Designer's Statement

This building is a therapeutic space designed to serve PTSD patients. The entire form floats like a piece of paper, curving and creating a lightweight mass that avoids the heaviness of traditional architecture. This reduces the psychological resistance patients might feel towards the space. The curved walls intertwine to create diverse and free-form spaces, breaking away from the constraints of typical rectangular environments. The varying heights of the spaces guide oppressed individuals towards a broader horizon, liberating their minds. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels are set at different angles, creating varied views as the masses block each other, filling every corner with surprises. This design leads patients into an Eden-like world, calming their inner turmoil.
