Design of a SOS Children’s Villages Shylet
1.1 Introduction After the war of independence, when the number of orphan children in a sharp rate, there was a necessity to take action for the destitute children, till now this need has been remaining in an increasing rate for the lack of proper social and national consciousness. SOS children’s villages act as an independent non-governmental social development organization in Bangladesh has taken steps to help. For the need to survive in modern society, optimum environment for safe living is a prerequisite. In adverse environment the proper development of human qualities become difficult, especially in the case of children. Before and during education, a child needs a favorable environment where he or she should be grown up in his or her home safely. 1.2 Comprehensive Concept The concept providing of facile living of orphan children through an institution has been established many years ago. The basic philosophies behind establishment of these institutions have a sense of charity. Promoted by religious and humanitarian feelings for orphan and destitute children who have none to look after as a consequences this institutions have been established primarily for meeting basic physical needs of the children, food, shelter, cloths, education etc. But the emotional physically and social are not taken into consideration the children living in this institutions lead some what regimental life where family environment in totally absent. So they physically well but most of them can’t be sound, healthy in their psychological 1. Emotional 2. Mental 3. Social development. This has caused a serious problem in rehabilitating these children in the society when they finish their term in these institutions at age of 18 years. So it is our responsibly to provide these ill-fated children with a chance to go up a psychologically and physically sound and healthy citizen. Because living these child-as they are in a crime and negligence of duty on our part also and ignorance of the fact that they can be converted into a potential work-force of the country. The principles behind SOS children’s villages have influenced the way people work with orphan and abundant children around the world, the institution respect varying culture and religious and work in countries and communities when they can contribute to the overall development. The strong and dear educators, psychological principles underlying SOS children’s villages’ idea encourage the free development of every Childs personality and talent by providing -Love, Security, Continuity in the SOS families. -Sound, Schooling and training local school/collage. -Encouragement in community living.
-A wide variety of facilities for extra curriculum and recreational activities and hobbies. Social welfare department runs 95 orphanages (Capacity 1200) and some baby homes (Capacity 500) and destitute children’s rehabilitation. The government recently comes to a conclusion that all government orphanages should be operated according to the concept of SOS children’s villages’. 1.3 Location of the site Mouja - Ataullah Upazila – Balaganj Thana - Sylhet shadar District - Sylhet Area: 5 acres Client: SOS Children’s villages, Bangladesh. 2.1 Project in the national context The project is related to the socio-economic phenomenon of the country. It is actually a return to the original system of joined and extended family which prevailed years ago, where the orphans have a chance of sharing and companionship of a real family. In Bangladesh very little work has been done for the destitute children following modern concept and technology. So an architect can play a vital role in realizing the socio-economic objectives of the country by providing the appropriate design from aesthetical and functional point of view. 2.2 Project aim The aim of the project is to make these orphans self-dependent, mentally healthy, economically selfsufficient in their after years, so in practical life they won’t be challenged with anything that they can’t take, to teach them not to be defeated or lost. Thus the organization helps them to become national resource for the country. In this project the challenge is to create an environment that can enlighten the children where they will grow during laming, playing, working, even when they are just little kids. 3.1 The city of Sylhet Sylhet town is located on the north eastern part of Bangladesh about 42 km from the Indian border along the river Surma and Kushiara. It serves as a district and divisional headquarters and the region of north Comilla and part of Mymensing. It is the center for tea and the regional distribution center for goods and services for all the districts in its vicinity. Sylhet town is well connected by roads and highways, train and air to major districts and towns. The river transport is still locally significant. The rivers innumerable ponds, dig his, hoarse and the catchmentsbasins for surface runoffs. The general topography of Sylhet town is with a height varying from 26.0’ to 60.0’ above sea level. To the north of the town there are numerous isolated hillocks or tiles. Area: - The area of Sylhet town is 9 sq. miles 1 - Sylhet municipal area is 3.5 sq. miles 2 1 2

Land use and built-up area: - Area having structure whither pucca, semi-pucca or kutcha have been classified as builtup. In urban Sylhet built-up areas comprise of two third of the total area. Structure: About 43% of the structures in Syhlet are pucca, 42% semi-pucca, while the rest are kutcha. Multistoried buildings are few and scattered with concentration in the core area. Syhlet has, within its urban limits a number of structures of architectural significance. The M.C. college hostel, medical college hostel and many other lesser structures in Syhlet are a testimony to their elegance and beauty. They are a part of the national heritage—a link with past. Future plans take cognizance of them.

3.2 SOS-children’s village at a glance SOS-children’s village in Bangladesh is the member organization of SOS-KINDERDRF INTERNATIONAL, the largest private child welfare organization, working in 132 countries around the world. Professor Hermann Gmeiner, founder of SOS-KINDERDRF INTERNATIONAL, visited Bangladesh in 1972 immediately after the war of liberation with Mr. Helmut Kutin, present president of the SOS-KDI with the proposal of established SOS children’s villages in Bangladesh. SOS-KDI started functioning in Bangladesh form 1972 under and arrangement with the LABOUR and SOCIAL WELFARE ministry of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. 3.3 Roots The first SOS children’s village was founded by Hermann Gmeiner in 1949 in Imst, Austria. He was committed to help children in need – children who had lost their homes, their security and their families as a result of the Second World War. Since then it has grown to help children and become a symbol of peace and better future for children. 3.4 Vision: What we want for the world’s children 6 Every child belongs to a family and grows with love, respect and security. 5

3.5 Mission: What we do7 SOS-KDI build families for children in need help them, shape their own futures and share in the development of their communities. 3.6 Philosophy8 With the SOS-children’s village concept, the organization pioneered a family to the long-term care of orphaned and abounded children. This concept is based on 4 principles: 3.6.1 The Mother :( Each child has a caring parent) The SOS mother builds a close relationship with every child entrusted to her and provides the security, love and stability that each child needs. As a child care professional, she lives together with her children, guides their development and runs her house hold independently. She recognizes and respects each child’s family background, cultural roots and religion. 3.6.2 Brothers and Sisters: (Family ties grow naturally) Boys and girls of different ages live together as brothers and sisters, natural brothers and sisters always staying within the same SOS family. These children and their SOS mother build emotional ties that last a lifetime. 3.6.3 The House: (Each family creates its own home) The house is the family’s home, with its own unique feeling, rhythm and routine. Under its roof, children enjoy a real sense of security and belonging. Children grow and learn together, sharing responsibilities and all the joys and sorrow of daily life. With individual kitchen, living space and households the house is run by mother independently under the guidance and help of the village director, who is the father figure for the children. 3.6.4 The Village: (The SOS family is a part of the community) SOS families live together, forming a supportive village environment where children enjoy a happy childhood. The families share experience and offer one another helping hand. They also live as integrated and contributing members of the local community. Though his or her family, village and community, each child learns to participate actively in society. The village has several houses, its own community center, elementary school and other facilities. 3.7 Villages of peace The basis of life in the community of SOS children’s villages is peaceful co-existence beyond all distinctions of ethic, cultural or religious affiliation. In many case SOS children’s villages are veritable melting pots for different ethnic groups and creeds. In every family house, the calls for tolerance and solidarity are present and followed in the various facets of everyday life. The peaceful village community in tam has a model function for the neighborhood. A child who knows peace today will be in a position to bring peace to others tomorrow. That constitutes a “multiplier effect for good” that is characteristic of the educational effort of SOS children’s villages. SOS children’s village also provides active neighborhood assistance. This includes a whole range of ancillary facilities such as kindergartens, schools, vocational training centers, counseling centers and clinics, mostly targeted at the needs of the young people and families living in the vicinity of the SOS children’s villages. In this way SOS children’s villages help to improve the situation of what is often a large impoverished part of the local population. The most important person for the children’s personal development on the road of self-reliance is their SOS mother. She builds an emotional bond with each child entrusted to her care and provides the security they need. The house is the family’s home with 7 8

its own unique feeling, rhythm and routine. Under its roof, children enjoy a real sense of security and belonging. Children grow and learn together, sharing responsibilities and the joys and sorrows of daily life. Every SOS children’s village offers a permanent home in a family- style environment to children. The SOS children’s villages are an integral part of the community in its location, design and every aspect. SOS families are grouped together, enabling them to share experience and offer one another a helping hand. Within this supportive environment children loam to trust and believed in others and themselves. All SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools – often regretted as model school in the country of their locationare state recognized and teach according to the applicable national curricula. Cultural features are taken into account. A maximum of between 30 and 40 pupils per classroom are taught by wellqualified teachers, almost exclusively local personal. The school buildings, frequently arranged in compact smaller units and characterized by elements of regional architecture, are solid constructions that will provide suitable facilities for as many generations of school children as possible. 4.3 Location map Map 4.3.1(Balaganj upazila) 9

4.5.4. Noise The site is located in the sub urban area. So the site is apparently free from noise.
4.6 Climate The principle elements of climate are rainfall and humidity, wind, sun insulation and atmospheric temperature. The Sylhet town is the tropical belt and therefore, it is under the influence of tropical monsoon climate. There are three predominant seasons, 1. Summer (mid-March to the end of June) 2. Winter (mid-October to mid-March) 3. Monsoon (July to mid-October) 4.6.1. Temperature The main temperature is 82째 F. in summer and 67째 in the winter. The highest temperature in summer and the lowest temperature is winter.

During winter south wind speed is highest. Winter wind direction is quite variable but north-east winds are predominant south- east to south-west winds are prevalent during Monsoon. This climate condition should be considered for the design. 4.6.3. Sun The sun is one of the major climatic considerations, especially in summer. During This period, the sun rays are very undesirable covering an angle from east to south -west. During the winter months the sun remains at a comparatively low altitude. This gives an opportunity invite the pleasant winter sun inside covered space. 4.6.4. Rainfall Rain in our country is the unpredictable climate feature, it some times continuous for days. It can be sudden with heavy wind. The main object of rain protection in a building is to prevent it from coming inside. Sylhet city is located at the north- east region. The rain fall of this region is more then high then the other districts June to September. 4.6.5. Climate and effects 4.6.5.1 Winter Middle of October to middle of March. 11

This is one of the oldest orphanages of the country founded by Sir Salimullah the late Nawab of Dhaka at his own residence in Dhaka in 1909. It is one of the most unplanned orphanages which have not been designed by professional Architect or Engineer. The facilities sprang up with the passage of time, through the donation and charities; therefore the growth is totally haphazard.
