ORGAN DONATION CENTRE IN CYBERJAYA, SELANGOR

Abstract

This study aims to propose an Organ Donation Assistance Centre that focuses on providing comprehensive support throughout the organ transplant process, considering the physical environment healing, and offering educational programmes to increase awareness and eradicate misconceptions. By establishing such a centre, we can effectively increase the transplant rate, promote a healthy lifestyle, and ultimately save more lives. The project is to provide a comprehensive environment that encourages awareness, education, and coordination of organ donation procedures, with an emphasis on developing a purpose-built facility suited to the particular requirements of organ donation. The design concept highlights the integration of sustainable design principles and human-centred approaches to create a transformative space for individuals and families affected by organ donation. The Organ Donation Centre seeks to promote cooperation among medical professionals, organ donors, organ recipients, and the wider community by acting as a light of hope, healing, and compassion through a multidisciplinary design approach. Studies and researches throughout the literature review, precedent studies and case studies, and in-depth interview have guided the design process to come out with the final design. The Organ Donation Centre consists of three main components which are, the public amenities, organ recipient facilities, clinical spaces, and organ donor accommodations. Confidentiality is the main concept to keep the secrecy of organ donor and organ recipients’ identities hence the zonings for organ donors and organ recipients are separated including their flow from registry to the operation theatre and towards recovery. The layout of operation theatre designated for organ transplant living donation was focused on as special studies.
