Orphanage For Girls

Abstract

Existing model of orphanages are based on static and strictly confined architectural language. This kind of space bounds a child inside the walls of the building. Their contact with outside community is minimum which prevents their growth and personality development among larger social context of the society. Orphan girls on the other hand face even more isolation from the outside world. The facilities provided mainly focus on providing basic necessities like food and shelter while completely neglecting the importance of sense of belonging, mental and emotional growth for a child. The orphanage acts as a prison for girls instead of a home keeping them from all the colors of life.
