Hale Tat / HELIOPYSIS
Heliopysis is an innovative architectural rehabilitation center designed to provide holistic healing for post-trauma victims of earthquakes. Drawing inspiration from the concept of heterotopic spatial experiences. The center incorporates diverse elements to create a nurturing environment. The architecture, shaped like bent cylindrical paper, symbolizes resilience and flexibility inside. Curated spaces blend art therapy botanical elements, and introspective areas, fostering a sense of tranquility and renewal patients engage in therapeutic activities amidst lush greenery, immersive art installations, and secluded alcoves for reflection. Heliopysis aims to redefine rehabilitation by offering a sanctuary where individuals can heal, grow, and rediscover their inner strength in harmony with their surroundings.
