Hemayetpur Psychiatric center, Pabna Bangladesh

Abstract

Environment strongly influences the psychological and physiological state of human being. Over the past one century, there has been growing recognition towards the impact of psychiatric hospital environment and architectural contribution to its theory has been made. But the conventional treatment procedure and the only government mental hospital that we have in Hemayetpur, Pabna, not only lacks the basic requirements and proper environment that is vital for the patients, but also the environment acts a catalyst for the degradation of the mental condition of the patients, whereas there is a fair chance of reversing this situation and provide the patients with the proper treatment that they require for a better life. The project attempts to explore the possibilities to turn the entire 'Hemayetpur mental hospital compound' into a properly designed complex along with sufficient mental health facilities for the patients.
