    Introduction

    Pusat Jagaan Kasih Bestari.

    Established in 2007, the house caters about 50 children of different ages and 10 volunteers. It

    started with a group of generous people wanting to help the orphanages by providing them

    with shelter and to educate them to be independent in their life. The house is situated in akampong area where you will have to go through the narrow roads. Due to its location, the

    house needs further attention, as the children have nothing to do besides roaming around the

    neighborhood on their bicycles after school. The place receives funding from the communityitself and individuals who are concerned.

    Pusat Jagaan Kasih Bestaris main goal is to give guidance to the kids and teach them some

    basic skills of everyday life. They often have activities in and out of the house that will make

    the kids active and outgoing.

    While we were visiting the place, the children were chasing around the car porch area, since

    they do not have a proper play area. We are proposing to construct an area for the children toplay and educate themselves. The area allows the children to learn new things and have fun at

    the same time too. The teacher expressed himself that it would be good if we could to educatethem with some gardening skills but the problem is that they have only a minimal amount of

    space for planting trees. From this problem, maybe we can try to resolve it and make a place

    for them to plant some greenery.

    To resolve the problem, one of the solutions is to have plants planted in recycled bottles and

    hang it vertically. A child will adopt each plant so that each of it is their responsibility to take

    care of it. In this way, it would be more exciting and they will understand more about

    planting. The idea of recycling can also be implement to them. Living in a sort of remote

    area, they should educate themselves about the idea of reduce, reuse and recycle.

    We estimate the project to be less than RM 300 as we will be using recycled materials. It

    would be great if we can work together with the children at this house as they can

    communicate with us and to exchange ideas. Doing the project with the kids would also be a

    part of their monthly activities.

    The teacher of that house encouraged us to come and do projects there so that the childrenwould have more spirit and have more experience with people from outside. They mainlyreceived help from the universities student who will come and help him to improve the place

    slowly. We would be honored to work with him and hope that it would give more fun and

    education to the children.

    Research

    Thorough research was conducted to make certain that the best solutions were chosen to

    fulfill each of the following main criteria:

    a) Materials used are those that are recyclable and environmentally friendly.It is important for the design to be environmentally sustainable. This is turn means that it

    should not produce much waste (if any), does not consume energy and does not require much

    maintenance.

    b) The design manages to achieve the set goals and satisfies the users (the children). It is

    imperative that the children learn certain responsibilities and moral lessons that cannot be

    taught in the classroom.

    The three main items that we created to benefit the children (which are the vertical garden,

    the seesaws and the stool/tables), were each carefully thought out to tailor to the conditions of

    the site as well as to achieve our target outcome. Each item serves a specific function ineducating the young children and at the same time livening up the surroundings.

    The children, mostly aged around 12 years old and comprising largely of boys, were not

    getting the adequate playtime and space that is required around that age. This is due to fact

    that there was no play equipment of any kind and that the land surrounding the house was

    paved over by cement. This resulted in an area that is not stimulating and not very safe for

    rambunctious children with active imaginations.

    Firstly, we tackled the problem of no play equipment by constructing seesaws. Child

    development research shows that it is important for pre-teen children to find a way to expend

    their excess energy. We concluded that a seesaw is a fun and good way to do that. This would

    also help keep the children contained to the compound for entertainment and not wander offinto the street, which is dangerous due to the oncoming cars.

    Secondly, it was important to teach the children responsibility and the idea of caring

    for something living. We came up the idea of a vertical garden that would save valuable

    space as well as serve the purpose of teaching them morals. The children in pairs would be

    entrusted with their own bottle (which holds a plant), to water and care for. To make things

    interesting and to help make the children more involved, we provided a variety of plants to

    give them a sense of ownership and pride.

    Thirdly, we confronted the problem of inadequate seating by creating stools.However, the stools are versatile and can be used for a variety purposes such as a step stool

    or even a table. The stools can be used to step on to help water the vertical garden and were

    designed to be very sturdy and not far from the ground to prevent injury. This versatility is an

    advantage as the children are free to use it in any way they choose and can even be included

    during playtime.

    Finally, we ensured that everything we made was mobile and able to be moved and

    stored easily. It was also important to make sure they do not take up much space. This is due

    to the fact that the compound is often used for events and thusly requiring it to be versatile.

    Everything is relatively lightweight and easily relocated, easily carried by both adult and

    child. We also to inspire the children that extraordinary things can be made from something

    so mundane as a bottles, tires and planks of wood and to promote creative thinking. Inaddition, we hope to have instilled the importance of taking care of property so that it can

    continue to be enjoyed and used for a long time to come.

    Problems

    Among the problems faced by the orphanage house is the lack of playing area for the

    children. The house is surrounded by a compound covered in cement, which is not conducive

    to child-playing. The shared fear of both the management and ourselves is that the childrenout of boredom will resort to going out on to the street for entertainment. The children are

    still quite young and it would not be wise to let them play on the road. We required a safe but

    entertaining way for the children to play.

    Besides that, the need to educate them on home gardening is also pivotal. The management

    wished to teach them how to care for a plant and the basics of gardening. This would also

    take up their free time in a useful way that will benefit them in the future. The space for

    gardening is limited due to the cemented surrounding. The hurdle was to come up with a

    solution that is space saving and yet at the same time manages to convey the set task.

    Solution

    First off we decided we needed to build a simple yet portable play area due to the demandfrom the teacher. For this reason, we proposed to design mobile seesaws. This will help keep

    them from wandering off the compound at the same time will keep them occupied in a safe

    and fun way. The children seemed to enjoy the seesaws the moment we set them down and

    their smiling faces and laughter were justification enough that we decided to do the right

    thing. The seesaws are very sturdy and are able to withstand large amounts of weight. They

    were also easily carried by the children which solves the problem of portability.

    We proposed to make a vertical garden, which the management says will help to raise

    awareness on environmental issues. There are at least 50 children and two of them are

    encouraged to adopt a plant which will be placed on the vertical garden. This would teachthem responsibility that is appropriate for their age group, as well as teamwork. The children

    seemed interested in the variety of plants available and were eager to learn more on how to

    care for their new plants. The vertical garden didnt take up any space and livened up the

    compound making it prettier and less bare.

    Materials

    The main materials were chosen for the following reasons:-Tyres

    It is produced in large volume and durable. It is easily found and will last as a recycledmaterial. It does not easily wear down. It is also safe for the children to play on and it is also

    waterproof therefore suitable for the climate in Malaysia.

    Wood

    It creates a nice finish, sturdy and durable. Obtainable if found at the right place, suitable to

    make playground equipment as workshop waste and at furniture disposal points. It is also a

    non-toxic material.

    Plastic bottles

    It is lightweight, durable and flexible. Very easily obtained and to collect since it is neededin large quantity for this project. It is also easy to be manipulated into desired design. It is

    also easy to maintain.

    Life Cycle Analysis

    LCA is a technique to assess the environmental aspects and potential impacts associated witha product.

    The major stages in an LCA study are raw material acquisition, materials manufacture,

    production, use/reuse/maintenance, and waste management.

    Timeline

    Figure 1. Proposed Timeline.

    Figure 2: Actual Timeline.

    Figure 2: Actual Timeline.

    Figure 1 shows proposed timeline (15 May- 15 June 2013), where activities were planned out

    before it was conducted, whereas Figure 2 shows that the actual timeline (18 May- 27 June),

    followed to conduct the activities stated. Measuring of site went according to the plan, but

    problem were faced for material shopping. Materials were tried to obtained from placeswhere the items were abandoned instead of purchasing it as such way it can meet up the

    purpose of this project. Time was taken as it was hard to find materials that needed for theproject. Carpentry Workshop was needed for cutting of materials and were delayed to the

    following month, which was on June when by right it was suppose to be on May, as slots

    werent available and it was packed with other students and their projects. For recycled

    bottles, we managed to start on the date stated, but as we cant find as many bottles, it got

    delayed. Furthermore, mineral water bottles werent ideal for the project, hence we had to

    dispose them in appropriate manner and collect more carbonated bottles as they are strongenough to withstand for the project.

    For tyres painting, it got delayed as well since we needed the workshop to cut the tyres into

    half. Time slots werent available for the proposed timeline, hence, we made appointment forthe selected time found in the actual timeline. The time frame, 6 days only needed to

    complete the task of painting the tyres. Assembling the materials, only needed 6 days when in

    proposed timeline stated 7 days even though we started off late. Reason behind is, due to lack

    of time in building the items. Planting the plants took us 3 days, as we need to ensure the

    plants are well cared, and watered as well as the bottles are safe enough to support the plants.

    As some part were delayed, documentation had been delayed as well and longer compared to

    the proposed timeline, just to ensure everything is done according to the project requirement.

    Journal

    18th May 2013

    Location: Taylors Lakeside

    An orphanage called Pusat Jagaan Kasih Bestari was the suitable site we found and wevisited the site for the first time today by car. We met and talked to the person in charge and

    figured out the problems they faced. There were not so many children there but still we

    wanted to do something that is able to educate and give a better future. We took a look

    around the orphanage and thought it was a good site since it has a very wide and open space

    just like we were looking for. Apparently the person in charge said that they always use the

    space to put up tents when they have some important events. That has to be taken into

    consideration when choosing the site. We also took measurement of the orphanage and not

    forgetting we also took some photos of the orphanage and figured out which part of the space

    was likely suitable so that we could improve by putting and adding some useful andbeneficial equipment for the children

  • 7/28/2019 Compiled Esd (1)

    30/65

    19th

    May 2013

    We did some research of the things that we can do that will actually help us to reach

    our goals after we chose the most suitable site to improve. Since everyone gave out so many

    ideas, we discussed about the advantages and disadvantages of the things or equipment that

    were on our minds and discussed whether it is possible to do it or not. After some period of

    time we finally chose the exact things that we wanted to do for the orphanage and at the sametime we thought about how it will help to solve the problems that they faced and educate the

    children to be more concern about the nature.

    21st May 2013

    Since we have decided what to do already, we had a meeting about what materials we

    wanted to use for the equipments and gave out some suggestion of places that we could get

    the materials from. Instead of buying the materials, our aim is to reuse the thrown-out

    materials which has a very close relationship to environment sustainability design and at the

    same time reduce the cost of the project. Afterwards, we did some research on the

    construction details on how to attach and combine two or more equipments together and the

    suitable connectors and joints that we could use.

    24th

    May 2013Even though it was semester break and some of us couldnt come because they were

    still on holiday, we decided to meet up to buy and collect tires at car workshops in Petaling

    Jaya. Some of the workshop owners willingly to give us free tires but some would charge

    expensively cause the tires we wanted were pretty big. Luckily we found one workshop that

    charged us only RM1 for each of the big tires. Not just that, we also found some woods that

    might be useful for our project near the workshop. Other than that, we started to collect

    plastic not just around Taylors but other places as well.

    Washing and brushing all the tires we collected last time were the thing we did today.

    Instead of finding some other places to wash all the tires, we decided that itll be way easier

    to wash them in Taylors. One of our group mates had prepared the things we needed for

    washing the tires like brushes, soap and gloves. To work faster, some of the group mates

    went to the back of block E to find if there was any pipe or water source that we could useand some went to ask the janitors to borrow hose. Afterwards we brought all the tires down to

    parking lot and started to wash them. As usual, the process of collecting bottles was carried

    on. Besides, we went to book the workshop and found suitable time and slots for us to use.10th June 2013

    10th June 2013

    The process of collecting materials was carried on today. We went to PJS7 to buy and

    collect items from a junkyard. There were lots of steel and metal and we had trouble choosing

    the right and suitable material for the project. Afterwards we went to hardware shop called

    Woon in SS15 to buy some paints, nuts and bolts, thinner, varnish and some other materials

    needed for the project. Even though we know what to buy but were not really good atchoosing the right connectors and joints, we were glad because we were assisted by the shop

    owner because they know more than us. Other than that, since we need lots of bottles, we

    asked our friends to give some bottles that theyve used.

    Today we were allowed to use the workshop and the tools in there. We were assisted

    by Mr Fendi , the carpenter works in the workshop, because some of the tools were

    dangerous for us to handle. We cut each of the big tires into half and while cutting them,

    there were fumes coming out from them and the smell was bad. Besides, we also untarnishedand sanding the wood planks we collected last time. Some of the stains on the wood were

    quite tough to remove but we managed to improve the condition and the appearance of the

    wood planks. We also collected some amount of bottles for the vertical garden.

    14th June 2013

    Last time we made a mistake by not choosing the right size of wood planks therefore

    we went again to PJ7 to collect some more wood planks. This time we chose carefully and

    made sure they were in the right size and thickness for the project. Other than that, we also

    tried to figure out the dimension and discussed on how to cut the bottles besides collecting

    them.

    Since it would take some time to dry up the paint, so we decided to do the painting on

    one of the weekends. We painted the tires that we cut for the see saw in Taylors and put the

    tires in front of the workshop to let them dry. We went back to PJS 7 to collect some more

    wood planks and get them cut into the right size. Since we still dont have enough bottles, we

    collected some more and make sure to keep them safely in the studio.
