only about flexible furniture and the provision of yards, but also colours play an important role. As kids grow older, the old colour scheme of bunnies, Barbie’s, and Disney characters may no longer be appropriate. Pale pinks and blues are no longer standard.

Sophisticated patterns and colour palettes are more enticing, and as youngsters reach their mid-teens, begin to favour dark colours like black. We're told that's usual. It denotes a transition from childhood innocence to grownup sophistication. But what about colour?

“Use a bold wide black and white horizontal stripe around the room, add in a black duvet, and the teenager sees a black room,” says Kim. “Then when you’ve won that battle, add in the colour with a rug, lamp shade or furniture. I’ve found that younger teenagers like to use their sports team colours, while older teens are more likely to strip any reference to that very same team and be ready for a splash of colour.

37

In fact, most older teenagers aren't terrified of colour. They're willing to try out new colours and textures, such as vivid fluros and metallic, as well as materials with varying sheens. Teens like red, purple, vivid blues, and citrus greens, while black may remain a steady favourite because it's considered 'cool.' To brighten the mood and generate personality, employ pops of vibrant colour alongside black, or switch altogether to grey tones. Teal and raspberry, for example, give the conventional blue and pink a more mature appearance. Consider Resene Such Fun and Resene Dauntless with Resene Raspberry or Resene Red Letter as a base.

Combine them with modest amounts of black or dark grey. For a pleasant hang-out on the floor for friends, add colourful accent rugs and beanbags or floor cushions.

Figure6:colorscheme

Metal accents, such as Resene Zoop de Loop (a deep metallic blue) or Resene (a silvery copper colour), offer an add a modern edge, so they're a terrific alternative to black.

Figure7:colorscheme

A simple approach to dress up a teen's area is to use paint to make a statement. Use geometric forms or a giant bull's-eye design with five distinct accent colours that may be carried across the remainder of the room. Debbie Abercrombie, a colour consultant and home designer, also recommends experimenting with ombre designs .So that meant not bringing it in as one flat wall but creating that ombre effect to allow her to have that beautiful strong clear colour in her room but then it just gets softer and softer. Using it that way is really uplifting, especially for a young girl. She wants something elevating and something that feels good to walk into.” Debbie suggests masking out stripes to achieve the impression, but she adds, "It doesn't have to be as good as an artist could do." It doesn't need to be flawless. Begin with the navy at the bottom and mix in some

white in little amounts. Maybe start with seven stripes and gradually add white until you're doing the opposite and adding a little navy to the white.”

Figure8:colorscheme

38

One important factor is the light in the center as mentioned in the requirements for the center. Lighting is not the afterthought many of us think of when it comes to decorating a room as any expert designer would tell you. “Light is a powerful thing,” said Theo Richardson, head of development at Rich Brilliant Willing, the Brooklyn-based design firm best known for its eye-catching LED lighting, which he co-founded with Charles Brill and Alexander Williams. “The right light lifts mood, inspires productivity and motivates us. Light activates the little things – our morning routines, or moments spent with friends.” The design and distribution of lighting depends on the area. If it is a study area, it is necessary to increase the lighting, but if it is a relaxation area, there is no need for much light, and it is possible to think about relying on sunlight, as sunlight plays a major role in increasing the vitality and comfort of adolescents As for technology? The technology used in a teen centre project is crucial since it varies depending on the project's design or concept. If the project is for the education and development of teenagers, for example, laptops, smart boards, and electronic games should be provided. Teen Tech Centre features a recording studio with guitars, sample boards, MIDI and keyboards, DJ turntables, and other audio production software and hardware for music projects. A variety of high-quality Canon cameras/lenses, lights, microphones, and other equipment are available for photography and video projects. The facility contains a twin nozzle 3D printer, vinyl cutter, and T-shirt press for sewing and textile projects. , as well as a sewing machine, an embroidery machine, and a button-making machine. The Teen Tech Centre has numerous Wacom drawing devices, the full Adobe creative suite on every computer, and other non-technical items for design projects.

39

In conclusion, when all the requirements are provided and a healthy environment is provided for adolescents through flexible furniture, colours, lighting and technology, there will be no reason why adolescents do not want to stay in the centre, but rather they will have a strong motivation to stay because they feel comfortable and feel a sense of belonging. The right way to build a better future and go back to other wrong ways and this could be used as design guidelines in the coming semester.

41 2.1.4 Edutainment center types.

Introduction: The summary focuses on introducing the various types of edutainment centers and the benefits they provide.

This summary is based on articles by Donald (1985), Bentz (1992), Bergonzi and smith (1996), Pipin Artistikarini (2016) and Jurėnienė (2012) , as well as websites such as Lcsd.gov.hk. 2021, torontosportscouncil.ca. 2021, Sport Australia. 2021 and The Center for Arts Education. 2021, also a book which names Edutainment technologies by Chang, M.

42

Main body: 1- Intellectual or thinking center: Bentz (1992) claims that intellectual learning improves critical thinking, problemsolving, formal processes, and creativity. Intellectual learning is classified into two types: emotional learning and cognitive learning. Emotional learning is based on a desire to know and comprehend, a search for knowledge, and a greater level of creativity. Curiosity, inquisitiveness, and a particular kind of imagination about others, as well as an Intellectual Part that relies on intellectual creation, "creative" thought, and discovery, caution, and creating tiny plans.

According to Donald (1985), intellectual development is all about learning; it is about how people arrange their minds, ideas, and thoughts to make sense of the environment in which they live. It helps the way of other areas of development like Physical development is accomplished using the senses, such as touching, tasting, listening, and playing. Intellectual or thinking center is the faculty that makes a being capable of logic, reasoning, and discovering.

43

Figure10:example for intellectual centers

2- Sport center: As shown on Lcsd.gov.hk. 2021 website, a sports center is a unique facility where sports are played in an enclosed or open space. It might be a building (indoor sports center), just outdoors (outdoor sports center), or a combination of both indoor and outdoor sports features. Leisure facilities such as badminton courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, netball courts, tennis courts, squash courts, table tennis tables, billiard facilities, activity rooms, dance rooms, fitness rooms, sport climbing walls, and a variety of other physical activities are available at these sports centers.

As seen on the torontosportscouncil.ca. 2021 website, sports have numerous physical and mental health advantages, including stress reduction, physical fitness, cognitive growth, personal well-being, and social integration.

As it is stated on Sport Australia. 2021 website, sport adds value to every educational level by testing critical thinking abilities, decision making, and moral reasoning. Sport also promotes socializing by providing team activities that allow young people to form social networks based on common interests. Sport also helps young people to take on leadership roles and responsibilities.

Figure11:example for sport centers

44

3- Technology and virtual reality: According to Chang (2011), technology and virtual reality centers are places where people may learn about robotics and technology, as well as how to build Lego Technic models, design their own games, and create interactive art. Participate in hands-on learning activities and explore and learn with the different technological tools available. Also, Mini-classes or group activities to encourage group problemsolving.

Virtual reality's effectiveness in education is due to ubiquitous games and ubiquitous technology and learning; future classroom, e-reader, and multi-touch learning performance and achievement, learning by playing, game design and development, game-based learning/training, interactions in games, digital museum and technology, and behavior in games, educational robots, and toys, e-learning platforms and tools, game engine, rendering, animations, and game-assisted language learning. Technology and virtual reality learning can improve thinking skills while also increasing the potential to be creative and innovative.

45

Figure12:example for technology centers

4- Art center: As it can be shown on (The Center for Arts Education) site, the Art Center is a place where students can go to express themselves through the arts. The arts can include Performing arts education (dance, drama, music), literature and poetry, storytelling, Visual arts education in film, craft, design, digital arts, media, and photography, and many other things. Arts education has been shown to improve students' creativity, well-being, and academic success at all grade levels. Art centers can help students' literacy as well as their social, emotional, and cognitive development. in addition to enhancing creativity, critical thinking, cooperation, and communication.

Arts education, according to Bergonzi and Smith (1996), has a proven positive effect on students' creativity, well-being, and academic success at all grade levels.

As character creates generations of intelligent people based on their talent and abilities, Art is also intended to contribute significantly to the characters' education as Pipin Artistikarini (2016) stated.

Figure13:example for art centers

46

5- Cultural center: According to Jurnien (2012), cultural centers' activities can be classified as follows: popularization of ethnographic culture; promotion and inducement of contemporary culture; protection of cultural heritage; and creation and implementation of short and long-term cultural and educational projects in the community. Cultural centers assist children and youth in studying cultural arts as well as knowledge about culture and heritage.

Figure14:example for cultural centers

47

Conclusion: In conclusion, an edutainment center is a place where teens experience the magic of their personality, the ability to learn through exploration, discovery, and the power of their own imaginations. because teenagers are neglected in our community and there is no place that is just for them, so our project is depending on designing a place for teenagers to express themselves and find their magic. So, centers that have activities such as socializing, artistic, thinking, culture, and sports help our future generation to express themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. Furthermore, such activities are an essential component of modern education.

48

2.2 Technical Specification:

It is well established that the relationship between education and entertainment provides optimal learning conditions. Edutainment learning settings must be adaptive in the near term to suit varied teaching and enjoyment methods, as well as in the long term to accommodate program changes at a low cost. As a result, educational and technical specifications describe how to produce ideal learning environments. The specifications for technical issues in interior design in the form of sound issues and technology will be discussed below.

49

2.2.1 Sound issues: Introduction: This summary depends on website and article written by Giovana Martino (2021), acoustiblok (2020) its meanly focusing on introducing the Solutions to sound insulation problems.

Main body: According to Giovana Martino (2021), It’s important to remember that all materials have certain acoustic properties, whether they're echo or absorption. This means that all surfaces in a place, including floors, ceilings, walls, tables, seats, benches, artwork, and even the people inside, influence the acoustic comfort of the setting. As a result, a variety of solutions can be combined and executed to meet the needs of the location.

Acoustics are especially important in a teen centre, especially in the open-plan environment. Acoustic solutions are frequently used on every available surface in such situations. This Superlimo project for engineering consultant CTE combines synthetic and natural materials such as wood to produce acoustic comfort in walls, ceilings, and floor finishes. Every area has a unique requirement, and each request requires a unique response. The architects focused on the walls in meeting rooms that are also used for conferences, while they focused on the floors and ceilings in huge work areas with many people.

Figure15:example for sound isolation

50

In this other project by Superlimão, Populos Office, ceiling tiles are also used as partitions for workspaces, a subtle and attractive solution for the interior. On the other hand, in large open-plan offices with many workstations, projects usually invest in the design of statement ceilings, as shown in DMDV's Dentsu Aegis Network office, which features a double-height ceiling with hexagonal cloud panels.

Figure16:example for wall and ceiling isolation

Acoustic Wall Covering Uses: can be employed in both residential and commercial settings, including engine rooms and other large industrial facilities with a lot of noise.

Pros: novel material that is flexible but robust, simple to use, and cost-effective Cons: it's quite pricey

Figure17:example for wall isolation

51

Acoustic Ceiling Systems & Tiles Uses: to soundproof ceiling areas and produce a finished ceiling with a void above to house services, HVAC ducting, and other ducting.

Pros: produces a finished ceiling and enables for a huge surface area of acoustic absorption.

Cons: structural framework method, which uses wire or steel drop rods to create a grid for the tiles to be laid, which requires professional installation.

Furthermore, the layout of the floor plan can have a significant impact on noise reduction. Combinations with diverse spaces and programs provide more control over open spaces work areas and give better acoustics in this project for OLX offices by Pedra Silva Arquitectos.

Ceilings, floors, and walls have also been outfitted with acoustic materials. According to Julian Treasure, open-plan offices without proper management can lose up to 66 percent of their productivity. Because working in noisy environments is difficult and unhealthy, the workspace design must be more aware of acoustics, providing a variety of options, from more private spaces to communal spaces.

Figure18:acoustic ceiling

Figure19:acoustic ceiling

Figure20:acoustic ceiling

52

When we think of acoustic comfort, we think of packed rooms like a playroom, but there are also quiet spaces that require acoustic treatment and soundproofing, such as Rockery for Play - Poly WeDo Art Education/ARCHSTUDIO. The classrooms of this children's school are cave-like, with wood finishes that maintain sound quality. AnLstudio's The Suit, a conference centre that needs to be converted to many different functions and boost acoustic capacity as desired by the client, is another project that makes advantage of the engineering and reflecting capabilities of wood. The multi-faceted surface optimizes sound transmission throughout the area.

Figure21:acostics

53

Figure22:acostics

Figure23:acostics

For acoustic comfort and sound insulation, these projects exhibit a variety of manufactured synthetic materials, natural materials such as wood, and even noise-reducing glass, but projects that use rustic and raw natural materials are hard to come by. To attain the desired acoustic quality, Sfurna Designs uses locally created perforated bricks and local bonding procedures in their home theater studio interior design. They employed sound-absorbing wood panels, floors, and ceilings in addition to the exposed architecture.

Conclusion: In conclusion it’s clear that Solutions to sound insulation problems are not only in construction but can be through finishes and this could be used as design guidelines in the coming semester.

54

2.2.2 Technology: Introduction: In this study, we'll look at the use of technology in adolescent recreational education, as well as its value and impact.

Main body: Types:

-Big touch screens - Every class must have wireless projector and speakers fixated to the ceiling, it will make to easier to do presentations and to videos.

- Internet connection

55

- Comfortable chairs and desks, the seating in the classroom should be comfortable because student will be seating in class for few hours and if the seating is not comfortable it can distract student from learning.

-Acoustic treatment -electric socket in floor, it will allow student to charge their laptop or equipment in different part of the studio by having number of electric sockets in floor.

- Computers - Printers that can print in large sizes & 3d printer -Wed system to see the books that are available in the library -Electronic Charging area -Smart ID card that are provided for student and staff member, it allows to open lockers and enter some areas in the school. also, it can take student class attendance.

-Acoustic treatment to prevent the noise for the machine from reaching to the other spaces.

-arcade games -Musical tools

2.3 Survey Questionnaire: Data and Analysis

Introduction: Designing a teens center needs deep information about teens thinking and needs, and to know that we need to search about them, ask them, and get closer to them.

The following questionnaire was created for teenagers in order to gather information about them and give them a space to express their feelings and needs in order to help us design a proper center that can benefit them. More than 300 people responded to our poll, and the results are as follows :

59

Chart 1: showing the percentage of respondents' gender .

Chart 2: It shows the percentage of respondents' ages, and there are a lot of respondents of different ages.

We note that most of the respondents are from the age of 17, then 16, 15, and 14, which indicates that the number of teens of these ages is the majority in Bahrain.

60

Chart 3: shows that 66.9 percent of respondents spend their time on the phone, 11.7 percent read books, 11 percent exercise, and 10.4 percent do other activities such as video games, learning, and working.

As previously stated, many teenagers spend most of their time on their phones, and this can result in a weak generation that has no idea about their skills or identity, as a result of a lack of centers that enable them to spend their free time discovering and developing their skills.

61

Chart 4: 39.9 percent of respondents prefer phone or gameplay, 20.8 percent like to sit with their friends, 15.2 percent prefer to hang out, 12.5 percent prefer to hang out with their family, 8.6 percent prefer to read, and the remaining 3 percent prefer to do other activities.

This question backs up question 3, which reveals that most teens prefer to spend their time playing on their phones.

Chart 5: In this question, we asked them how many hours per week they spend with their friends to find out what percentage of their social relationship is. We see that 33.4% of adolescents do not spend time with their friends, 27.8% spend more than 5 hours with them, 19.5% from 3 to 4 hours, and 19.2% from 1 to 2 hours. This indicates that many teenagers suffer from social problems because they do not spend any time with their friends, as a result of the lack of places that can make them meet friends.

Chart 6: In the question, they have been asked about their hobbies, and if they have any. About more than half of them do not have one or are still not sure about it. That could indicate low selfcare and not knowing themselves. However, it is still a good indicator that approximately 44% of them could identify their preferable and identity.

62

Chart 7: Here we left space for them to write down their hobbies and what they love to do and here are some examples. This question provided a space for them to write whatever they like. And fortunately, they responded to it well. That shows that teens need some space to give their opinions and express their thoughts. In addition, it shows how they think about hobbies and life and how they can relieve their stresses by those.

Chart 8: Here we can see that 66.6% of the respondents have already thought about their future while 33.4 are not. For teens who have thought about it, it should be so confusing and pressuring, as in this age, parents tend to pressurize their kids to be successful as well as the pressure in schools and life, which can have bad or good effects on them. However, the side effect of this pressure can be also on teens who did not think about it, as there are some who tend to avoid thinking to escape that pressure.

63

Chart 9: Here we left space for them to write down their what they want to be in the future and here are some examples.

Chart 10: This chart depicts the factors that influence their decisions about their future. We can see that the most thing influence their decisions is the peer-pressure that is caused by all the surrounding people, like parents, friends, people in social media and the culture they grow up in.

64

Chart 11: this question is an open question for them to give them a space to write what they really need if they have the authority to design a space for them , and here some examples for their response.

This question is very important as it shows all their needs, and it shows what are the things teens nowadays want that it could be not provided in their region.

65

Analysis: We found that a lot of teens, 66.9% of them, tend to spend most of their time on the phone, and prefer to play on phones or play games. As a result of the lack of places for them where they can spend their time doing something they really like as teens, so, we found that designing a center for them with activities they like will benefit them, we also notice that a significant number of the 33.4% do not spend time with their friends, resulting in bad social connections with others, so they need a space that makes their social relationship strong with others.

There was a good response about hobbies, with 44.2 percent responding that they have hobbies, 31.7 percent not knowing what their interests are, and 15.5 percent not sure if they have a hobby or not, which is a large percentage that suffers from not having a hobby or not knowing that they have one, which a huge amount of teens have problems with knowing or having hobbies, they need to know what they really want and like, so, having a center will allow them to have a freedom choice to choose their interests and learn about themselves more.

The most important question was about future, and 66.6 percent responded that they had thought about their future and told us what they wanted to be in the future. However, we discovered that 35.5 percent of their choices were influenced by social media, while 26.8 percent were influenced by culture, and 24.5 percent were influenced by their parents, and a very small number of them chose that they really like that job and want to do it, and the influence is themselves. future is not easy, teens need to be more satisfied with themselves, knowing what they really like and want to do in their life to put a plan for their future, and that comes when they learn more about themselves and their identity.

66

In the final question, we gave them the space to write whatever they wanted if they had the authority to design a space for teens, and most of their answers were that they want a space where they can feel free, mentally safe, and express their feelings, and a place where they can have fun with lots of activities they like with friends, meeting new friends and socializing with others. They want a space that makes them feel like they're in their own world, where they can enjoy their life and evolve. and that was our main aim which having a place that makes them feel free, do whatever they want, learn more about themselves, practice and develop their interest to be more satisfied with themselves.

67

Conclusion: In conclusion, we learned from the survey that we need to consider the emotions of teenagers and design a space for them that allows them to express themselves, socialize with others, and practice their hobbies or learn new hobbies in order to build a personality that can rely on itself and determine its future, and believing in themselves and feeling that there is no need to be influenced by anyone other than themselves by designing a space that includes lots of activities that make them learn and enjoy.

68

2.4 Interviews: Data and Analysis

Introduction: We looked for interviews with teen experts and found two in TED x talks, one by Laurence Lewars.

He is a member of his school's student council and a leader in his school's Model United Nations Club, and Raj Raghunathan is a writer and professional who has produced a lot of books on happiness and has firsthand knowledge of teenagers. These two interviews are about teens, their needs, and happiness, and how we may get to know them so that we can design a place for them that will help them.

69

Main body: Teenagers suffer a multitude of challenges, according to (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021), the most pressing of which are low self-esteem, self-belief, and a lack of self-fulfillment. According to (Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) research, the number of unhappiness increases in teenagers' age, with the top reasons being unreasonably high pressure to perform and too much time spent on screens, specifically social media.

Teenagers are difficult to cope with, according to a (Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) with 300,000 responses from all around the world reflecting self-esteem for all ages and it indicates that the teens have the worse days in terms of how they feel of bad feelings inside themselves daily. Furthermore, according to (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021), many teenagers are too self-conscious to communicate their dreams or do not feel comfortable talking about themselves. Moreover, they are upset and uncertain about their future. According to his research, 78 percent of teens choose to be doctors, engineers, or lawyers in order to receive excellent responses from others. we live in a world in which it has become the norm for us to believe that one's dream is unreasonable or unrealistic. So, we live in a boring cycle in which dreams take a back seat to jobs and passion takes a back seat to production, and we go from day to day, repeating the same cycle.

(Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) says that teenagers' depression and anxiety are a social and worldwide problem, particularly now that it is so easy due to the internet, teens compare their lives to those of others their age, and as a result, they are unhappy with their own.

70

Teenagers' emotions and feelings are very significant since, as (Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) stated, they have huge mood swings and are dissatisfied virtually every day. This is reflected in their lives, as (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021) explained, as teenagers lose their ambition to go to school and lack the passion to be taking their courses, and they are losing their dreams because society created a norm that affects us through media, education, and family by placing an emphasis on certain jobs, so all the teens feel that they must follow it in order to be successful and earn money.

According to (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021), when he asked the teenagers about their education, the answers were that they go to school to learn and get a job and make a good living for themselves and be successful to get money, but they forgot to talk about what they really want, their dreams and their passion, and no one said that he really loves or is interested in going to school, and the reason was the very old methods of education that imposed teenagers to take information and memorize it.

Also, when he questioned them about their dreams, everyone stopped talking; some of them had no idea because no one had ever asked them before, and some of them had dreams but felt they couldn't attain them or didn't know-how.

Teenagers, according to (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021), want to feel significant, they want to build a name for themselves, they want to feel their identity, and they do not want to be struggling or have a horrible financial situation. And, as (Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) stated, for teenagers to be happy, they must choose something they are passionate about and enjoy doing, as well as engage in activities that make them feel good.

71

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the two interviews inspired us a lot, Teenagers are a very sensitive age group, and we must try to understand them and understand what truly makes them happy. As (Raising Happy Teenagers | Raj Raghunathan | TEDxUTAustin, 2021) stated in the interview, we must use love and compassion to motivate teenagers, and (Questions Every Teenager Needs to Be Asked | Laurence Lewars | TEDxDhahranHighSchool, 2021), we must give them the freedom to choose what they truly want to achieve for their dreams.

Also, these two interviews helped us a lot in understanding the teenagers and who they are and what they really want. As a result, it will help us design a place with lots of activities for this age group, allowing them to focus on themselves rather than using screens to feel more satisfied about themselves, as well as giving them the freedom to choose what they really want to do, discover their dreams, or grow up their dreams to feel significant and find their identity.

72

2.5 Observation: Data and Analysis

Introduction: Observation is the recording of data about human behavior in space and how it is affected by the environment and activities.

Because there are no centers for teenagers in Bahrain or anywhere else in the world, we conducted our observation at the Wonderdal center, which is a center for children aged 5 to 13.

In the following, we will discuss what the spaces are and how the interaction between users in the space was according to AEIOU design thinking.

Wonderdal is an immersive and interactive edutainment experience that combines learning with play by combining innovative design, award-winning educational resources, and world-class technology. Children aged 5 to 13 may explore the realms of science, nutrition, and nature at Wonderdal through a range of indoor and outdoor activity zones. Young explorers can look forward to a delightful day out experiencing a world of wonder and knowledge with the colorful Amuki characters by their side and trained WonderPals to oversee.

Observation Conclusion: In conclusion, observation allows us to understand the user's needs even if they are not the same age by noting the smallest details hidden between users' behaviors in the space, and the design of the spaces, as well as the good interaction about the activities, which will allow us to build a successful edutainment center for teens.

79

2.6. Conclusion By the Massive data analysis, observation, technological challenges, questionnaire preparation, interviews, and research this study intends to promote awareness of teenager issues and the need for a safe space where they can learn, have fun, and express themselves.

As we are interior designers, and our goal is to design a stable place that suits the user's needs, we have made a great understanding of this data to use it in our project, as information to help us create a more pleasant atmosphere for teens that suits their needs. Moreover, the analysis of the literature helped us to understand in detail the requirements for the educational entertainment center, its types, and design, as well as the ideal division of zones for them, also the technical issues that assisted us in understanding the acoustic issues and the technology that these kinds of spaces required.

It was useful for the interviews since it provided us about the user and their way of thinking, as well as what they need, so we could know how to deal with them when designing space for them.

Regarding the questionnaire, we left enough space for them to say what they want and how they feel about many things, which helped us to learn and notice many things that they want, such as spaces for them to express themselves and practice their hobbies and what they like, among other things. In terms of observation, we noticed the smallest things hidden among user behaviors in space so that we could design a successful center for teens.

Palace of schoolchildren is a youth centre 83

BUILDING FORM: General information: located in Astana, Kazakhstan Designed by: Studio 44 Architects Project location:Bauyrzhan Momyshuly Avenue, Astana, Kazakhstan Area: 18700 m2 Built in 2011,

-a round roof opening above the hearth. The lowest level is made up of individual boxes with traditional ornaments that are neatly stacked on top of one another to form tiered "hills." The Form, the complex's major public and recreational space, is formed by a three-story space between them, which is covered by a cylindrical container.

The desire to create a family atmosphere in an out-of-school education and recreation centre led to the concept of replicating the centrally planned structure of the Kazakh yurt with its shanyrak.

The location is close to the houses and the city, which makes the connection to it very easy Figure38:Palace of schoolchildren is a youth center

Project study:

97

Design philosophy : • • •

The design includes the facade as well as the incorporation of the skating rink.

The knowledge that the facade would invariably be splattered with graffiti was a second principle.

A third principle was the flexibility in use of the building, and especially its floor plan.

The design includes the facade as well as the incorporation of the skating rink. The cradle, which is visible from the street, is integrated into the facade. As a result, the facade and skate pool merge into a single entity.

Figure45:Kavel K / Carve

Figure46:Kavel K / Carve

98

the understanding that graffiti will inevitably be sprayed on the building's facade Rather than perceiving this as an issue, the design foresees it. The facade is made up of massive concrete components with a 'braille pattern' pressed into them. The graffiti can be removed, but the recessed circles remain apparent. As a result, the facade transforms into a canvas on which the history is reflected through an everchanging color pattern.

The interior was created in consultation with the intended users and was kept basic and durable.

Clean facade

Figure47:Kavel K / Carve

A different color was used for the core and the floor.

Large sliding doors around the center allow the area to be divided in a variety of ways.

Conclusion :

In conclusion, the case study shows how edutainment center areas might be divided to improve user interaction and enjoyment. Also, the design of the places and the atmosphere might have an impact on the users.

In my opinion, the place is quite interesting, has interesting activities, the lines are very powerful and interesting, especially for attracting kids, and the lighting was pleasant and varied, making the space not boring. However, I think that the space should include some colors in addition to the natural colors, such as blue, red, yellow, or green, to make the space more attractive without losing the sense of nature in it. Additionally, the space should include some attractive functions or decorations, such as motivational drawings on the walls of the private rooms or the dancing room, or perhaps candy boxes on the exit wall to allow them to express their feelings when they finish and exit the place.

The case study will have a significant impact on my design because it will help me understand the organization of the components in the space, materials, and lighting, and how this can affect the users. It will also help me understand how can I design an edutainment space with activities and decorations that can attract and inspire the user.

-Many windows and the sky lights , provide a sense of energy replenishment as well as inspiration and relaxation , especially in sporting facilities, -The process of changing or replacing the air in a space to modify the temperature or eliminate moisture, odor, smoke, heat, dust, and airborne bacteria is referred to as ventilation. The exchange of air with the outside and its circulation within the building is referred to as ventilation. One of the most critical aspects of preserving indoor air quality in buildings is ventilation.

131

Positive -the color is beautiful to attract them.

-There are a lot of activities, and the place almost supports most of the hobbies Negative - Because the site is long and narrow, with the train on one side and a busy road, Gersonsvej, on the other, there was a noise problem to overcome.

-In comparison to the extent of the space, there are just a few bathrooms.

-They didn't do anything with the ceiling height.

-There is no elevator, so the place does not support people with special needs Conclusion : This study has been extremely beneficial to me in terms of understanding their needs, identifying the components in the space where I should place them, and understanding how to design each space, including the colors I should use, the materials, the furniture, and the lighting, as well as learning about the flaws in the space that I should avoid. This research taught me how to create a welcoming environment and how to attract consumers to it.

4.6 Design guidelines Introduction : Designing a center for teens is not easy according to the research, interviews, and surveys that have been done, teens have certain needs that make them want to join the center. So, we must design a space that suits them well, a center for them that includes many comfortable and attractive aspects in order to achieve the goal of our project.

Designing a center has lots of guidelines such as: 1. CREATE A COMFORTABLE SETTING :

-Allow for plenty of natural light

Figure100:examples for design guideline

207

-Use doors and windows that look like they belong in a home

-Create a welcoming atmosphere at the entryway.

-Use various textures, and colors

2. PROMOTE CREATIVITY : -Incorporate teen feedback throughout the design process.

-Make performance space available.

-Make room for young people's artwork to be displayed.

Figure101:examples for design guideline

208

3. PROMOTE AUTONOMY : -Allow for independent access to the food bar, restrooms, and games.

-Make room for group discussion.

4. ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE FOR STAFF AND ADULTS : -Provide a place to think, plan, and meet; welcome visitors; and store equipment, personal items, records, and assets.

-Computers, television, friends, and a peaceful environment

-Create a setting that encourages family participation during meetings, special events, and activities focusing on the family.

Figure103:examples for design guideline

4.7 Conclusion In conclusion, after we have gathered all the information and analyzed all the components, we also understood the user and its needs and the area used for each place as well as the guidelines required like all the needs are met and a healthy environment is created for teenagers through flexible furniture, colors, lighting, views, and various components and activities, there will be a strong motivation to spend a lot of time in the center for learning, meeting friends, and playing. They will feel relaxed and will have a sense of belonging in the space. So, we will be able to design a place with a healthy and comfortable environment that serves and suffices the needs of users while also attracting them.

BUILDING AND SPACE ANALYSIS

211

5.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will analyze the site and building space that we will use to design our teens center. We will learn more about the site through its graphical analysis, location, climate and direction. We will analyze the building by its size, style, structure and interior space, and discuss the zoning of the plan according to each member of the group and its type of center. However, given all this information and analysis, we will be able to design the center at the design stage.

212

5.2 Site analysis 5.2.1 Graphical site analysis: The site is in Bahrain Bay in Manama. It is a quiet area overlooking the sea. The site is not fully built, there are lands they are preparing to build next to our site, also a power station and the BBU.

Map analysis

213

5.2.2 Location: The site is located in Bahrain Bay. Overlooking the sea, the road to the site is very easy

There are workers in the place and this indicates inconvenience

Paragon Utilities

it's located in Manama 26.255249, 50.583970

Rd 4609 The colour blue is the guideline

214

5.2.3 Orientation and climate: Climate in Bahrain: Bahrain's climate is desert, with mild winters and scorching summers.

There are basically two seasons: a colder season from December to February and a hot season from April to October, with a very hot period from May to mid-October.

March and November are transitional months, with temperatures that are moderate but not excessive. The temperature difference between night and day is small due to the impact of the sea, and humidity is high, especially when winds blow from the interior of Arabia.

215

Manama :

Chart 17: climate

In Bahrain, the prevailing wind is the Shamal, which is wet and blows from the northwest more commonly during the summer months. Another hot and dry wind, the Qaws, can blow all year, but preferably in spring; it blows from the south and can raise temperatures to about 30 °C (86 °F) in winter and to about 40 °C (104 °F) and above from April to October, while drastically lowering relative humidity; it can also cause dust and sandstorms. Most of the rain falls during the winter months, however it is erratic, and there may be some severe rainfalls in winter that, if concentrated in a few hours, might trigger flash floods.

The sun shines all year in Bahrain.

216

The sea in Bahrain is unquestionably warm in the summer, but it is only cool from January to March, when temperatures dip to 20/21 °C (68/70 °F).

Food Festival is temporarily located at the end of this street, the smell may also come from it

220

5.2.4 On site characters: The location overlooks Bahrain Bay's beach and has a one-access road. A building is under construction to the left of the site, and BBU is directly in front of it. The site boasts a great view of the sea, and people come to enjoy the scenery. People also enjoy sea sports such as riding boats and beach buggies. There is a power station nearby, although it is not particularly close as well as the food festival guest parking.

221

222

5.3 Building analysis 5.3.1 Shape and Size : To make the area more dynamic and interesting, the plan was designed with 3 main curved volume.

The structure has three floors: the ground floor, mezzanine floor, and second floor.it also has a parking, playground, and garden.

223

5.3.2 Type of Structure: The building from the outside is symmetrical. It has many windows and visible columns. It can be seen mixing between straight and circular lines to support the shape of the external place, which gives the person a sense of vitality.

You can see the foundation and the beams in the section, while the columns are wider than the size of the wall, so they can be easily noticed and the design of the place will be easier The structure is made of concrete

224

5.6.1 Positive Critics: 1- The site is a wonderful spot since it is quiet and has a beautiful sea view, so teens can feel satisfied, peaceful, and relaxed.

2- Because the site is not in an educational space, teens will not be nervous when they come, and they will not feel as if they are going to school, which will prevent them from being dissatisfied.

3- The building is massive, and it contains a variety of activities that benefit children.

4- The building contains an outdoor garden where children may play and have fun.
