Abstract
The Mental Island project is a new public realm which is proposed for the city of Genoa. As the contemporary city reveals a fluid system where everything is trapped in it. The Mental Island becomes the other side of the city for citizens to escape from the hybrid conditions. By mental isolation, the lodging units on the island offer a space for citizens to rethink their life on the artificial land and to call them back.
