DORMITORY

A dormitory (originated from the Latin word dormitorium, often abbreviated to dorm)
is a building primarily providing sleeping and residential quarters for large numbers
of people such as boarding school, high school, college or university students. In
some countries, it can also refer to a room containing several beds accommodating
people.

EXAMPLES OF DORMITORY

UNIVERSITY DORMITORY ADMU CAMPUS

The seven-storey University Dormitory is an on-campus dormitory for the Ateneo de
Manila’s students. It can accommodate 600 residents and is spread out across two
wings: the North Wing for male dormers and the South Wing for female dormers. It is
located behind the Church of the Gesu, and overlooks the scenic Marikina Valley.
Regular rooms can accommodate four college students each, and are all equipped
with cabinets and desks for every occupant, as well as phone and internet
connection. Every floor has enough common bathrooms for all residents. The
dormitory also has compact single rooms for graduate students, visiting professors,
or dorm mentors. These rooms are provided with air conditioning units and their own
bath and toilet.
At the ground floor is a cafeteria that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
dormitory also has a common recreation area with billiard tables, ping pong tables,
and a piano. There are adjacent TV and video rooms for resident student use. The
spacious recreation room also functions as a multi-purpose hall for assemblies,
masses, and parties.
 SIRIPHAT DORMITORY
Siriphat is a female dormitory, located in the dormitory zone nearby Mahidol
University. The land area is limited to utilize only a half, and leaving a half for future
expansion, so the land area is narrow rectangular shape and face the narrow side to
the road. The buildings are divided into two buildings - North building and South
building, lay continuously from the front to back of the land. The space between both
buildings is provided to be a common area which will be shaded all day by the South
building. The common area includes many functions such as swimming pool, library
and garden from the downstairs to upstairs respectively.
Due to the very long shape building, architect designs the buildings as two parallel
curves to make corridor interesting and distinctive from the other neighboring
dormitories. The floor and the roof slab are expanded like eaves to the South and the
West direction to create sun shading and reduce heat transmission into the wall.
Exposed brick, the main material, expresses the handcrafted skill and construction
intention and its color also differentiates from the surrounding building.
At the front of the buildings is where the shop, restaurant, and café located to serve
the student residents and also the outsiders. The space is connecting from inside,
the basement, to the front of the building which is divided into pavilions serving for
different functions as well as the rest area.

 IHOUSE DORMITORY
As Japan copes with a declining population, universities are trying to attract an
increasingly international student body for both long and short term stays. This
dormitory and International Center for approximately 140 international students
efficiently houses, educates, and integrates a population that is both culturally and
economically diverse through a collection of shared public spaces and rooms that
range from singles and doubles with private baths, to rooms sleeping four with
shared bathing facilities.
These shared rooms allow JIU to offer accommodations for as little as $80/month
and are particularly geared towards students of modest means from emerging Asian
and Eastern European countries. The building is sited along the main access road to
the university on the edge of an expanse of rice fields. It is comprised of a 9-meter
wide dormitory bar that hovers over the International Center that projects out to
engage the landscape.
The International Center is comprised of a gallery, archive room, and event space in
memory of the late Prince Takamado who helped broker the Japan/Korea
partnership that hosted the 2002 World Cup. JIU maintains a close relationship with
the Takamado family. One enters the building off the campus road through a void in
the bar that separates the two programs on the ground level. A louvered surface
interspersed with projecting balconies masks exterior walkways that serve the
dormitory rooms facing out over the rice fields beyond. Multiple sliding glass doors
open onto the walkways, recalling the ‘engawa’ space of traditional Japanese
houses. The provision of shared spaces, the walkway, and balcony system expand
the compressed living space into the outdoors.
The most conspicuous material is the aluminum louver the makes up the south
façade. We used horizontal louvers with three different dimensions. They are
attached each with the maximum cantilever from the vertical support to create a
woven pattern to comprise a unified façade to the public, and shaded walkways with
a dynamic play of light for the inhabitants.
