Two extremes of maturity: Between fawning and destructive interference

Observing relationships between generations, I often saw the same drama: when parents have no point of support of their own, they inevitably fall into one of two extremes. Some begin to fawn over their children, afraid to say an extra word and playing someone else's roles — just so as not to be lost, just so that at least a drop of attention is shown to them.

Others choose the opposite, even more dangerous path — they become overly active in the life of the young family. Knowing neither the true circumstances nor what is actually happening between two hearts, they intrude with their advice, judgments and orders.

When creating the architecture of the Golden World, I wanted to give the older generation the chance to feel their own inner support again and to sense that they can and should live their own lives. It is a closed space of meaning, where a person no longer needs to ingratiate themselves for attention, nor to assert themselves by interfering in the family of their children.
