real number of the orphans in Malaysia (only

due to urgent need in order to cater the stray

orphans and to help catering other

Unfortunately, some are poor in term of

condition due to lack of budget in building and

maintaining the facilities but some of the private

orphanages are in good condition generally.

Most of the orphanage owners do not really

know how to really build a good shelter that

could give motivationfor the orphans, especiallywith motivational approach in design

Orphans Psychology

Grief, low self esteemand despairare the

main mental illness that both types of orphans

suffer from

The findings of the current research suggest all the orphanchildren reported lower self-esteem as compared to thechildren living with their parents probably due to loss of

their parents. These findings are consistent with those ofthe prior researches. Mohanty and Newhills (2005)research findings suggest that international adolescentadoptees have lower self-esteem and are at higher risk fordeveloping severe mental health problems and social

maladjustment than children of the same age living withtheir biological families in the general population. Theirstudy also indicated that many international adoptees areconfused about their racial and ethnic identity and facedifficulties in handling bias and discrimination. They further

argue that the international adoptees may have a betteradjustment if their adoptive parents are sensitive andappropriately responsive to issues related to their adoptedchild's race, ethnicity, and culture(p. 124).

Lorena (2013) claims that:

Comfortin architecture can relate to many aspects of

how a building gets designed. Itsnot always just abouttemperature control the issue that gets so muchattention anytime building comfortgets mentioned. Infact, building comfort has a lot to do with how anarchitectural built form engages an occupant through

all of their senses, particularly when considering theharmonization between them like with factors oflighting, materiality, sound, and so on.

In this light, the author has interpreted the variables of

confidence and comfort for motivational quality in aspace through this diagram:
