Learning Objectives
• Understand the needs of the developing world >>living space • Children’s Homes >> methods of care, lifestyles, security • Staff Housing >> programmatic need, hierarchy, culture
Living Space in the Developing World
More than 100 million children are orphans in the world today
• UNICEF estimates 35 million children are orphans in India
Living Space in the Developing World
• Of the 133 eMi2 projects completed to date, 77 projects involve children • 55% of those projects are children’s homes

Children’s Homes Summary
• Methods of care:
– value on number of children included in program & small groups – ratios of 10:1 – 15:1 are typical, can get as high as 80:1 – program with family units & pods / program with collective institution
• Lifestyles: variance in…
– personal space change by age / all equal room size, divide by gender – play space enclosed & ‘front yard’ / play space in front & school yard – sanitary spaces attached to rooms / rarely see communal toilet/bath
• Security:
– large site w/ home in the center/ narrow site w/ home at back – safety by enclosed compound / safety by remote location – access and supervision by strategic placement of the caregiver
Staff Housing
We’ll be reviewing three case studies

People for Missions (PFM ) Mission House (MH) located in Zacapa, Guatemala Asian International University ( AIU) Dorm Building Asian International University ( AIU) Guest House Building Both located in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Staff Housing – PFM / Guatemala
General Comments: in most third-world institutional projects (schools, hospitals, children’s homes) there is a requirement to provide housing for staff— especially in the case of ministries with little funds. The key is knowing how much time/effort to invest in designing residences.
Staff Housing – PFM / Guatemala
Master Planning Concepts
placement on the site/relationship to other buildings privacy – away from public access and circulation and other public buildings
Hierarchy
levels of staff: directors, fulltime staff, subordinate staff. All require different amenities and scale so as not to upset the balance. Phasing
Staff Housing – PFM / Guatemala
– All three floors are for missionary housing (both short and long term) and each floor will have a separate function for its occupant use. First FloorCampus Director and Rotating House Parent Second FloorIntermediate Missionaries

Staff Housing – PFM / Guatemala
– Third FloorVIP and Guest Housing The Mission House also has a roof terrace, which has an additional indoor living space and an outside space that has commanding views of the campus and surrounding areas. This upper terrace will be especially nice during the early mornings and the later part of the afternoons and on into the evening. The back side runs parallel to the rear property wall.

AIU – 3D of Dormitories and Cafeteria Area
Asia International University - Siem Reap, Cambodia
Purpose: This facility is to house students and professors and their families in a comfortable secure environment. This structure could be single level (depending on available budget and site constraints), but is currently designed as a 4 story building, based upon projected program needs. Water features could be located under the entire structure or under a portion of the stilted building.
Dorm Front Elevation
Asia International University - Siem Reap, Cambodia
Program: To have a secure and controlled residential environment away from campus activities, but close enough proximity for timely access to classes. Spaces: Dorm Rooms Gathering Area Faculty Family / Resident Assistant Apartment Laundry Exterior Covered Porch

Personal Residences – Why typically don’t design residences because…
– – priority of design for the team too subjective for the EMI design process level of detail/commitment exceeds EMI level of service
