Abstract

This graduation project concerns a replacement design for the existing rehabilitation center Rijndam Westersingel, which is located on the eastern edge of the Museumpark in Rotterdam. Rather than the typically bland brief, the specific context of the Museumpark and principles of villa architecture were studied to blend the building and the landscape together, thus breaking down its institutional character and offering possibilities for providing the rehabilitation center with a distinct identity.
