ABSTRACT Rehabilitation center for street children must work prolifically and with high efficiency level to achieve its intended goal. A major factor affecting that is the buildings architectural capability. To conclude the strategy and guidelines to establish a productive and thriving rehabilitation center, appropriate design issues were considered and carefully studied. Data gathering was through various channel. One was visiting the hope village in Cairo and interviewing some of the children and working staff. The second channel was by accessing surveys done by the governmental programs. Some global case studies were analyzed to have a better understanding of the project. It was found that, not only homeless or orphan children are in need of a rehabilitation center, but there are a countless cases that require it. Cases such as child labor, child abuse, illiteracy and children in critical health conditions. Designing a rehabilitation center should include, not only shelter, but spaces for education, medical care areas and recreational spaces. To provide the child with all their missing needs under one roof. For them to give back to the community and be an asset not a burden.

INTRODUCTION

every person aged between 5 and 17 years old. As they are considered to be the foundation stone in society construction .Children's do have a basic needs in their own life that must be provided for them to have an appropriate one . When wee look on children's around the global we see that they are facing many problems , like ; poverty, violence, poor education, early marriage , homeless . But the one we are going to focus on in this book is HOMLESS “ STREET CHILDREN “, as they present 2% in global , spreading in all five continent , largely in third world countries . (1)

CHILD

Lots of Street children institutions appeared to discus and help the issue of street children ,, one of them is UNICEF As they defined street children's in three conditions : 1. “Street living children: children who ran away from their families and live alone on the street. 2. Children from street families: children who live on the streets with their families. 3. Street working children: children who spend most of their time on the streets, fending for themselves, but returning home on a regular basis.” (2)

Children's do have rights , but the one’s who don’t get their full rights written in constitution because they are often ignored or ripped from them , were classified as “street children's” Government ignores the difficulty of street children as they , don’t effect economy , can’t vote , and the most important that they aren't aware of their rights or can defend themselves . Street children do effect society as they give, uncivilized impression ,weaking the security and political immovability , treating economic achievement , and the most important one that they are spreading the infection to other poor children's who are going through such situations. Which gives us the reason to find solutions for this problem as fast as we can . In order to find solutions for this phenomena we have to look into the causes that lead these children to go into streets . So when we digged in we found that causes are related to three main categories ,in order, family, local community, and general society . When we thought about solutions , we found that there is two ways to solve this phenomena ; either by PREVENTION ,which counts basically on : government, society, and family. Or CORRECION , which can be done also in two ways; awareness and rehabilitation .

Rehabilitation

It is the mean of restoring something into itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original form that should be like . We mean by rehabilitating street childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, transforming them from being a child that begs, work , suffering from bad health and education , into an well educated , healthy one. In order to do that we have to provide them a well prepared space, that able us to achieve our aims for these children's , we call it in architecture STREET REAHBILITATION CENTER .

Why do we need such centers ? street children rehabilitation center frees the society from this phenomena , as they built a good foundation for the country, We all know that when we build a good educated know ledged children's we make a good youth , and by that we raise several sides in community and state .

Rehabilitation centers work on developing the child , through : provision , protection, and participation. .

GOALS : 2.1 Promote the cultural values for them 2.2Provide formal and vocational education 2.3Developing the spiritual to increase their habits behavior and attitudes 2.4 Increase the social community by attention , helping and providing the equitable environment like the tradition child 2.5Change the negative attitude of the society towards street children, 2.6 Build the capacity of the personnel working in the field, 2.7Remove the child from the streets and build his capacities to be better integrated. (3)

This can be done through : 1. 2. 3. 4.

Vocational Training and Employment Educational Programs Recreational, Cultural & Religious Programs Discovering the available chances for street children and the community (4)

DESIGN ISSUES

Discussed the elements of architectural for Rehabilitation center and study the network functional between elements and study the motion paths for each of the children and administrators , also what it takes to achieve the interior spaces of center and furniture and corridors of movement .

COMFORT Definition general : we express it as the feeling of rest safety, security , and well being . Architecture : Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Physiological and Physical conditions . Fig 2-1 These center have graduating a soft materials and cool color with a central atrium Connecting with different functional zoning

Fig 2-2 comfort furniture with soft color and material

Brief the comfort in design issues consist of audibility convenience, and privacy . That can be Achieved through : 1.Location of the rehabitation center, determine the comfort in the workplace and treatment rooms by functional zoning .see fig ( 2-1) 2. Furniture must be supported by nice colors and soft material for children . see fig (2-2). 3.Light must let for the easy viewing , without strong glare . 4.Isolating the rooms to get more comfortable and privacy.

AUDIBILITY Definition

Fig 2-3 the Center should be allowed to choose. Building style with experiment loud need to provide audibility control by walls or flooring and ceiling materials.

Fig 2-4contribute to Audibility effectively understand speech, which Can not be achieved only by creating a perfect balance between effective audibility and sound quality . For example closed playing area and library and theater

General : it is the ability to hear the sound In nature . architecture : its is the phonetic requirements of building, or their demand for echo control and sound insulation.

Brief audibility is very important for architectural style, privacy and comfort design of rehabilitation centers. in rehabilitation centers we must provide quiet zones and interactive learning areas that are designed within an appropriate sound levels through isolation or insulation Classes and meeting rooms need only acoustic privacy, which can be designed with insulating glass and walls . see fig (2-3) the sound control in working place can be achieved by zoning the same activity sound intensity with each other and providing quiet areas for retreat from noise .

FLEXIBILITY Definition general : Flexibility is the ability to sprain and redesign without breaking. Architecturally : it can be defined as changing room shapes to suite with different functions. Fig 2-5 These rooms are designed with high flexibility .the L shaped or Square rooms allow for more flexibility in arrangement of furniture and internal space

Fig 2-6

Brief This issue is very important in rehabilitation as it allows in areas to be used for different activities , technology, experiments. Children centers must have the ability of changing room functions and future extensions on the long way .see fig ( 2-5) flexibility is critical issue in some areas like; work shop ,labs and playing area. It can be achieved by fixed equipment zones, and vertical connection .

PRIVACY Definition general : it is a state in which is not observed by other people. architecture : giving each zone in building the privacy needs .

Types Fig 2-7 This center is created with an innocuous form, with closed offices & partition-closeable labs for private investigation.

Fig 2-8 Open floor offices

There are two types of privacy : 1.Outdoor privacy is the preservation of the whole building from un visibility and access. It can be defined by the landscape or built elements like a fence. Noise insulation provides sound privacy of the children center , while openings must have adjustable controls for changing children center requirements. 2.Indoor privacy can be achieved through: private offices , closed classes see fig (2-7) or compartmentalized open floor plans.

IMAGE Definition

Fig 2-9 The image is a factor which cause the users emotional or psychology processes and position towards a project.

General: is the physical representation or aspect of a person, object photographed ,animal, sculpted, and painted or otherwise made visible. It may be the mental impersonation of something formerly perceived, in the obscurity of the original stimulus. Architecturally : the image is the physical aspect of space or building , or the mental impersonation of space that was experienced.

Brief

Fig 2-10

integration, privacy ,interaction , comfort and architectural image, all that's creates a mood in work places that decreases productivity

The children centers image depend on the function ,and the aim It may mirror the Identity of the city or the life of good child. The building image accord the user a message or the philosophy and tells the story backwards the shapes, ratio and architecture lineaments of the building. occasionally the building image gives the city a new strong identity and makes it distinguished. because it can be recognized by the human sense.

PERSONALIZATION Definition General : it Is the description of the personal qualities of him Architecturally: this can be achieved externally out of children's center image and its signal to the project.

Brief

Fig 2-11 These children center reflected the personalization of children in the flooring material and pattern ,lighting and furniture by using the scheme color

The principle of children center components will be exhibited on the faรงade centers need to feel connected to their environmental work of children This can be done by using a private space to place ,feel in like a family photo, or educational achievements or in interior design to any space . See fig( 2-9) Personalization is a stamp of the Architecture with our identity.

VISIBILITY Definition

Fig 2-12 Clear space for user and visitor

General :Visibility is the ability to be seen beneath given case or distance visual range is the distance in which the given object can be seen . Architectural, visibility is defined as it is the ability to see a space or a building and can be clear to the user form a good distance.

Brief Internally, a rehabilitation center building should be clear for ease of way findings and visual interaction when desired to raise spirit if unity. ( Perkins & will 1995) Fig 2-13 Open space for good visual interaction

CONVENIENCE Definition

Fig 2-14 Pedestrian bridge in downtown Milwaukee connecting a highly populated office building to an underground railway station.

general : is any aspect that saves time, money, energy and effort. Architectural : Interaction with building and socializing in function or faรงade .

Brief Rehabilitation centers are best placed in a highly populated area to be well associated to the urbanized zones. A few factors should be well studied to achieve a high level of convenience, such as: surrounding environment, connection to the community and site choice.

Fig. 2-15

INTERACTION

Fig 2-16 Interaction with the community can be achieved through the attraction points and high visibility education at the center.

Definition General : is the influence through certain condition vision or felt through the senses. It is the direct effect from certain particles or the other elements Architectural : the interaction is the effect caused through the space or the user with the building . Brief the aim of the children center to foster children collaboration with each other , so they should provide chances of interaction, that lead research to a full new level. Public: Interaction with the others is important in increase education in the community, and gaining support . for example the Stairs are unrestrained points of interaction, so they must be wide enough to accept raft. Open plan areas good for team spirit encourage group work . ( peloquin 2006).

Fig 2-17

Conclusion Where as interaction is preferred boundary free building is a utopian concept that is dangerous to the privacy of area work . The design should be provide copy rights for its users.

Resource Management Definition

Fig 2-18

general :Resource management is the optimal approach of allocating resources to reach all the required aspects. In architecture :resources contain funding, working staff, equipment and even spatial organization.

Brief

fig 2_19 Resource Management : is assisted with flexible architecture that can includes the varying densities of users and evolving technologies

Resource management is crucial to the rehabilitation center to make sure that all sector are properly funded and all tools and equipment are available and properly maintained. in design, management plays a role in providing the required rooms & spaces to all sectors like offices, teaching spaces, workshops, rooms and storage areas. Designing is commonly assisted by Resource management programs, to insure the appropriate distribution of supplied and demanded resources.

Maintenance Definition

Fig 2-20 Using natural materials having high initial cost but lower running expense

Fig 2-21

general : is the integration between mechanical and retaining proceedings to preserve a system or an item and keep performing at an optimal level Architecture : Using natural materials in building with its having high initial cost but lower running expense, saving on resources and minimizing operational delays

Brief High maintenance material have low cost but high running cost. Usually these types of projects run on a limited funding so low maintenance materials and systems are better . Such project require an adequate level of maintenance, for it to function properly for the longest period of time.

Durability Definition Fig 2-22 The Cambridge Health Center over required a highly open design to carry out exterior testing. This need was met by a long-lasting metal fabric structure. its flexible and easy to install.

Fig 2-19

Fig 2-23

General : is the ability to resist the stress to breakdown or transformation. architecture : it is the ability of a project, system or a material to preserve its function for more than it is intended to.

Brief Durability and cost have an inversely proportional relationship. High durability leads to low costs due to the low maintenance required. Which is required due to the limited funding found in such projects. Level of durability is based on a couple of factors. The type of system or material, the installation process, the usage and exposure.

SAFETY

General : is the aspect of using systems to help secure and protect from hazardous situations and undesirable accidents. Architectural : it can be achieved by design to be safe for children in zoning or in material used in interior or exterior design Fig 2-24 Fire exist in building

Fig 2-25

Brief Safety is a key aspect in rehabilitation center in order to protect them mentally and physically from the external environment. Fire detection and extinguishing systems should be designed with a very high quality to save the children in case of undesirable situations. Fire escape also plays an important role in such aspect. See fig( 2-15) Air filtration systems should be placed to provide a clean atmosphere and avoid the spread of diseases among the children and working staff. Surveillance systems are required in such project to control and protect the children

SECURITY Definition Fig 2-26 The security in center can be achieved through the design and protection system to be safe on children

General : is the condition become protected from threats, undesirable intrusion, cause of danger. architecture: involves providing monitored own territory so that occupants and to protected any information from stealing.

Brief Security is well controlled through circulation, where in children areas to low privacy zones. The Security personnel need their privet guarding and control rooms in gates and entries to private areas., security alarms, zones, Digital monitoring are binding in high risk research faculties. Private offices and closed labs assist to increase security levels in architecture. (Sundstorm 2006).

Fig 2-27

ENERGY EFFICIENY Definition General : is producing the similar input of energy while output without loss. Architecturally : it can be achieved through using material and production methods that do no required to continuous input of energy and rely on passive incomes for comfort.

Brief Fig 2-28 Wave energy for lighting

Fig 2-29

influences the Energy efficiency economy can be achieved using thermal insulation, relying on natural ventilation , maximizing daylight use in the interiors. and The goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services: 1. Using LED lights. 2. sensors and timers in places ,that are not frequently visited. 3. window films for lowering the heating and cooling , reducing the glares in the interior spaces. 4. Fluorescent tubes used in worker areas 5. Using system energy is the building to help achieve the required working ,environment

ECONOMY

Economically designed for children centers should analyze: 1-Land Resources: to have a successful design the natural resources that lie within that choosing the location must be exploited. 2-Building Material: can be achieved by the knowledge of a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with available building material . Egypt have many of stones and bricks . These materials are not need a lot of money for transfer the material and will too boost national production. 3-Funding: The rehabitation center does not produce a lot of profit to make cash flow needed for further required . 4- Spaces Design: Minimum space needed can be applied to reduce material and building footprint. In zones that not required to complex structures and 13 conventional building will assist to cut down the project construction and maintenance.

CIRCULATION Definition General : circulate from start to finish then back again or move around in circles . architecture :depict patterns of movement in building and their networks , interaction ,determines security, legibility, convenience . Users are split to public customers and staff .

Brief Fig 2-32 Spirited vertical and horizontally

Fig 2-33 the circulation through the lighting

public Users must be easily access to their desirable any area in building without cross the staff circulation. Corridors: Must be in good orientations , size to prevent crowding , fuss and injury. Materials Used in circulation should be durable to resist heavy traffic , sliding resistant to avert injury. Floors we should to choosing the sound absorptive to reduce obstruct the noises. Staff need their private entrances and indoor spaces that may be partly or totally separate from the public for security No crossing occurs amongst pedestrian paths and cars roads. the Circulation must be provide an easy access to different spaces according to the working need . If the rehabitation center is placed on a middle, that gives access to several functions, but cannot be walked on other pedestrian way should be made available.

Types

Fig 2-34 the circulation Through ceiling

1. Vertical : the displacement of people to one level of the building to another, you can go up and go down showing by lighting, material , openings 2. Horizon al : is basically the movement of people from one places to another, staying on the same level inside of a building showing by ceiling , flooring ,masses, furniture .

LEGIBILTY Definition General : its means readability. In Architecture : that is easily used through customers and must have a functions optimally and has a potent image and clear identity.

Brief

fig 2-35 Clear connection between paths , services with located zoning

fig 2-36 Using different color according to the zoning

Legibility is improved through visibility and the highly planned by circulation . Orientation: perfect sense of orientation is very important for the public nature of children center .the new visitors need to be able determination the destination and location of the center : 1. unique scenery 2. landmark for the center . Visitors need clear connections in their process paths to services and allocated zones . See fig (2-25) High zones work are preferably given the Northern orientations in hot climates, and the south facades in cold one. This maximum working hours whilst cutting down on temperature control and artificial light.

Types : 1. Plan Recognition: Users can be assisted in positioning themselves by using different color cording rare functional zone forms. See fig (2-36)

2. Layering : the workshops of children fig 2-37 The interaction between private zones and interactive

centers should be stacked vertically to save on resources and can help in cognitive zoning. the children center need a high ventilation for children and to decreases the dust

3. Sequence: To help in way finding, space dimensions can change to show the transportation between private zones and interactive

3 The process of designing buildings a way that respects the environment ,to reduced consumption of energy, resources and materials ,and use the environment with the organization of harmony ,to reducing the effects of the construction

DESIGN REQUIRNMENTS

1. Design COMPONENTS

1.1 INTRODUCTION We do have three main spaces in such a project ,: 1.1.1 Public It’s the space where anyone can access to , of course it will be secured ( parking , landscape, guard ) , see fig 3-1 . 1.1.2 Semi-public It’s the space that contain the admen's and registration processes , front plaza’s 1.1.3 Private It’s the space that holds children's , their ; education, clinics, dorms ,….etc . Which cant be accessed by anyone accept children's and staff , other than that should be under supervision .

Fig 3-1

2. MAIN SECTORS After looking and analyzing several similar projects to ours , we figured the main components of STREET CHILDREN REHABILITATION CENTERS :

Fig 3-3 This is a front plaza for a building , contains seating's for visitors

Part 1 : SUPERVISION PART2: EDUCATION & KNOWLEDG PART3: ENTERTAINMENT PART4:SHELTERS

Fig 3-2

2. DESIGN CRITERIA 2.1 INTRODUCTION After surveying , studying the design issues , and analyzing several case studies , we managed to determine the design criteria for designing an excellence rehabilitation center that suites for street children's , as :

Encourage interaction through

Fig 3-4 Interaction between kids

marvelous designs & creative facades that welcome visitors . Interaction , people & collaborations are very important features in life , as without them networks future is limited , See (Fig 3-4 ) . In a way interaction satisfy the psychological and functional needs of children's.

Ensure privacy where needed.

Fig 3-5 During studying children need to focus (privacy ), here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achieved by making small partitions between each desk

For a rehabilitation center, separating circulation is needed for security wise . As there should be public space, semipublic and private spaces ,like employee should have their private zones totally separated, that includes their own entrance and services, also dorms for children's should be totally secured . In this way, services that can be used by public , like libraries, workshops can be used any time . One of elements that need privacy is labs and classes, so that studies are proceed smoothly without disruption, see ( fig 3-4 ) .

Provide comfort Possibly through control & adjustability. Comfortable furniture , colors ( see Fig 3-6 ) and green zones are desirable for an eye comfort view .

Be quiet near clinic , therapy , Fig 3-6 Contrast between colors , is very important as a comfort element , especially in kids sleeping rooms , as colors effect them physiologically & physical y

laboratories, and library zones. This can be done through acoustic designs & sound insulation. Noise can effect concentration, comfort , psychology and productivity of a child .

Encourage education and knowledge through designs : as

Fig 3-7 This museum deal with children education in a creative way , as he allows children to think , learn and earn , through making things larger on their scale

Fig 3-8 Making sinks on children scale

street children's are not used to learn and study , so we have to introduce information's for them in a way that they can understand it , like the children museum in Jordan , it was designed to knowledge kids , as they built the forms of human parts , used colors ,geometrical shapes and land marks , so the kid will live the experiment it self , by that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget what he learned ,see fig (3-10 ) .

Appropriate scale And dimensioning. As we must note in designing facilities and services for children's size, needs and security as: 1. furniture must appropriate to the specific age and comfort, see fig ( 311 ). 2.Ceiling heights must be varied, low and high according to the required reflection on children's in the space. 3.Windows at children's level. 4.Doors, sinks, toilets, water fountains, and beds that are "child friendly" and designed at appropriate heights.

Be flexible To accommodate

Fig 3-9 Multi purpose hall

evolving child &technology needs. As we need to take inconsideration that rehabilitation center takes children's age mostly between 5 and 17 years old . Also Flexibility allows for creativity, and thrilling change. Also we must make spaces that are flexible to multi functions , see fig ( 312 ).

Be accessible: to mark entrances and zones , by signs colors. And easy to walk through, as in rehabilitation centers we are dealing with kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to use horizontal circulation more than vertical . See (fig 3-7 )

Be well ventilated: as Natural Fig 3-10 Circulation is clarified through flooring signs

ventilation should be provided wherever possible, especially in labs ,kitchens , sport hall, and sleeping rooms .

Be will Lit : provide also natural lighting wherever needed , it can be done mostly in corridors , rooms , kitchens , and libraries . Plus the artificial lighting , to be well distributed , not to effect children comfort and health.

Fig 3-11 This sketch shows how can we ventilate our building by planting trees , so it gives shadow and cools the air

Have recreational facilities for children : as some of street children's suffer from psychological, mental issues . So rehabilitation center should provide them areas in which they can express them selves and enjoy , either in group or separated .

Be safe for kids especially and

Fig 3-12 Putting seating's in well ventilated , lighted corridor for kids to set on

users . As there are some main features must be taken inconsideration, like Fire escapes must be carefully planned, and escape way easy to locate. Like also in labs , chemicals are used so that needs special ventilation, insulation and isolation. Also material used in flooring , walls, or ceiling. And furniture.

3. TECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES

Wind catcher: A traditional architectural element to create natural ventilation in buildings, it catches the wind from the tower into the heart of the building to maintain air flow, thus cooling the interior of the building. Water may be an element in wind catchers for cooling air, cross ventilation can be provided by using a tube of water or wet Canvas.(The adobe architecture that reduce the use of energy for cooling heating and lighting).

Fig 3-13 Process of wind catcher

Waste Recycling Plant

After crushing such bulky noncombustible objects as household electronics, as well as wooden furniture, the waste is classified into various categories, including steel, aluminum, combustible and noncombustible. After classifying steel, aluminum and other reusable resources are recycled (material recycling), while combustible waste is utilized as fuel (thermal recycling).

Fig 3-14

Outdoor green wall Some "active" living walls are integrated into a building's air circulation system so that the air is actually passing through the root system where most of the pollutants are filtered out. See fig ( 3-15 )

Trombe wall:

Fig 3-15

Fig 3-16

The trombe wall is a wall that facing the sun and is consists of glass in the outer surface and vacuum between the wall and the glass which absorb solar energy at the morning and release it inside afternoon. The trombe wall installed in the middle of the wall it consists of opening in the top and the bottom to let the heated air move from outside to inside in the summer season and from inside to outside in the winter season. See fig ( 3-16 ) Sun breakers: Sun breakers considered one of the most attractive technological facilities that will protect the building from sun rays if positioned by the correct manner. They can be also one of the great technique for shading of glazed surface. There are different types of sun breakers. Their tend can be fixed or animated either manually or by using engine drive. Sun breakers do their protective function by two ways vertical and horizontal. And they can be used for projection roof. See fig ( 3-17)

Fig 3-17

CASE STUDIES

In order to built a suitable building for street children’s , one of the processes must be done is to search for similar projects . We searched for ; 1. EDUCATIONAL – CHILDRENS MUSEUM 2. SHELTERS – AMESTERDAM ORPHANGE 3. TREATMENT – ONE KID PLACE KOSAIR MEDICAL CENTER

CHILDREN MUSEUM Architect : Faris and Faris

SELECTION CRITERIA A place

Architects,

that teaches children million things in a very creative way , as they don’t have to study , they interact with the information physically through the place it self , so they won’t forget what they learned. The thing he was special in is the colors and materials he used for children’s (INTERIOR ) also giving kids the chance to experience all kind of jobs in life so the kid will have the imagination for his future

Location : king Hussein garden -Amman, Jordan

Function: teaching children’s Project Areas: Built-up Area: 7348m2 Site Area: 20,000m2

Concept

The beginning idea came from the “kids toy box”, where one finds building blocks with basic colors such as red, blue, orange, yellow…, addition to the abundance of platonic masses and shapes that attract the child’s attention to explore, imagine and learn through the act of playing. This is summed up in the old Chinese proverb: “I Hear And I Forget, I See And I Remember, I Do And I Understand”. HUMAN KIND TECHNOLOGY NATURAL WORLD

ZONING

11 12PLANETARIU M

ECO HALL 10RESTURANTS & 11SHOPS

CIRCULATION

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to access externally . Indoor circulation is clear and related directly to the outdoor circulation .

EXTERIOR ANALYSIS Challenge in this project was to translate the conceptual idea into architectural terms, through creating a building of that a major part in it become an interactive learning medium for kids as the building itself becomes the exhibit. So IMAGE is expressed clearly through : - Colorful elements were integrated with the building, forming its key features. These include: 1. The nine colorful cubes at the entrance with Arabic letters spelling out the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children's Museumâ&#x20AC;? , see fig (4-1) 2. Supporting the different themes of the exhibit halls, through assigning each theme a color , see fig.(4-2): - Yellow for the Human Kind. - Blue for Technology. - Red for Natural World. 3. transforming the building into an exhibit by becoming exhibits themselves, such as: - The water mill, see fig.(4-3) - Water-play pools, see fig.(4-5) - The speaking tubes tower, pyramids see fig.(4-6)

The architect here also achieved

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Fig(4-9) -SECTION

by using insulating materials in the walls and roof , Also the colored exhibit halls having openings to provide natural ventilation see fig. (4-9) , and most of the elevation is glassed to provide natural light for the place. One of the places that ENERGY EFFICIENCY is done clearly and in a creative way is the EcoFriendly Concepts Hall which is rapped with a structure of metal scaffolding and wire mesh, which deciduous climbers will grow on. The reason for choosing deciduous plants are : a. Adding educational &dynamic look to the building's which changes in different seasons b. Helps control the amount of sunlight and heat entering the hall through the curtain walls behind.

Fig(4-10). -SECTION

HOW DOE PLANTS CONTROL AMOUNT OF HEAT ? In summer by providing soft filtered light penetrating through the leaves, and maximizing it in winter when sunlight is needed due to the falling of the leaves and the bareness of the branches

INTERIOR ANALYSIS The playful exterior design with; shapes, angles and materials is seamless comparing it with the museum’s interior. Floor, ceiling, walls, furnishings everything used inside the building , in order to disperse young visitors’ hesitations about learning and discovery.

The Orphanage

THE ORPHAN

Architect : Van Eyck Location : Amsterdam Function : residence for orphans or children's from broken families Capacity : 125 youths ( 4-20 years old ) 30 - 40 staff members.

SELECTION CRITERIA It’s a residence project for orphans , as it’s design achieved privacy and served the needs of children’s in deferent ages , girls and boys . Also he connected zones with courtyard and corridors , but still have their own privacy .

Concept Using main geometrical shapes that kids play with, and connecting them with each other .

GEOMETRY It’s a very important issue for Amsterdam orphanage . As the building consists of several shapes that do range in ; scale & location . These shapes are useful as they come together to help & define spaces . Square shapes are like grid structure for the building which is enhanced by 90 degree angles of squares & rectangles . It’s contrasted by the soft curves of circles & ellipsis . All shapes complement each other & help forming the concept of building’s design .

CHILDREN 2-4

The orphanage was built to give kids a place to live and grow up . So the architect made a built in spaces that kids can play in . The architect designed different play areas depending on children ages in the space , but also there are common play area that have no intended user age in mind, like this festival hall which is wide open for several play options. All of play areas allow to easy access to outdoor courtyard (circulation) . Making transitions between outdoor and indoor which allows for hours of free play .

CIRCULATION Transition here between different spaces is articulated , through defining views or moments which allows for people to view the destination ahead of them , also the place from they came from , but at the same time he made sure not to make any location more important than other.

Circulation & interaction is achieved

here between different age groups in inviting kids to mix and enjoy the company of each other.

Introduction: A child is the foundation stone of society , so when we make healthy , educated children’s we build a future , civilization and science. Mission: Giving the rights of Egyptian street children and others that are at risk through listening to them ,bringing hope to them , supporting services that achieves their needs and fulfill their dreams, and well educating them so they can benefit them selves and their society . Problem Definition : Children’s have basic needs in their own life's , like protection, acceptance, being loved, care , but for some children’s these basics are not available for them, due to several reasons ; family break down , family violence , degradation of social and economic life level . We can see that from here the problem began , children will start to go out to streets , either they are running away from their parents , or working and begging for money to their parents . By that these children’s will effect negatively on other children’s at the same age facing the same problem or not, also they will effect on their society , country and nations , but unfortunately governments are not reacting towards this problem , which make us sure that the problem is from grownups not CHILDREN’S . Objectives : Going on with Egypt future extension to provide a better healthy community . Help children's in Egypt suffering from ; poverty , violence, drugs,….etc. all risks they get in the streets . Provide a clean healthy place for children running away from their families instead of streets . Provide a well designed place that suites different children ages either they are having mental, physical, psychological problems or not. Provide a place that gives children the freedom to express them selves and remove the negative thoughts in their minds. Provide education for them in a creative way ,, away from the traditional one

CONCEPT 1

The beginning of future is from the old and previous Experiments, we have to start from the source of the problem in order to solve it . Try to connect the culture of the place in a better design not to neglect it and having a totally different environment for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s , And insuring the character of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s , as they like to jump play and discover things .

CONCEPT 2

Children are the seeds of bright future if we looked after them and provide them care we are actually building the new future. Street children like other children but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the chance to achieve their dreams or to feel loved or live in an healthy Environment. If we provided them healthy environment that raise those children and made them effective part of the society we are building the bright future that we want and making the impossible, possible. Making a sustainable building for them

CONCEPT 3

Kids need to feel love safe in their life ,, those can be reflected in architecture through soft edges and colors . Leveling in the building refers to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power as they love to run and play
