Little Migratory Bird Home Building Program - Spatial Reconstruction of Community Belonging for Mobile Children Based on the Concept of Child Participation

A child is an independent person and the future and hope of a country. The growth of children and their environment influence each other.  For migrant children who follow their parents to the city, they build their awareness and identity of themselves, their families, their communities and even society in a more marginal urban living environment in order to grow and develop themselves. This design work focuses on the migrant children in Changban Urban village.  They account for more than 50% of all children, and compared to local children, they are less satisfied with the village environment, have fewer regular playmates, and want more space for activities.  We propose the program, Little Migratory Bird Family Building Program, hoping to guide children to participate in community building through play and promote their social relationship with local children.  This transformation process will not be done overnight, but in multiple sessions, and the designers will continue to intervene to respond to the new influx of migrant children.  Each "home building strategy" is divided into the first stage, which focuses on the transformation of physical space, and the second stage, which focuses on the construction of collaborative relationships.  Space transformation+relationship building is what we understand by "building a family", hoping that every migrant child can build a sense of belonging in Changban village.
