Through this assignment, I was able to study the settlements of leprosy patients which further developed into residential settlement later. The layout of these settlements, from the living area to the toilet, even the surrounding common areas were taken into consideration while planning. This shows how Valley of Hope had used a more humane way in organizing and settling down leprosy patients, creating a space where they can call home. The structures of these settlement may look simple, but it was carefully planned out to provide a comfortable place for the patients. Hence, it is important for us to preserve and conserve this heritage settlement and its historical values as well as its architectural values.
