The work proposes a centre for physical rehabilitation which allows a patient to interact with layers of history, made visible and felt underfoot whilst traversing the site which is full of opportunities to exert oneself in a constructive way. The freedom to choose lead this project as I found myself in the middle of a ruined site with the paths, I took relating directly to my balance and confidence. I wondered how this idea could filter into physical rehabilitation, and break the cycle of repetition, often associated with the field. For the passer-by the site offers an opportunity to break away from the monotony of walking along city sidewalks by offering a terrain of another nature free to explore, and wonder (or wander) on.

The site is seen at once as a metaphor for the ruined body, which becomes transformed in the process of rehabilitation, at the same time working inversely as ruined bodies arrive to an architecture that acknowledges their own situation in a greater way than a visually sterile ward. At its most abstract the project proposes a rewritten history, or alternate reality through which the mechanisms of time and entropic deterioration try, yet hopelessly to be understood
