Subject of my work is creating a new building for Asylum Center Betania in Malacky. I\u2019ve decided to design new building becouse of bad condition of existing building and low housing standards. As you may know Asylum Center Betania works under help of non-profit organisation  \u201eKRI\u017dOVATKY\u201d. They take care of homeless people, victims of domestic violence, mostly women and children. Plot is located in south part of the city. It is next to the most visited part of the area, next to supermarket and restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

ASYLUM CENTER \u2013 WHAT AND HOW? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The center was\ncreated in 2006 (two thousand six). Inhabitants can live there up to tree\nyears.  Organisation ensure social\ncounseling (included counteracting domestic violence) and necessary clothing.\nIn the building of Asylum Center inhabitants can meet their needs, such as\ncooking, taking care of a personal hygiene, washing and ironing clothes.In my designed building, I was trying to provide optimal architectural conditions. For better identification of needs I reviewed literature in this field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I analyzed the\narchitectural methods of supporting these people’s therapies with the help of\ncontact with nature and examined examples of therapeutic gardens. I decided to\ndesign such a garden in my building. In order to ensure comfort, I have reduced\nthe number of future users to 30 residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Victims of domestic violence suffer from emotional disordes such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In order to help victims it\u2019s recommended to change environment for safe one, with no violence. Therapy and psychological help are very important. Besides  specialist help, support from upcoming environment is essential. Helping children has the same course. If all factors are completed, children will get back to normal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HORTICULTURAL THERAPY <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Horticutural therapy, is a metod\nof therapy which uses working in a garden. It is used in case of posttraumatic\nstress disorder and also works well in therapy of people who are socially\nexcluded or as a supplement of addiction treatment. Contact with nature reduces\nstress and evokes positive emotions. Taking care of a garden teaches patience,\nresponsibility and creates a work habit. Working in a team forces workers to\ncommunicate. Additionally, locating a garden in a building creates an\nopportunity to learn gardener profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct access to easy care plants\nis the most important feature of therapeutic garden. Space of the garden has to\nbe adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. Clear, orthogonal system\nof a paths is a good solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also there is a place for\nresting, which should be covered to protect workers of the summer light and\nheat. Garden is designed to serve passive observation and having contact with\nnature or conduncting workshops.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEA – CREATING SHAPE OF THE BUILDING <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building has a shape of a block\nto be intergated into surroundings, which have simple orthogonal shape. My\nblock has a plan based on contour of the existing building. The block is lifted\nto two floors to give a signalll that is a safe place, where not everyone has\naccess to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising a block has additional\nmeaning. It creates a opportunity of integration of a inhabitants of a Asylum\nCenter Betania and inhabitnats of housing area. Resignation from the fence and\ncreating a temporary trade space next to supermarket helps with this\nintegration.  The place next to supermarket\nis a meanigful place on the housing area. Temporary trade space is a space\nwhere inhabtants of the Asylum Center can sell plants or fruits, grown by\nthemself or prepared preserves in the common kitchen. It is a additional\nopportunity for inhabitnatns to have a employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of private backyard on the plot is rewarded by garden on the roof of the building. The place is isolated and has a sense of security. Creating a friendly look of the building takes place through using wood in elevation. Wood and rising a block creates an assocition with a treehouse, which associate with asylum, and safe place. It helps children becoming familiar with change place of residence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYSTEM OF INTERIOR <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interior is devided into two housing parts. Sleeping areas are minimalised in  favour of big common areas. Common areas are designed to improve communication between inhabitants and going back to good mental condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In common area there is a kitchen with a working spaces suitable for conducting culinary workshops. The aim is to create opportunity to earn or to learn. For children there is designed a room for play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My project is focused on creating the best conditions for inhabitants. The programme of the building helps them with getting better with their problems, and going back to good mental condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
