| description | This study explores rehabilitation by means of therapeutic architecture, to rehabilitate individuals from substance abuse and addiction. The study aims to understand how rehabilitation can benefit the community, facilitated by a community orientated program for individuals. The site used for the project is located within the Cape-Flats, in the town of Mitchells Plain. This project aims to study the concept, practice, and technologies behind creating a rehabilitation center that uses phenomenology and therapeutic design principles as its underpinning to create a therapeutic environment in the form of a rehabilitating center. The study aims to understand architectural means allowing a healthy relationship between the urban and the individual, encouraging and establishing respect for the community through program. The study is done as a response to the current social issues displayed in the Cape-flats and modern healthcare facilities whose design is based on the ability to function and house medical equipment rather than performing as an instrument of healing. |
