Project Overview Titled “Design to Build,” Philadelphia University’s Design 9 architecture studio is an applied research and design studio, focusing on the practice of humanitarian architecture in the global context through the design of housing for the Malamulo Hospital, in Malamulo, Malawi. The aim of the studio is the design and development of a complete set of construction documents for 2 – 4 housing units to be built by local contractors, using local materials and construction methods. The project is not speculative; rather it is designed to be built. Background: Malamulo Hospital In the rural community of Malamulo, the directors of the local hospital seek housing for visiting doctors and medical students from the University of Malawi, Blantyre, Malawi. The Malamulo Hospital provides healthcare to a catchment area of 129,000 people from two surrounding districts who are among the poorest in Africa. Only four full-time physicians (two Malawi-trained & two US-licensed) comprise the staff who serve the hospital’s 275 bed capacity. The hospital relies on assistance from local and international donors, most importantly visiting medical volunteers. Unfortunately, the hospital struggles to recruit long-term visiting doctors and faculty partially due to inadequate housing. Project Description: Housing The clients request a thoughtfully designed building and site solution that is contextually appropriate, environmentally responsive, beautiful, affordable, and buildable by local contractors. The students aim to produce an appropriate housing solution that responds to the needs of the client, users and surrounding community. The greatest challenges faced by the designers are the difficulties of designing in a foreign country, the inability to visit the site, and the need to satisfy multiple cultural sensibilities.

The Site

16°10’9.03”S / 35° 6’27.10”E The site currently available for construction is roughly a ½ hectare plot in a semi-dense residential neighborhood of modest single family and duplex housing serving the hospital and local community. The site is on a north-facing hillside, with mountain views to the northwest. It contains mature papaya, banana, and mango trees along its perimeter. Environmental and climatic conditions include high levels of solar exposure, significant rainfall in the rainy season, challenging drainage issues, and lush fertile soils.

To be successful, housing must respond to multiple communities and constituencies, and satisfy a broad range of private to public design issues.

Funders/Client Non-profit organizations financially support this project. Their finances are often sparse with a somewhat inconsistent inflow. They require a thoughtful building that is environmentally responsive, affordable, and results in high user retention.

Neighbors

Users

Native Malawian families dwell in the neighborhood surrounding the site. The design solution should be contextually appropriate and should encourage a harmonious relationship between the hospital associates and the Malamulo community. Its construction should adhere to the native building culture, employing local contractors, utilizing local construction techniques, and presenting an appropriate aesthetic.

The users are the visiting medical practitioners who will be the residents of the completed housing solution. The residents are individuals of many cultural backgrounds and will also likely include doctors’ families. Though their daily life will be spent working long days with little free time, it is important they have comfortable spaces to relax alone, to cook and eat, and to socialize with housemates, neighbors, and the community.

Challenges

Two Users Groups

Doctors + Faculty: Room for Four Inhabitants per Unit In some cases, doctors will come with families. Other times, they may need room for guests. Faculty may also share units with colleagues. These users will spend up to 5 years in this housing. Two Units These units needs two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. They should be comfortable without the need to actively heat or cool. They must be secure, but not imposing.

How do we provide housing for doctors and students at the Malamulo Hospital?

Buildable with accessible materials and local builders. The cost must correlate with recently built duplex units.

Medical Students: Multiple Inhabitants per Unit Students will spend several months in this housing and will be sharing bedrooms and bathrooms. Spaces must be comfortable, meeting students’ expectations of housing in their typical urban environments. It must be organized efficiently with space for studying and for relaxing in community. Ability to Phase As client funding fluctuates and the need increases over time, this scheme should consider phasing. This would allow Malamulo Hospital to host some students with relatively low upfront cost and grow their student housing as needed. Buildable with accessible materials and local builders. The cost must correlate with recently built duplex units, as it breaks down per person.

Constituent Considerations

Constituents

How do we satisfy the constituents?

Clients

The project seeks to find a balance between the needs of the clients, users and community. The design intent is guided by this variety of constituent needs.

The finances of the project funders are often scanty and infrequent. They need a prototype for a scheme that is cost-effective, durable, easily-maintained by hospital staff, and contributes to user-retention.

The Climate

Designing for Thermal Comfort

The Hot + Dry Season: Sept - Nov

Seasonal Changes Malawi experiences three seasons: a cold, dry season; a hot, dry season; and a warm, rainy season. The weather is warm and wet from December to April with up to 845mm of rainfall. The environment is cold and dry from May to August, and hot and dry from September to November. Sun Malawi is located in the southern hemisphere, only about 1,800 km from the equator and therefore the sun generally maintains a high position in the north side of the sky. Throughout most of the year the sun reaches a height of 54 to 74 degrees to the north. In the summer it reaches a height of 82 degrees to the south.

The full year of hourly temperature reports with the days of the year on the horizontal and the hours of the day on the vertical. The hourly temperature measurement is color coded into meaningful temperature bands: cool is the darkest grey (50°F to 65°F), comfortable is dark grey (65°F to 75°F), warm is light grey (75°F to 85°F), hot is the lightest grey (85°F to 100°F)

Case Study: Existing Hospital Housing

11m

84m 2 2

Program There are two duplexes, each have two joined units with two bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, lounge, bathroom, laundry room, powder room, and two khondes. Size and Price Each duplex accommodates four individuals, eight people altogether. The four units each contain 88 square meters (950 square feet) at $256 per square meter ($24 per square foot), for a total of $22,500 each. Altogether, the project offers 1,160 square meters (3,800 square feet) and costs a total of $90,000. Understanding These duplexes fail to provide an appropriate contextual response, thermal comfort, or innovative construction techniques. They do not facilitate any social relationships between one another or with the surrounding community. The rooms are very closed off and private, offering very little airflow. They do not actively employ passive systems such as natural ventilation or rainwater collection.

Local Construction Methods Malamulo, Malawi

Lifestyle In contrast to Northern cultures, the Malawian lifestyle is outdoororiented. Malawians spend the majority of their time outside and usually enter buildings to cook and rest.

Successful housing uses contextual materials and methods through innovative and responsive design techniques.

Typology The majority of dwellings in Malamulo are small, modest residences. Malawian families tend to share houses of a single room. Kitchens are usually detached from the house due to the excessive heat created from cooking. Most houses contain porches called khonde. Roofs tend to be single- or doubledpitched. Materials Bricks are the most common building material. They are either sun-dried or kiln-fired on site. Plaster is available to cover interior or exterior walls. Concrete is rather expensive and therefore reserved for floor slabs. Steel window and door fittings can be purchased on main roads. Roofs are commonly constructed of thin corrugated metal sheets or clay tiles. Wooden beams or local gum poles support the roof. Additional materials may be transported from larger cities such as Blantyre, but it is costly.

Students’ Housing

Final Proposal Student Housing

Our housing proposal cuts down on size compared to the duplex, while providing compact, but functional space. One bedroom unit is for 2 people, who share a bathroom. The Communal Unit includes kitchen, dining, and lounge space that 6 people can share. We created a phasing plan suggesting that it would be cheaper in the long run for clients if they built initially one bedroom unit and one communal space. The other bedroom units could be added on over time when the client receives extra funding. This saves costs because you are not building a whole new living and kitchen space every time you build a new bedroom unit.

Doctors’ Housing

Final Proposal Doctors’ Housing

To engage doctors and hospital faculty with meaningful living situation, this project seeks to create a sense of home using varying degrees of privacy and community. As the built form responds to the climatic conditions of the site, it becomes a comfortable and cool space to inhabit. As its organization creates space for solitude and for community, it allows users to rest as they need and socialize as they want. The two houses site on the site in a way that encourages movement and community between them, creating space for gathering and eating. Between four units and two kitchens, there are opportunities to spend time with neighbors but also to be in quiet personal space. As private spaces, like bedrooms, are buffered by semi-private spaces, like living rooms, they become places of retreat from busy days at the hospital.

Rainwater Harvesting

To calculate how much municipal water will be needed every year, it is important to understand the roof area, the amount of rainfall, maximum consumption per month, and maximum storage capability. The months where the resident will be using more water than collecting are May, June, July, August, September and October. The months that the tanks will be completely empty are July, August, September and October. Our calculations show that it is necessary for the house to tap into municipal lines for an estimated 45,000 liters of water per year which is 41 percent of the total water usage per year.

The Africa Studio

The intent of my design addresses the dichotomy between Western standards of comfort and Malawian cultural tradition. Malawian cultural tradition is the “group” over the individual. This can be seen particularly through community kitchens,

DESIGNED TO BUILD:

which I incorporate into my design. It was crucial, during this schematic design Design to build: Housing for the Malamulo Hospital phase, to respond to user comfort, respond to vernacular customs, and respond to climate. I responded to user comfort by making three subsequent zones throughout progression of the site in which the doctors could choose their personal level of comfort, these zones are either private, semi-private, or communal spaces. By separating the living and cooking spaces, my design directly responds to vernacular customs. By incorporating a partially submerged strategy into my design, the living area becomes secondary and partially hidden, which proclaims the kitchen as the hearth of very day life. Simultaneously, this strategy forces my design to acknowledge sustainable practices by optimizing passive sustainable systems such as using earth as geothermal energy, a manual rain water collection cistern system, and clerestory windows.

HOUSING FOR THE MALAMULO HOSPITAL NE INTRODUCTION In a new country, with new people, culture, and customs, visiting medical staff members need to establish a sense of home in which they can rest their bodies and minds. When people engage in a multi-sensory experience- little moments where they connect strongly with their surroundings, they will establish a psychological connection to place. Memories will form and begin to create a sense of place, unique to each user. As staff members spend time in community with one another and alone in their own space, the memories they create and the moments of space within the site will invoke a sense of peace that will be especially important as they are burdened with tough days at the hospital. Established with an efficient use of space and materials, these moments harness the beauty of the site, as well as a gradient of seperation that facilitates retreat for those seeking a physical and mental break.

PRIVACY Varying degrees of privacy throughout the site and in the homes encourage a balance of togetherness and comtemplative isolation. Space allows the staff to invite the community in for a meal, but it also enables solitude. In-between spaces, like the indoor living space and covered porches, buffer the threshold between solitude and society as they facilitate smaller gatherings of friends and family. Moments around the site allow individuals to rest- a staircase leads down the hill to a bench in the shade of the mango tree and bamboo screens on small-scaled porches provide covered outdoor space for one or two people. The visiting staff will need solitude to build new relationships, rest to work hard, and a home to break out of their comfort. This proposal aims to take care of its inhabitants, equipping them to make a difference.

Combining a two-bedroom unit with a one-bedroom unit encourages a more interesting mix of inhabitants. An older doctor may prefer her own one-bedroom; a young family may reside in a two-bedroom. In the neighboring building, there may be four single young doctors. When they come together under the gum pole pergola with other internationals and Malawians alike, a diversity of stories may be shared in one experience.

Malamulo Hospital in Malawi faces complex political and cultural issues such as poverty, healthcare and the integration of the hospital employees to the local community. The hospital is within reach of an estimated 129,000 Malawians thus it offers a variety of services to treat a wide range of illnesses and procedures that patients are in need of. Employees of the hospital come from a diversity of backgrounds such as African, American and European just to name a few. Western doctors often experience frustrations with access to adequate technology and resources and integration with the local community.

LIVING SPACE

The design aims to create a comfortable, affordable housing capable of being constructed by and coexisting with the indigenous population. Comfort will be dependent on environmental consideration, accessibility to privacy, and aesthetics. Environmental comfort is addressed in building orientation and passive shading strategies. There are various levels of privacy to the site and home which allow for the doctors to be as social or private as they please. The construction of the building falls within the building culture of Malawi through simple brick construction with a timber and corrugated iron roof. Coexistence with the indigenous population is established in vernacular building methods and materials but to reinforce this connection while addressing comfort for the doctors I have considered the spatial layout and the cour of the home. Folkers states that the cour of the African home is often seen as the exterior area of the home between the kitchen and the bedrooms. In the design this is an interior living room with very transparent edges to feel as though it is not an interior space.

the goal of this project was to design housing that creates a gradient between public, semipublic, and private spaces. also the housing should be customizable and the user could potentially expand. while accomplishing all of these factors, it is necessary to respond to the climactic conditions of the site and think about different ways to passively cool the building.

Two passive strategies are prevalent in my design, the first is controlling the sun, and the other is harvesting the wind. To handle the sun I placed the temporary programs, the linen closet and bathrooms, on the northwest side of each building which would essentially acting as a barrier between the heat from the sun and the rest of the spaces. Another way in which the building is passively cooled is through cross-ventilation. The form responds to the eastward winds by utilizing both negative and positive pressure to force fresh air through the building when the openings are used properly.

cross ventilation

considering the climate, it was important to understand how wind flows through the building. cross ventilation helps passively cool the building, thus creating a comfortable space

79°

solar paths / angles

when designing this set of housing, it was necessary to understand solar angles and paths. since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, i chose to keep the bedrooms on the eastern side of the house. this would help the bedroom stay cool at night. also the over hangs on the roofs and trellis help passively cool the building as well.

food production

in each house there is an option to produce your own garden. i wanted there to be a connection between the kitchen and garden.

public, semi-public, and private spaces

a main concern for international doctors is having their own private comfort space. i wanted to ensure that while still having that area all to themselves i wanted there to be interaction between the doctors and community members in order to enrich everyone’s experience. by creating a gradient of these spaces the user has an option to control their privacy level.

rainwater

to respond to rainwater, i plan to have a cistern at the bottom of each hill that collects water and uses the greywater for the toilets, and to irrigate the gardens.

malleability

when designing this housing, i wanted their to be options for the user to decide on their housing. they can chose how many bedrooms they want and what kind of garden they want; this also presents an opportunity to allow for growth. if the user decides to expand their housing during their stay, then it is easy to do so.

The big focus for my project is to establish a comfortable relationship between exterior and interior spaces from both a Northerner’s perspective and a Malawian’s perspective. In the traditional setting, if a Northerner is doing nothing, they are going to inherently reside indoors until they decide to do something or move outside; if a Malawian is doing nothing, they are going to inherently be outside until they choose to go in for something. I believe that finding the medium ground between exterior and interior space is essential to figuring out a comfortable format for this housing project. The major move I used to help achieve this was separating the kitchen out from the rest of the house; doing so provides much less square footage from combining spaces, breaking the spaces down into smaller areas creates more thermally comfortable areas, engages the beautiful outdoors that Malawi has to offer, and also creates a potential for a co-op scenario. Traditional Northerner:

Traditional Malawian:

Project:

In order for this project to be successful my design will establish a transparent relationship between the exterior and interior spaces where both parties, Northerner’s and Malawian’s, have comfortable spaces on both sides of the spectrum from personal space to public space. Each house has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a laundry room and then a living space which has a fridge and some counter space for any snack or refreshment; then a community kitchen is shared equipped with all the utilities needed for a kitchen, plenty of seating and an area designated for cleaning dishes.

In order to deal with all the natural hazard that usually happen in Malawi, such as drought and ood, several passive sustainable strategies were proposed. Clerestory windows were suggested with an angled-roof that allow more heat rise from the housing in the hot season and more sunlight in the cold season. As the site was located on a steep hill, stepped garden was used a strategy for water management: it allow more water captured in the drought season. Moreover, water tanks were proposed on-site to help capture more rain water, directly from the gutters. Most of the window opening facing north east, which allow for cross ventilation. Bedrooms were planned in the corner of the unit to gain maximum cross ventilation in the private area. Considering the Malawian culture, the design suggest outdoor laundry area; and the kitchen spaces were placed around the courtyard with direct connection which allow for cultural outdoor cooking as well.

What is home when you’re thousands of miles away from it? The definition of “home” is nebulous at best and varies from person to person and culture to culture. And yet, home is one of the most fundamental pillars in our lives; it’s where we keep all of our familiarities, our memories, the details of our lives that make us human. Without “home,” we are lost. When two very distinct cultures intersect, as is the case at Malamulo, this unsettling realization can become oppressive and fatiguing. With the stress of running a busy hospital already omnipresent, home is what we need to keep doctors happy and patients healthy.

Eike Maas

So, how can we find home or make one where the West and Africa meet? It begins with understanding the humane details of how people destress, interact, and open their minds to one another. 1. Malawian culture and Western cultures are different... but some things unite us all. Community spaces allow everyone to intermingle, make friends out of acquaintances, and escape the stresses of the hospital by socializing in both new and familiar ways. 2. Family can be both those related by genetics and those related by good will, and at the end of the day family is a way to escape the struggles of adapting to a new culture, a new climate by feeling comfortable and at home.

Community

community.1

Community forms around sharing experiences that push the boundaries of our knowledge, ethics, and familiar ways of living. Spaces where people are pushed from their comfort zones in exciting ways are spaces that provoke this bond. Gardens and a terrace open to the neighbors and an open front lawn abutting the main footpath encourage people to say hello, mingle, share meals and share lives.

3. Sometimes it’s important to have time alone... time to ponder, grieve, nap or read. A mindful solitude can be the most enveloping escape of them all, and being able to find personal space is vital to finding a long-term home. By carefully planning for these types of events and interactions, we can create an environment in which home happens.

This housing proposal cuts down on size compared to the duplex, while providing compact and functional space. One bedroom unit is for 2 people, who share a bathroom. The communal unit includes a kitchen, dining room, and lounge space for 6 people. A phasing plan suggests that it would be cheaper in the long run for the clients to initially build one bedroom unit and one communal space. The other bedroom units could be added over time as funding becomes available.

Septic Systems The septic tank we’ve incorporated collects all the waste in a septic unit, where the water gets clean, then the water gets disperesed from the distribution box through the absorption tubes into the site.

Natural Ventilation The way we incorporated cross ventilation, was through our fenestration. The window location helps the wind move throughout the space. In the bathrooms we wanted to incorporate transom and clerestory windows to help with the ventilation in that space as well.

Rainwater and Greywater Capture Cistern Our cistern system collects the rainwater that goes to the rain garden, that water is used to flush the toilets in our housing unit. Jojo Tanks The jojo tanks we have incorporated, collect the roof run-off and connect to the sinks.

DESIGN CONCEPTS: The main things we wanted to tackle while we were designing this project are:

USER

3. Systems and Context Sustainabilty is important, this housing complex basically needs to be completely off the grid, how do we respond to that, and what systems can we incorporate? Another important concept is to think about how this housing unit coexists with the other buildings in the area.

COMMUNITY

2. Comfort To resond to comfort, we want to understand the user and what they need. They’re young, single, and social people so how do we design a space geared towards that? We also wanted to think of different ways to encourage the students to stay for longer periods of time. Also we want to think of thermal comfort.

$50,000.00

$140,000.00

GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1. Vernacular Context We wanted to find a way to incorporate some of the Malawian culture through agriculture and vegetation. This could potentially help support the local ecology. We wanted to get a good grasp of the climate of the site. Also we wanted to understand the existing population as well as vernacular building technology, building program, and materials.

CLIENT

2. Comfort In order to encourage people to stay for longer periods of time, how do we make them feel comfortable? It is important to think of different social interactions the students will face. Security and thermal comfort is also important to think about.

Total Cost

1. Budget: The client has an unpredictable budget, they never know how much money they have that they can fully spend on a project. How can we find away to make this construction as cost efficient as possible? Along with that how do we make this project easy to maintain?

$80,000.00 $60,000.00

3. Passive System We want to find ways to passively resolve the issues of ventilation, shading, day-lighting, and vegetation

$30,000.00 $25,000.00 $20,000.00 $15,000.00

$40,000.00

$10,000.00 $20,000.00

$5,000.00

4. Active Systems Active systems we really want to focus on rainwater collection and management. So how we resolve storm run-off, roof run-off, and ground run-off. We also wanted to consider where we could use cisterns or jojo tanks in order to collect water for the housing unit

5. Innovation As for innovation, we wanted to find ways to incorporate the local materials in creative ways. Along the same lines, we wanted to think of different construction methods that would be easy for the locals to understand and build, and they need to be easy to maintain. Lastly, and most importantly we want to find ways to make all of these methods cost effective.

Mid-Semester Critique Scheme 2: Students’ Housing FN Kanji, Lieu

This scheme studies the idea of phasing, which was instrumental in trying to create an innovative strategy to make this design costeffective. Each unit starts off with three bedrooms, one bathroom, and one kitchen and living area. One bedroom unit would house one person, and then there would be three people per bathroom. The completed project would have six bedrooms per complex. An optional phase includes an outdoor pavilion that can be used as a communal gathering space. Because the project is built in phases it increases the cost-efficiency of the project. The largest cost would be the initial construction, adding the additional bedrooms would not be as large of a cost.

PRIVATE & SOCIAL SPACE The definition of ‘home’ is nebulous at best and varies across people and cultures. Yet, home is one of the most fundamental pillars in our lives; it’s wherever we keep all of our memories, the details of our lives that make us human. Without ‘home,’ we are lost. When two starkly different cultures with different definitions of ‘home’ intersect, home can be hard to define for both the locals and those just arriving. It can be hard to find or retain a place for familiar habits to exist. This is the case in Malamulo, and with the stress of running a busy hospital already omnipresent, home is what doctors need to stay happy and keep patients healthy. So, how can we find or make home where the West and Africa meet? It begins with understanding the humane details of how people de-stress, interact, and open their minds to one another. By carefully planning for these types of events and interactions, we can create an environment in which ‘home’ happens.

organization aims to create social opportunities at a variety of scales. The organizations of entrances and porches allow either greater or lesser opportunities for social encounters depending on location. For example, the houses are grouped in sets of two which have adjacent porches within an 8m distance allowing cross-porch conversation if desired; as well as a more intimate grass area containing a picnic table. The four houses are organized so that more public spaces of each house(front porch, kitchen, and living room) are facing the site’s path entry and the walking path within the site while the more private spaces(bedrooms, bathrooms, and private porch) are located in the back of each house and not visible from walkways. The public and private spaces of each house are clearly divided by a hallway which establishes a barrier which visitors should understand not to enter(or enter for the bathroom and experience privacy). Additionally, there are plans for foliage spaces surrounding each house with suggestions for varying distances and heights for plants against different program uses of the houses in order to create more privacy for certain spaces within the houses.

The site approach creates an area of density at the top, allowing terraced gardens along the slope with quieter spaces for individuals or groups to enjoy their environment. The bar scheme can harness the wind flow on the site and responds appropriately to the sun. The communal space it creates in between enables visiting faculty to engage the local community and provides an atmosphere in which cultures can meet.

INTRODUCTION To engage doctors and hospital faculty with a meaningful living situation, this project seeks to create a sense of home using varying degrees of privacy and community and establishing a multisensory experience with the surroundings. As the built form responds to the climatic conditions of the site, it becomes a comfortable and cool space to inhabit. As its organization creates space for solitude and for community, it allows users to rest and socialize as they want.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

ANTICIPATED DENSITY OF PEOPLE ON SITE

The two houses sit on the site in a way that encourages movement and community between them, creating space for gathering and eating. Between four units and two kitchens, there are opportunities to spend time with neighbors but also to be in quiet personal space. As private spaces, like bedrooms, are buffered by semi-private spaces, like living rooms, they become places of retreat from busy days at the hospital.
