Abstract
The body of society is the people in its communities. There are girls without parents or a home that lack the development to contribute to such. These girls need refuge. Creating an orphanage that modernizes the care of these girls is dire. This facility will help mend the societal processes for facilitating children without permanent homes and families. By creating rooms and freedom within a secure facility, girls will grow and develop prepared to contribute to society as they feel loved and built up in a difficult position in their lives. The purpose of this study is to address the broken systems and practices of orphanages using intentional space planning. The materials, technology, and design solutions used in this Cuenca, Ecuador facility, aid in a better solution. Location and budget are often lacking but were considered in this study. It is with the hope that this study will inform and provoke thought on the orphanage systems currently in play in countries outside our own. It is dire that this information will discuss why some of these practices have obliterated in certain places. This research addresses how we can move forward to build better lives for children, specifically girls, in these unfortunate situations.
