Precise Planning / Accidental Landscape




Another fine example of creating a great space for people who too often are exposed to the worst of institutional architecture... This project is a treatment center for mentally disturbed children by Sou Fujimoto Architects (located in Hokkaido Japan). The unpredictable plan gives an air of childlike innocence - A perfect place for children in need of special attention. Yet, with all the hidden alcoves and unusual plans, the palette of materials keeps it quiet and calm.
