CENTRE FOR MENTAL HEALTH

The Centre for Mental Health is a community-based social-health facility originating in the ongoing reform of the national mental health care system. It is aimed to prevent excessive hospitalisations, help to reintegrate people in community, implement psychological well-being programmes and provide interconnection between outpatient and inpatient mental health treatments. The subject of the diploma project is to design this building on a specific sloping plot in the historical city centre, which is considerably larger than the building programme. The complex architectural design includes the definition of the building programme, the interior design and the definition of public and private spaces within the area defined.
