One of the many things I've been wondering about is who the architect (with the amazing aesthetic sense) of the new hopsital buildings is. He/she has an odd sense of humour (don't know about sense!) reflected in a few things.... To aid in population control and increases disasters at the hospital! Well gets us more business i suppose! For one the new psychiatry casualty has glass so low that seemed to be designed keeping suicidal patients in mind- with the specific aim of helping them complete their attempt successfully- and yes, the new rehab center does'nt have doors to prevent people from checking out the view from the balcony or even jumping from it! All he has to do is sholve his head/ hand and voila! For another, the floors housing the psychiatry patients is wonderful off white glossy polished (read slippery) tiles - good skid ground for our "not so here and now" lot; no wonder the pavillions are strategically placed beside the neurology/ neurosurgery casualty- we are a multidisciplinary hospital after all! The neuro emergency apparently says "suswagatha" (welcome) too (for good reason)!!! Rehab, is a glass structure (Dark Tinted) and has no central AC; and the candel making chaps have no ventilation- breathe the smoke and wax coat your lungs and reduce your duration with us! It amazes one that the rehab (where the most chronic of cases) come has no loos! Is it an attempt to be therapeutic and learn bladder control? Well it certainly (the buildings) is novel.... the road to hell is after all paved with good intentions!

it was almost like a docu-drama.. an insider's view with a camera:)
I wish somehow the authority bumps into the feedback.. 'king is naked'
:)
(yeah, yeah i got the irony of the title alright but still playing my luck)
obviously a work of a peter keating...
but come to think of it, from what is written, as i haven't chanced to look at both masterpieces, that it is really educational, to the architects and the administration alike of how a psychiatric set up should be.
But i really doubt either of them will learn a thing or two.
i love to quote an Ayn Rand
“A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.”
p.s: It be read as 'A man' rather than 'a man'
max i second rand and you on that quote! jo you're always welcome to my head!
guess planning has never been a strong point! wonder if any psychiatrists/psychologists/social workers were asked their opinion about the design or their needs. (if they were, we have only ourselves to blame)
its not that we lack brains in this country, its that we lack the desire to use them!!
ps, would love some of that cake!!
For sure all the loos and ACs exist at the architect's place!!!!
So he really he dint miss them when he planned these buildings...
