Nour is our protagonist. Her point of view defines our approach. Nour comes from the harsh outsice for a better life. Nour has needs anc desires: to sleep, to eat, to play, to learn... to live and experience her world. Hense, this project is a transitional phase: Nour arrives as a child, and leaves as a responsible community member. Thus, the spatial experience is maximized and shaped by Nour's playful interaction potential.
Nour defines her own journey.
