The key to any successful project is that the designer carefully
consider the needs and desires of those who will eventually inhabit
the space-and subsequently find creative solutions. For University
of Kansas students, Bhaswati Mukherjee, Mohammed Alsinan,
and Shummer Roddick, this process was simplified when they
realized a need that was very much unaccounted for across
the healthcare industry.
Inspired by the troublingly high rate of veterans who return to
the United States with mental health issues leading to unemployment
and homelessness, the students created a prototype for a facility that
provides housing, healthcare, and job training to returning veterans.
"The project was the result of our investigations, which
showed how the mental health of the nation's veterans is not being
adequately addressed," Mukherjee says.
Natural daylight floods through the numerous courtyards
into the interior spaces, which include a variety of outpatient and
inpatient clinics to treat physical and mental health. "This project
uses the concept of daylight to improve the mental health of the
patients and staff by consciously exposing them to natural light
as much as possible," Mukherjee says.
The entire campus is defined by three programmatic
components-a mental health component, aimed at treating
veterans who suffer from illnesses like PTSD and substance abuse;
a primary care outpatient department, assisting veterans with
physical recovery; and finally, a public component, which unites
both groups through initiatives including a community garden
and daycare facilities.
The space is a warm, comfortable environment featuring
a palette of soft pastels paired with a mix of vibrant paintings and
murals. Contrast is created through the pairing of exterior furnishings,
featuring soft edges and curved lines, with interior decor, made
up of primarily rectangular forms.
"We were inspired to create a healthy environment for
a veteran of any age group to find a home and have access to all
the facilities that would help him or her transition into the civilian
world," Mukherjee says. -MEGHAN DWYER
