Initial Mental Patients
to eliminate acute patients
People’s mental conditions are too complicated to understand in short time, especially to uncertain initial mental patients, who can control or hide their feelings. On the average in Taiwan, mental doctors only use less than 30 minutes to diagnosis patients by simple question and paper work. Thus, misdiagnosis and impropriate therapy cases happen all the time. To reach the standard from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is necessary to start weekly mental diagnosis service, which content more conditions records, tests, and observation.

For many mental problems come from crowded and busy urban environment, compare to general mental center, which locate in countryside, I decide to demonstrate mental toys in urban. I want to change a negative impression of mental center into a positive and playful place. Everyone can enter the test center without hesitation.
Through observe transferring test bars, stair toys and play ground, doctors
China Medical University doesn’t have a complete and closed campus. For keep serving more citizens, many extensional teaching hospitals locate surround Zhongzheng Park separately. Therefore, people can meet doctors and nurses walk through the park. I think it is a good condition for mental test center, because people can meet doctor in more nature way. In the future, the park might be a medical park which provides rehabilitation facilities.

Considering that the plaza is a temporary project, we decide to try to use material as less as possible. The street lights can pull out canvas to form exhibition place or a site of creative market area. Moving landscapes car can make the plaza more park alike without plant many trees.
