MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE:
"[…] an orphanage or any space should provide healthy interior spaces which offer a sense of security and safety. These interior spaces should be able to provoke children’s creativity and the ability to innovate in order to maximize their youth. Also, the orphanage should provide the children with all that they need to prepare them for a better future and to make up for their lost childhood during the war. However, the problem is how interior design can be used to provide or provoke a healthy environment for children in distress. More specifically, how the use of colors can be implemented appropriately to suit the needs of these orphan kids. How the link between interior spatial designs (tangible) affects children’s psychological behavior (intangible), solves a social issue and spreads awareness of it.
In order to solve the problem, one should ask the correct question to find a proper solution. In this case, the question is:
‘What are the psychological effects of colors on children?, and how can these effects be used in the design of home-like interior spaces to improve children’s psychological behavior and make them feel safe?’
[…]
In order to create a sense of belonging when designing an orphanage, it is firstly essential to understand the psychology behind each color and its impact on each side of the brain and how this affects children´s behavior. Each color should be assigned according to the interior space function and what kind of children’s behavior this space is meant to stimulate. The purpose of this literature review is to cultivate an understanding of problems associated with the residents and staff of an orphanage, and to comprehend the effects that the design of the interior environment plays in the psychological health of those occupants. Throughout this literature review, the focus will be placed on the needs of children of all ages, in an orphanage within an interior environment, as well as the effects that interior design has on the experience of children living the orphanage. The main aspect of interior design that was chosen for this study is colors, and how colors have an indirect effect on children’s skill development and social intelligence. Moreover, how colors can heal and provide a peaceful environment for children, and the possibility of them using colors to learn and experiment their early stages of development."
