Urban and Suburban Children’s Educational and Gaming Complexes with Agricultural Themes from Reusable Shipping Containers

Urban residents and especially children have limited contact with nature and are not sufficiently informed about the main problems of its protection and preservation. One of the aspects of increasing the environmental awareness of urban children is to familiarize them with the specifics of agricultural production. A significant problem in organizing agricultural-themed children’s gaming complexes is the creation of an appropriate infrastructure for exhibiting natural and agricultural processes and servicing visitors. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the use of used sea containers for facilities of educational and gaming infrastructure. An important characteristic of such containers is the ability to use them both individually and in various quantitative and combinatorial ways, forming the buildings necessary for exhibiting and servicing. The use of combined container groups makes it possible to organize appropriate temporary or permanent educational and gaming complexes in free territories within cities or suburbs, bringing them as close to consumers as possible. The children’s educational and game complex with agricultural themes is a set of organizationally and spatially interconnected buildings and structures that ensure the display of agricultural production processes based on the active participation of visitors.
