Rehabilitation Center
A rehabilitation center as an exercise in itself, designed as a single route that connects all the different functions. The movement through the building becomes part of the rehabilitation process. The various functions of the rehabilitation center are organised sequentially. The route starts with the diagnosis and runs through all the different parts of the process. The façade shows the different phases of the route that runs along the façade. The movement through the building becomes visible. The contrast between the route and the other functions is visible in the brick façade with a transparent frame of the route. The design of the brick façade is a filter between the functions inside and the public outside.

Oscar Sanders’ architectural practice has its foundation in social- and urban entrepreneurship. His graduation project serving as the poster child – ‘Het Zilveren Kind’ was a study designed to create stimulating collective housing for people with multiple disabilities in an urban context.

Designing space knows multiple forms within his practice. As an entrepreneur he embarked on a socially fueled journey that flowed into two cultural venues called Garage Noord and kanaal40. One focussed on offering a progressive cultural program and the other showing a dedication to micropopculture. Both serving as explorative safe havens for a diverse and inclusive public, both objecting to cultural institutions being pushed outside of cities borders.

This vision comes to life maintaining a practical approach with extensive experience in working with model- and material studies, sketching, collages and maquettes. His design process is intuitive and physical, and an overview of his relevant work is available to review here.
