Designing a center for recovery from addiction is an opportunity to study and explore ways of creating spaces and systems that bring their occupants closer to the cycles and patterns of human existence; buildings that act as a filters in or¬der to provide safe places inside; and acts as a lenses through which to see the world in new and healthy ways. This will seek to use architecture as a tool for reconnecting patient with their environ¬ment and themselves within places that stimulate human nature, evoke feelings, thinking and memory through unexpected experience.
Conceptual approach:
The project is life time wall which takes the patient in a healing jour¬ney considers different phases of treatment which will be aligned to the time line wall In the healing Journey each space change its identity according to the psychological need through the process of healing.
The creation on this wall based on:
• Twelve-step program : international physiological treatment program for recovery from drugs addiction
• Hierarchy of needs: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs states that we must satisfy each need in turn
• Nature :
o Light: Introducing life and soul to the building and Supports the complexity of space "passage of time ".
o Water: source of life , stimulate imagination " start as water fall and ending as reflecting pool"
Design:
• Generator: twelve-step treatment program and hierarchy of needs
• Wall : represent patient statues "its include ward and social platforms" and supported by facilities based on patients needs in the three phases of treatment
• Layers of nature
• The wall – supported unites dialogue
o while the wall vanish the supported unites transform from being introverted to extroverted
o openings on the wall reflected on the supported unites
