El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como finalidad analizar, desarrollar y conocer la funcionalidad de un albergue para niños, niñas y adolescentes en estado de abandono en el distrito de Villa el Salvador, lugar donde se registra el mayor índice de violencia familiar y explotación laboral infantil, además de encontrarse en una situación de pobreza alta a nivel de Lima Metropolitana. Por ello, es importante que a través de esta recopilación de información se logre brindar a los menores en situación de abandono, no solo un refugio sino un lugar el cual puedan sentir como su hogar, brindándoles la ayuda adecuada para lograr su bienestar y posterior reinserción social, y esto se logrará aplicando los principios de la Arquitectura Biofília, la cual estará presente a través de elementos propios de la naturaleza. / The purpose of this research work is to analyze, develop and learn about the functionality of a shelter for abandoned Children and adolescents in the Villa el Salvador district, the place with the highest rate of family violence and child labor exploitation, in addition to being in a situation of high poverty at the level of Metropolitan Lima. Therefore, it is important that through this collection of information, it is possible to provide abandoned minors, not only a refuge but a place that they can feel like their home, providing them with adequate help to achieve their well-being and subsequent reintegration social, and this will be achieved by applying the principles of Biophilic Architecture, which will be present through elements of nature. / Trabajo de investigación

Over the last two decades, biophilic design and green architecture have been gaining moremomentum throughout the world, to combat climate change and promote sustainability.Biophilic design states that humans have an innate connection with nature, and thatconnection invokes human well-being, productivity, coexistence with nature, andbiodiversity. It is estimated that by 2050, over 65% of people will live in urban settings, which should incentivize biophilic design oriented urban planning. Introducing biophilic design aspects in neighbourhoods can create environments for betterconnection between residents, and with nature. This research evaluates the affordability ofbiophilic designed apartments and if there is a correlation between the biophilic designintensity and the price tag. Research also aims to review the importance and barriers of biophilic design apartments among urban oriented academics and architects using semi-structured interviews. This paper intends to fill a research gap and provide a comprehensive understanding of affordability of biophilic designed apartments, in varying geographicalareas. The analysis was done in three steps of mixed methodology using a housing affordabilityindex, a biophilic pattern score and interviews. The findings highlight the crisis of housingunaffordability, specifically proving biophilic design apartments are severely unaffordableusing quantitative research. The study also established neutral correlation between thebiophilic patterns intensity and apartment affordability index of the selected buildingsamples. Thus, there is further research needed to find the causes of housing unaffordability,which directly equates to the health and quality of people. The research gave insights onreasoning behind low prevalence of biophilic design apartments. To summarise, the studyhighlights an important issue of unaffordability that needs to be addressed by stakeholderslike the government, planning committee, architects, and real estate developers.

Les changements démographiques et climatiques que nous vivons actuellement mènent à de nouveaux défis pour les concepteurs du milieu bâti. La dégradation des systèmes naturels ainsi que la densification urbaine réduit les possibilités d’exposition au monde naturel des citadins. Des études empiriques ont démontré que cette exposition a un effet réparateur en contribuant à réduire notre stress et à augmenter notre niveau d’attention. C’est ce que nous nommons l’effet biophile. Quoiqu’encore à ses débuts, le domaine du design biophile cherche un appui scientifique pour promouvoir la réintégration de la nature en ville. L’objectif pratique de ce mémoire est de proposer une vision écosystémique aux concepteurs et décideurs, afin d’influencer le processus de design de nos villes. L’objectif académique est de contribuer aux données probantes dans le domaine de la conception biophile en milieu scolaire. Une approche de « design fondé sur les données probantes » est utilisée, afin d’infirmer un lien positif entre une exposition au monde naturel et le succès scolaire. Notre recherche est observationnelle, étant basée sur des conditions existantes et des données historiques. En caractérisant des expériences biophiles liées aux vues par les fenêtres des salles de classe, nous explorons leur rapport avec les résultats scolaires d’étudiants au niveau collégial. L’effet de ces expériences est modélisé par régression linéaire en utilisant des méthodes d’analyses quantitatives. Nos résultats initiaux démontrent que sous certaines conditions, il y a un effet biophile positif mesurable et légèrement significatif. En réduisant la portée au cours vision du monde, nos résultats subséquents indiquent que les étudiants réussissent mieux dans les salles de classe avec un plus haut degré biophile. Il en est de même pour les étudiants dans les salles de classe avec un plus grand pourcentage de fenêtres. Malgré ces résultats encourageants, nous ne sommes pas en mesure de dire que l’effet biophile est toujours présent ou même toujours positif dans un milieu d’enseignement. Il existe plusieurs opportunités de recherche dans ce domaine qui transcendent les simples résultats scolaires. / Climate change and demographic expansion have led to new challenges for design professionals. The degradation of our natural systems as well as urban densification reduce the opportunity for city dwellers to be exposed to the natural world. This exposure has been shown empirically to have a restorative effect by reducing stress and increasing attention. We call this the biophilic effect. Although still in its early stages, the field of biophilic design is using a scientific approach in an effort to green our cities. The practical objective of this research is to expose designers and administrators to an ecosystemic worldview that will hopefully impact their design and decision-making process. The academic objective is to contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of biophilic design in academic environments. We use methods borrowed from ‘Evidence Based Design’ to test the hypothesis that the biophilic effect has a positive impact on college student performances. It is an observational study based on existing conditions and historical data. By characterising biophilic experiences linked to window views from the classrooms, we explore their impact on student grades. The biophilic effects are modelled using linear regression in a quantitative analysis. Our initial results indicate that in certain circumstances there is a measurable, slightly significant, positive biophilic effect. When focusing on the Worldview course, subsequent results show that students do better in a classroom with a higher degree of biophilic features. They also perform better in classrooms with larger or more windows. Although these results are encouraging, we are far from being able to state that a biophilic effect is always present or always positive in an educational setting. The are many research opportunities in this field that go well beyond simple performance outcomes.
