Rehabilitation
Architecture and design projects that restore, repurpose, or transform spaces and communities through intentional intervention.
Rehabilitation in design extends beyond physical restoration to encompass social renewal, adaptive reuse, and therapeutic intervention. Projects in this area address how built environments can facilitate healing, community building, and positive behavioral change.
The community explores rehabilitation through diverse lenses: converting heritage buildings into cultural hubs, designing therapeutic spaces for recovery, reimagining neglected urban areas, and creating environments that support social transformation and skill development.
