Case Study Mafraq Rehab Center / Stantec Location: Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates Area: 75000.0 ft2
Concept, style and forms analysis • Beds orientation allowing patient views to the landscape and access to natural light. •
Using this platform the Stantec design team was inspired to create a dynamic architectural prototype that could easily adapt to site and programmatic circumstance.
Case Study Mafraq Rehab Center / Stantec Zones
Case Study Mafraq Rehab Center / Stantec Form analysis and Façade treatments •
• •
Articulated and layered façade elements combine with horizontal site walls to create an integrated dialogue between landscape and building. This interaction is further reinforced by the corner condition of the site which provided the opportunity to open the building form. Glass facades incorporate a dynamic steel supported perforated metal sunscreen that veils the building from the harsh Middle Eastern sun while privacy to patients undergoing treatment.

Case Study Mafraq Rehab Center / Stantec Evaluation (Strengths and weaknesses). Strengths: patient views to the landscape and access to natural light Articulated and layered faรงade elements The position of the building that is already surrounded by healthcare buildings Weakness: More than 80% of the building is glazed, even of the articulted.
2. Introduction
A.2
Introduction
In the past years, there was crisis and series of wars that occurred in Levant countries. Particularly Syria in the meantime. The crises ruined the countries, leaving them with a destruction of homes, public buildings, recreation areas, and even peoples' body and mental health. It made some of the citizens to leave their homes, run away into the nearby countries to find safety. However people who ran and took shelter in other countries, weren't as safe as they thought it would be. They faced various issues, one of which were mental issues, especially children. What they had seen in the war and destruction was enough to cause them psychological disorder which is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A mental disorder that can develop after a person is exposed to a traumatic event As an example at the meantime, the Syrian children refugees in Jordan, 40% of them are facing psychological abuse. They have suffered tough conditions due to the war. Not forgetting the civil war in Lebanon leaving 20% of its population to suffer from PTSD. As well for Iraq that has 21% due to various wars. Palestine has been in a situation of conflict for over four decades. A recent study found that 31% of subjects exposed to war-related trauma
B.2
Outcomes
As for the result of the introduction research, the project will be a psychiatric rehabilitation center, under healthcare architecture. It will be located in the north of Jordan country -near Syrian Palestinian and Jordan borders. As for the chosen country Jordan, it’s surrounded by the rest of Levant countriesSyria, Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq, as well its economy is stable. This project will accommodate children war victims who are in the nearby countries. It will give an opportunity for repairing the psychological damage that was caused by the war. Especially that in northern Jordan there already is a psychiatric doctor who is trying to rehabilitate the children, but the environment surrounding him is working against him and his collogues, they aren’t able to do their best. Hoping that this project will provide its patients the most developed treatment.
C.2
Main Goal and Objectives
Main Goal To heal up the psychiatric children patients, and return them to their normal conditions. Giving them back the chance to live the life they deserve to live. In addition , to promote mental health through service, support, and social participation.
Objectives • Services will be based on specific needs and desires of the patients. • Services will promote participation. • All service functions will be founded on treating patients with respect and dignity. • Using effective therapy in promoting the recovery of consumers. • Using natural elements to recover the patients. • Consider architecture design of the project to be as a part of the healing.

Location
Irbid countryside- Jordan

Importance of the Site
In the mean while Levant countries are the most suffering countries from war with the most affected people, except for Jordan Advantages: • Already exciting idea of psychological therapy for Syrian refugees. • North of Jordan is in between of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. • Its economic is more stable comparing it to another nearby country. • No local wars. Disadvantages: • Somehow it’s an expensive country. • Sometimes electricity and water go off.
The land is located 8 km away from center of Irbid city.
Land area: 24000 m2 Built area: 14300 m2

Land Usage
The surrounding site is packed with summer houses and densely vegetated. The natural elements from the trees and plants to the topography already create a very compact crowded visual effect. Therefore, the design of my building is very simple in contrast, from the interior where I employed straight lines and edges to the exterior where I use a simple and effortless facade. By simplifying the facade, the building becomes more striking, eye catching, and prominent in context with its surrounding.

Topography Map
The contour lines show the difference in levels of the overall high which is 35m. Dealing with contour lines was a job to calculate the suitable level high for each building. the finish to finish height is made 5m, therefore each 5m moves to a new level of both contour line and level. Level 1 based on 810 Level 2 based on 815 Level 3 based on 820 Level 4 based on 825 Level 5 based on 830

Environmental Analysis
Sun Path and Shadow Affecting the Building Sun path and shadows studies showed that the north façade is shaded in all months, therefore it’s the less to have sun rays inside
As the sun hits the tinted glass the sun rays also become tinted creating a playful visual effect
Structural Glass Facades to provide transparency in the building. can be categorized by the various structural systems employed as support.
However it has the same design of south and west facades, but it contains more glazed squares North : 60% glazing West 50% glazing South: 40% glazing

Environmental Analysis
Wind Hot dusty wind from Arabian Gulf from the south, and cold snowy wind from Asia from the north.
Placing the main court ‘ healing up garden’ in a lower level and enclosed by 3 buildings to prevent dusty wind.
4. Design Concept
A.4
Concept
Forms Attachment and Growth Children who have PTSD are suffering from depression with an attempt to suicide. They need to have a positive environment that keeps them attached to life and cure them to grow. This is the main reason I chose the site to be on a mountain to represent the attachment between the building and the ground.
Layout Stability Children are also suffering from mood instability. In order to prevent this, use sharp straight lines which present stability in a layout because it creates clear simple spaces which is one of the design elements in designing rehabilitation center. With the repetition of main design elements – skylight, middle courts and straight lines- it will boost the concept of stability.

Sustainable Techniques
Sky Light Fixed Skylights They capture abundant daylight for rooms in which maximum lighting is the only requirement and are perfect for visually expanding areas such as hallways, stairwells and other closed-in, dark spaces that can be transformed with light and sky views
Interior glazing- glass wallsIn order to allow natural light to beam throughout the building
Light Reflecting Tiles On the inpatient building facade I strategically placed light reflecting tiles- Aluminum Composites. These tiles reflect the light decreasing the cooling load on the building, as well the sun hits the tinted glass the sun rays also become tinted creating a playful visual effect Section for in patient building
