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.

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.
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.

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
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.
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
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.
