REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
All wall hangings and visual stimuli have been removed or placed out of
the view of the child while sitting at the table. The carpeting was
removed due to allergies and a pre-finished hardwood floor was
installed. A 100% wool carpet with jute back for play therapy and floor
activities was chosen for its low toxic, off-gassing (allergy related)
attributes.
Impications, volume 6 issue 04, A.J Paron-Wildes, 2005
Because many of these challenges are shared by children with related
disorders, the issues faced by a large population of children with special
needs can be accommodated with thoughtful, creative, inclusive design.
Outdoor Environments for Children with Autism and Special Needs, Naomi Sachs, ASLA and
Tara Vincenta, ASLA, 2011
The basic design concepts like texture, color, light and others must work
accordingly in order to properly rehabilitate in-patient residence with
mental disability.

Architectural Concept
Concept of Function
The use of Maslows Hierarchy
of Needs to hasten the
patients healing process
through motivation.
The complex will cater 4 inpatient structures which are
based on the 4 stages of
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs,
to better understand the
concept an explanation of one
of structures.
Physiological needs
are where the patients will be
admitted, the facilities that will
be provided on the building will
be based on what is needed to
survive into a physiological
level and nothing more. The
Architectural Concept
Concept of Form
Ants are insect that cannot live
alone; they must always work as
a team and follow the given
tasks on each individual.
The colony of ants as a concept
will be very suitable for the
project. Just like ants; patients,
nurses, doctors, parents and
others involved must work as a
team in order to achieve the
main goal of the institution.
Which is the patients full
recovery.
The concept will also compliment
the usage of Maslows Hierarchy
of Needs, because ant colony
also has a hierarchy of

Self-actualization is on the very top of the pyramid, as the queen to

Structural Concept
Steel Construction
A Hospital should be an
inspiration of hope to people, a
hospital must be eco-friendly as
possible, it must help not only
the people that are sick, but
also help its surroundings.
Steel Construction is the most
sustainable type of construction
compare to reinforced concrete
and wood.
Advantages of Steel
Construction
1.Sustainable material, steel
can be reused to erect different
structures.
2.Ease of maintenance
3.Light material
4.Ease to expand existing
structure
Structural Concept
Post and Lintel
Construction
There are two main force
vectors acting upon the post
and lintel system: weight
carrying compression at the
joint between column and
beam, and tension induced
by deformation of selfweight and the load above
between the posts. The two
columns are under
compression from the weight
of the beam above. The
beam will deform by sagging
in the middle because the
underside is under tension
and the topside is under
compression.
