Parque de los Pabellones – Centro de Rehabilitación Mental (Caucasia, Antioquia).

Abstract

This project is aimed at people who suffer from mental disorders related to constant exposure in the contexts or direct affectation of violent environments (which according to the research conducted are depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety). With this said, we are located in the municipality of Caucasia, which is the capital of the Bajo Cauca region, one of the regions most affected by violence and categorized as ZOMAC and PDET.

Based on the analysis of the territory, we arrived at the location of the lot, which is located in an urban periphery area and has nearby characteristics such as a residential expansion area and a natural conservation area.

For the design of the project we took into account the different ways of receiving alternative therapy and how these could be expressed through architecture defined within a program and a functional design. Such as garden therapies as a means of stimulation, relaxation and reunion, art therapy as an alternative means of communication and hydrotherapy as a form of relaxation, liberation and motor stimulation.
