Rehabilitation Centre Perspective Section:

Cared Living Rooms

Rehabilitation Centre in context axonometric model:

“The option to live and work closer together has increased in popularity for the sustainability of relationships and communities with the city still being the prime place for access to opportunities and services.”

“The masterplan proposes to attract vulnerable people from economically deprived areas of the inner city and provide them with services to care for them and re-skill them inorder to redistribute them around the city as more independent and stronger members of society.”

Rehabilitation Centre Long Section:

“By enhancing the architectural experience of the rehabilitation centre, with nature and technology, I can make programmatic and spatial separations in a more unconventional and uninstitutional way, increasing rehabilitation performance.”
