MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE PILSEN

In the design, I am exploring the possibilities of combining residential functions with a mental health centre. The mental health centre is a relatively new function resulting from the Psychiatric Care Reform. It is a facility that helps people with mental illness reintegrate into society. Its operation is not at all similar to traditional mental hospitals, as one might initially think. This is a new function that does not yet have its own typology. The project is situated in a gap site in the centre of Pilsen city, but it also addresses the vacant space within the inner block at the level of an urban study.
