| Abstract | This project was thought of with the idea of it as being a “Service-Oriented Architecture”. From the title itself, it is obvious that is under such category. It may not be as deep as other studies but it also addresses one aspect of the most evident problem in the Philippines: POVERTY. Poverty lead to a domino effect of more problems that the country has to face. One is lack of housing and high unemployment rates which pushed children to be on the streets. This project focused on children’s right and privileges being the so-called assets of our society. It emphasized the role of the community in the development of these children to being accepted back into the society. The holistic development of the children was the guiding principle in the project which gave way to the main concept which is INTERCONNECTEDNESS. This concept was embodied in the zoning, provision, and arrangement of the spaces. The outcome of the project is a complex that is geared towards the betterment of the street children. The complex, provided with many facilities and site features, seeks to encourage people to utilize the complex as an avenue for interaction with less fortunate children who wish to be reconnected with the society. This type of facility may be provided by the architects and engineers with the help of NGOs and the government but it is not enough to just provide. It is important to realize that the COMMUNITY has a greater role in helping and reaching out to these children because they are indeed, the assets of the nation. |
