My graduation project is rehabilitation clinic design in the city of Rotterdam. The site is located be- tween two green zones: the museum park on the east side and the Westersingel on the west side. There is a height difference of four meters between the two green zones. A pump station needs to be preserved. The challenge of this project is to create architecture spaces that facilitate the heal- ing process within the limitations of the complex program of rehabilitation clinic. The issues I want to research is the integration of the notion of waiting and other public functions to create a better environment for the healing process. During the analysis of the program and mass study of build- ing, I start to pose questions about the existing situation. Firstly the question is about how to make better connection of the two green zones. Secondly it is about integrating the public spaces into an efficient space configuration to facilitate the process of healing.
