A PROPOSED BIOPHILIC

RESIDENTIAL
COMMUNITY FOR
VULNERABLE
CHILDREN

TOWARDS THE ENHANCEMENT OF CHILDRENS


COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Fe Isabel A. Adarne

BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
44% of all Filipino children are living in poverty under the
age of 15. A 4 percentage points increase in the figure
for three years result to increase equivalent to
approximately one million additional poor children.

VULNERABLE CHILDREN
LOUKIA AGATHOKLEOUS

An average of 2.6 months that children spend in a


Romanian Orphanage cost them a month of normal
growth.
Children that enter the orphanage in a very young age had
dramatically lower IQs and levels of brain activity.
Institutionalized children are more likely to have social,
emotional and behavioral problems, such as aggressive
behavior, lack of concentration and hyperactivity.

THE RISK OF HARM TO YOUNG CHILDREN IN


INSTITUTIONAL CARE
KEVIN BROWNE

The human interaction, either visual or physical is very important for


the child development, if this interaction is negligible, some parts
of the childs brain have never been triggered and this can
easily cause lower IQs.

STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
According to Ng Suet Yuan Vivian
(2012), problematic orphanages
include the following:
Example of congested
dining space of an
orphanage.

1. congested space
2. inappropriate design such as the
interior and exterior
3. dull environment

Empty interior design with


loose furniture which is
not well-maintained.

4. unsuitable space planning and


circulation
5. less interaction between the
orphans and the society

S i m p l e a n d s t i ff f a c a d e .

STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
1.

What kinds of spaces does this type of residential care


institution need today?

2.

What is the appropriate design that will help engage in


public interaction?

3.

What is the appropriate design to achieve a proper built


environment for the children to improve their social,
physical and emotional growth?

AIMS OF THE PROPOSAL


1. Enhance their needed human
development
2. Integration of both the public
and orphan youth.
3. Applying design innovation to
boost the creativity, productivity,
cognitive and psychological
development of the children.
4. Design towards creating healthy
and productive environments.

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

Positive
environmental
impact

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY

Awareness to the public about the social welfare institutions


that need attention by the people.

Improve the built environment for the vulnerable children

Developing the independent, social and emotional growth of


each orphan child.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION


The architectural design of existing residential
care institution and the behaviour of the orphans
in the community.
Understanding the space planning and the exterior
and interior design of the existing building
The study will be limited to institutionalized
children in their community

ASSUMPTIONS

Increase adoption and recognition to the children of the


orphanage of not being just an orphans, but children with potential
and skills.

Increase their educational and social skill and to also


improve the well-being.

A positive design impact to the built environment.

CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK

WHAT KINDS OF SPACES DOES AN


ORPHANAGE NEED, TODAY?

VALERIE RACHEL HERRERA

1. Residential
2. Educational
3. Cultural
4. Communal

WHAT KINDS OF SPACES HAVE


ORPHANAGES TRADITIONALLY PROVIDED?
- VALERIE RACHEL HERRERA

Orphanages have traditionally provided


children in its care with :
shelter

bedrooms

bathrooms

dining

living room

library

occasionally in-house schooling

outdoor spaces

gathering space (usually chapel or small


auditorium).

These spaces typically separated the


orphan youth by age, gender, race, and
class.

WHAT LIMITATIONS DID THESE SPACES


PRODUCE AND THIS LIMITED IDEA OF
ORPHANAGE PRODUCE?
- VALERIE RACHEL HERRERA

BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Design innovation for places where we live, work,
and learn that reconnects us to the natural world
NATURE- DESIGN RELATIONSHIPS:
Nature in the space: direct, physical and
ephemeral presence of nature in a space or place.
Natural Analogues: organic, nonliving and
indirect evocation of nature.
Nature of the space: addresses spatial
configurations in nature.

14 PATTTERNS OF BIOPHILIC DESIGN

CASE STUDY
INTERIOR

EXTERIOR

NEED ANALYSIS
A play in the environment both indoor and outdoor.
Activities where children can explore and increase
their social development.
Design aimed for higher standard to provide a
better environment of the children to have a
higher human development.

CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Institutionalized children receive delay in their
social and cognitive growth are less expressive.
Recommendations:
Design approach to have the target users to be
exposed.
Every institutional care facilities must have a
communal area for the public for social
interaction with the children.
Implication of Green design approach.

CONCEPT
DEVELOPMENT

CENTRAL PLACE
-WALTER CHRISTALLER
Settlements distributed
along hexagonal patterns
can most efficiently cover a
uniform and plane field,
minimizing the distance of
any particular location
from the nearest
settlement center

Asserted that settlements


simply functioned as
central places providing
services to surrounding
areas.

CORALS
Corals in the aquatic world
are communities for sea
creatures where they are
supplied with food and
other neccessities, thus
will be applicable for a
community design such as
the proposed residential
community for the
vulnerable children.
The concept of the coral
community will be applied
on the biomorphic form of
the structure through the
combination of its
geometric pattern, and
vibrant colors to achieve
the objective of having a
playful environment for the
users.

Hexagonal Pattern from Walter Cristallers


Central place, and from the geometric shape
of the coral

Circulation is within the edges of the


hexagons

Vertical an horizontal allocation of each zones

Each space has many outdoor opportunity

STRUCTURAL
CONCEPT
Matt Foundation
Matt foundation will be used as a
sustainable approach in the structural
design. It also supports all type of
structure and is a safe design for soft
soils. This structural concept utilizes the
decrease in the loads of the structure.
Post and Lintel
This will be applied in structural
framework with the materials of steel and
concrete for the framings. The outer skin
will comprise of light materials such as
wood and glass, together with concrete.

STRUCTURAL
CONCEPT
Louvers - Passive Ventilation
Below shows the typical bay section
of the louver design application on
walls, windows, and ceilings. The
design aims to encourage passive
ventilation to decrease the use of
technological approach to cooling
such as air conditioning or electric
fan. This is increases the use of
natural lighting to lessen the use of
artificial lighting. The types of
louvers will be applied depending on
the orientation.

STRUCTURAL
CONCEPT

Green / Living wall installation


As a biophilic design approach, the
use of green walls will be highly used
on the design of the structure. The
most economic design will be the use
of recycled bottles placed either on a
wood container or hanged on a wired
fence

UTILITY CONCEPT
Grey water collection system funnel
roof and Reuse/Recycling system
Water collected from the grey water
resources and rainwater resourced
such as from roof gutters will be
distributed to green walls or other
source of greeneries to automatically
water the plants. Excess water can
also be stored in a cistern tank for
future use.

ELECTRICAL CONCEPT
Indirect lighting
The concept of Indirect lighting will
be used in achieving a additional
effect on a relaxing environment for
the users, especially at living or
communal areas.
