SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER REHABILITATION CENTRE
Reykjavík, Iceland
The project
developed as an examination of how light is captured through the use of lens
based media, this continued into a rigorous, experimental and analytical
investigation exploring the complexities and mechanics of motion and light.
As a natural
corollary to my initial research I developed a building brief based on light
therapy and its use to treat high levels of depression and suicide within
arctic communities, as a product of the epidemic levels of seasonal affective
disorder.
The
building aims to become an antidote to the problem, primarily offering a range
of contemporary light and alternative therapies. Essentially, the building is a
refuge/sanctuary which provides diagnosis, therapy and treatments for sufferers
of disorder, as well as facilitating research into new treatments.“This is a
project which tackles some of the key challenges of living in the north… Set in
the inhospitable landscape of Iceland, it takes the long cold winter and the
problem of seasonal depression and elegantly resolves these through striking
built form which is both environmentally responsive and a positive and friendly
place to be.” (Neil Swanson / Wayne Hemmingway)
