Healing House - I wake up and... then what?

Author: Niels Geerts

Supervisor: Machiel Spaan, Laura Alvarez, Jannik Ouburg
Academy of Architecture Amsterdam

Author's description

“Healing House is a proposal for a care building on the current site of rehabilitation center Reade Amsterdam, which is located between Vondelpark and Overtoom street. The project was initiated by a classmate of mine, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour during her studies. During a period of illness and rehabilitation, she encountered the limitations of the current healthcare architecture and decided to write a ‘Manifesto for Healthcare’ to improve the quality of healthcare architecture from within. The master thesis is my response to the manifesto.

Unlike regular care projects, this project is completely approached from the point of view of the patient. The question is constantly asked “I wake up, and then what?”, “How does your day look like?”. Healing House thus connects the very personal experiences of the patient with the medical and efficient world of healthcare.” (...)

Jury statement

"The work deals intensively with a patient-centred concept for health care close to the city. (...) The jury appreciates the author's intensive examination of the topic and the good elaboration. ."
