HYPOTHESIS

Current orphanages operation states that they openly accept external charity work, but most orphanages adhere to strict rules and protocols even before meeting the children and orphanages themselves.

This barrier against public and NGO operation presents an issue whereby places of charity are then questioned upon their intention and integrity in running the organization.

Previously within the villages of our forfathers, the instituition of the orphanage was closely associated with religious places. It then became the node for the village where people could come freely to donate and help out in charity. This transparency is what is needed within a community to promote and build neighbourhood quality in todays urban context.

Within Shah Alam, we see a growing number of retired community where the earlier generations of Shah Alam, teachers etc. have now retired. These retired residents have the potential to contribute to society as their knowledge and experience prove to be invaluble. Here lies the potential of creating a network where orphanage and senior citizens could go hand in hand in creating a more community like environment. Thus opening up the role of the orphanage as a node in the neighbourhood.

”Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90.

Time is a concept that human created.”

-Yoko Ono Among the retirement stress factors as surveyed on 36 retirees within the Shah Alam area are:

“Search for meaningful activites” “That a worker and retiree can handle retirement if they learn to do ten basic strategies; being themselves; leading a well balanced life; eating sensibly; venting stress physically (through exercise); adopting a calming routine; talking with people he can trust; taking control of his life...”

ENV. ANALYSIS

THROUGH ANALYSIS AND COMPUTATION USING COMPUTER MODELLING AND DATA FROM THE SITE ITSELF, AN ALMOST PREDICTABLE MODEL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS CAN BE DONE AND IS MORE PRECISE THAN US PREJUDGING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND ITS EFFECTS ON OUR BUILDING.

THROUGH THIS STUDY A FURTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITE FORCES CAN BE GAINED AND ANTICIPATED FOR FURTHER DESIGN DEVELOPMENTS.
