Year 3 Studio Project, 2022 - 2023 &rchitecture Atelier - The Social Inclusivity Atelier

The Burnley Family Reconciliation Centre endeavours to restore harmony amongst families affected by divorce through a captivating blend of creativity and formality. By immersing individuals in a carefully crafted physical space, this sanctuary eliminates the necessity for conventional counselling approaches, striving instead to kindle reconciliation through interactive and introspective means. Within its walls, vibrant activity areas facilitate the rekindling of love and kinship as children engage with one another, defusing tension and granting couples the opportunity to reconnect and seek reconciliation. Simultaneously, the inclusion of tranquil reflection gardens offers serene havens for contemplation, enabling couples to introspectively evaluate their relationships whilst their children revel in the buildings nurturing atmosphere. Through the harmonious integration of these methods, the Burnley Family Reconciliation Centre holisticly provides a path to familial reconciliation, all within the confines of its architecturally inspired environment.
