This daycare Centre for mentally disabled people, occupies the last island in row. The row of islands forms the spatial backbone of a newly developed city expansion. From an urban point of view, a multi-storey volume was prefereable. However, the client asked for a single-storey building due to the nature of its use. To solve this contradiction, a shape was designed in such a way that the urban requirement for a visual accent was met. The island and building were developed together to form a fully integrated sculptural landscape of the roof and facades.

The patients for which the building is realized have major mental constraints. Mentally, they equal the level of a child with the age between 0 to 18 months. Moreover, most of them are physically and visually handicapped as well. This asked to careful attention to be payed to physiological and sensory aspects. Lighting, colour and tactile aspects influence the patients well-being in a direct manner. The resulting building thus became a feast for the senses.

很好，我们翻译了这篇文章。
能给我发来共同学习吗？谢谢
all about money isn’t it.. people are too afraid to get sued in the US. In other countries people think with their brains, not their pockets. I think the NL has too many dikes and rivers to consider this something new.. nice building though.
child + pool= drowned
My parents would fully reject the pool plan :)
