For decades, numerous countries have been witnessing the Street Children
phenomenon where millions of children worldwide are subjected to risks.
Despite the crucial role of intermediate non-residential interventions - using
drop-in centers- in protecting and rehabilitating street children, there is a
paucity of research addressing the quality of design of these centers and how
architecture might influence their operational process. Those observations
invite investigating drop-in centers used in practice from a design perspective
and question adapting architectural applications for humanitarian
emergencies, focusing on “Child-Friendly Spaces”. The study aims to provide
solutions for better quality design, facilitating operational challenges. The
methodology undertakes the investigation through primary and secondary
axes. This involves conducting literature and international precedents review
and secondarily, an Egyptian contextual first-hand documentation and
qualitative analysis of selected centers.
