A film about architecture, bodies and universal design that could revolutionize the way we shape our shared spaces.
How can a building become part of the treatment in physical and mental rehabilitation? A film about architecture, bodies and universal design that could revolutionise the way we shape our shared spaces.
In Basel, Herzog & de Meuron has designed and created the REHAB rehabilitation centre. A hyper-modern building that offers specialised treatment for physical and neurological disabilities. The architecture is based on a holistic approach where the building is part of the treatment. There are windows in the ceiling so bedridden patients can see the sky. There are animals to be fed, wheelchair basketball, stairs to rehabilitate on, an art workshop and music therapy. In this innovative setting, we meet people who have been affected by strokes, industrial accidents or by the unfortunate play of chance. Filmmaker Louise Lemoine tells her own story of spending much of her childhood with her severely disabled father in various rehabilitation centres, which she describes as the worst rooms of her life. ‘Rehab (from Rehab)’ is a personal narrative and an inspiring take on how universal design and thoughtful architecture can change the way we organise the world.
The film is followed by a panel discussion (in Danish) on healing architecture and universal design between head of research at the Bevica Foundation, Camilla Ryhl, and co-founder of Nord Architects, Johannes Molander Pedersen. The conversation will be moderated by urbanist and architecture mediator Niels Bjørn.

Hvordan kan en bygning blive en del af behandlingen i den fysiske og mentale genoptræning af mennesker? En film om arkitektur, kroppe og universelt design, der kan revolutionere måderne, vi indretter vores fælles rum på.
I schweiziske Basel har to arkitektfirmaer tegnet og skabt rehabiliteringscenteret REHAB. En hyper-moderne bygning, der tilbyder specialiseret behandling af fysiske og neurologiske handikap. Arkitekturen er skabt ud fra en holistisk tankegang, hvor bygningen er en del af behandlingen. Der er vinduer i loftet, så sengeliggende kan se himlen. Der er dyr, der skal fodres, kørestolsbasketball, trapper man kan genoptræne på, et kunstværksted og musikbehandling. I disse nytænkende rammer møder vi mennesker, der er blevet ramt af blodpropper, arbejdsulykker eller tilfældighedernes spil. Sideløbende fortælles filmskaberen Louise Lemoine sin egen historie om at tilbringe en stor del af sin barndom med sin svært handikappede far på forskellige rehabiliteringscentre, hun beskriver som sit livs værste rum. ’Rehab (from Rehab)’ er en personlig fortælling og et inspirerende bud på, hvordan universelt design og velgennemtænkt arkitektur kan ændre måden vi indretter verden på.
