dc.description.abstractMany families today face significant challenges in maintaining healthy and consistent parent-child relationships, particularly in situations involving custody disputes, family separation, or supervised visitation mandates. These circumstances often increase emotional stress for both parents and children, highlighting the need for thoughtfully designed spaces that can mitigate these challenges and foster positive interactions. This practicum focuses on the design of a supervised visitation centre, a space that facilitates safe and supportive interactions between families navigating challenging circumstances. The project integrates the concept of mise-en-scène to craft an immersive environment where the spatial elements actively contribute to fostering comfort, engagement, and emotional security for both children and adults. The incorporation of diverse design approaches, including themed visitation rooms, ensures the centre's adaptability to a variety of ages, personality types, and emotional needs. Rooted in Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), the design emphasizes the creation of an environment that supports positive developmental interactions. Recognizing the importance of a close parent-child relationship, the centre is designed to strengthen emotional bonds by providing opportunities for guided interactions. This concept informs the spatial and functional organization of the centre, emphasizing opportunities for guided growth through collaborative experiences between non-custodial parents and children. With a variety of spaces, the centre seeks to serve as a model for effective visitation facilities that prioritize emotional well-being, developmental progress, and the nurturing of strong family connections.
