In an urban context, the mental institution would drop the veil; it would become part of the public realm, and would make a community of its own. There would be a new language of textures, colors, materials, spaces that unfold from one to another.
The understanding of a mental institution has been defined through the term warehouse in history and even now. To deconstruct this notion, having contradictory elements to the program, such as an urban site, and objects as boundaries.( a place to sit, a place for gathering, the bed of the patient, the module of a room etc...), through these interventions, to define new boundaries.
A complex, which de-materializes the notion of the boundary, and scale in order to restore one's identity.
