HOPE rehabilitation center

HOPE - Rehabilitation Centre 
A prison has always been conceived as a dark, terrible and secret building by the outside world. Prisons have been one of the most neglected sectors in
terms of architecture. Most of the prisons in our country are functioning as they did since antiquity, so the infrastructure of the prisons in our country needs to be considerably improved . 
​​​​​​​
The rehabilitation of prisoners and the effect of the prison environment on their psychology while in prison and after their release has always been a major concern.
And as incarceration is a transitional phase from which people who have committed a "crime" enter the prison as delinquents and after their releases a very great change undergoes on these prisoners, changes of personalities, of action, of ways of thinking etc.
Inspired by these changes and transformations and focusing on the metamorphosis and the adaptation of these people to the new way of life and in their society; The concept will result in Cartesian forms which are transformed and change in size and shape, even these changes and these mutations are at the level of the functions which change according to each type of wing and according to the needs . 

My project is like a micro village to prepare prisoners well to integrate into their societies after their release.
From where I have units for prisoners who cannot leave the prison which are located in an introverted volume and the mixed volumes for those who can go out, the cells are in well-oriented areas.


The entire periphery of the prison is buffered by a layer of planting to minimize the impact of the prison's barriers and partitions.
the green spaces of meditation and the place of worship lived at the heart of the project, to always remind the prisoners of spirituality and that God is present and always observes us.


The land is divided into three longitudinal parts , which defines the areas:
- public (medium security)
- medium security (activity areas - workshops etc.)
- high security: (the wings)
