CRYSTAL METAMORPHISIS Concept and Concept Statement The concept for Clearview Community Rehabilitation Center is based upon the idea that the process of rehabilitation requires perseverance and time. Although strenuous the end goal is to achieve a new form of balance, clarity and rebirth. For this reason the concept of the facility is Crystal Metamorphosis, the patient is being reborn and transformed in the same way that minerals and rocks go through intense pressure and heat in time to become unique and vibrant
Entrance Design and focus will be in the Principles of; hierarchy and emphasis through the architectural forms, space planning (busy spaces-more angles, calming spaces- less) and the Elements of Design: Line, shape, color and form through the use of transparency, materials and patterns.

Classrooms As part of my research I wanted to implement resaerch and education into this healthcare facility to not only inform and educate new employees but also for constant learning within the staff for new treatment. In addition, I also wanted to design a place where patients can learn about how to maintain their health and for loved ones to be part of the at home care. Therefore this space is meant to be for multiple users and to be accomadate different uses. I designed two separate learning areas, a flexible classroom set up and a presentation-like space that can be divided with movable partitions and opened for larger events.

Physical Therapy Area This being the most important functioning space in the facility, I anted it to serve its purpose but still retain the core design concept and bring in dynamic shapes and positive distractions from the outside views. Ample room was taken into account for large equipment and maneauvering clearnace for wheelchairs. Based on my interactive research I found that direct supervision is always neccessary for these activity areas so I placed the physical therapists office adjoined to the gym with large clear windows for a clear view into the room.

This was an important component for the faciltiy as a whole that it adressed the whole person in a more holistic healing process. Some areas that are shown are the Art Therapy room and the Meditation room that offer “no judgement� spaces where patients can gain conficence in their bodies and find inner solace. Architectural Elements: -Skylight brings in natural light and brings postive and clear views. -Water wall feature brings the healing power of water into the experience.
