THE ART OF REHABILITATIONDAY CENTRE FOR INJURED SOLDIERS

BEAUTE DAY SPA CAD PROJECT WITH PLANS, 3D BUILDING AND RENDERING

Inspired by the Entomology department at Manchester Museum we were asked to cre-ate an educational environment into which the collection, from the museum, would be placed.

After researching various aspects of entomol-ogy, the topic of forensic entomology, which is the use of insects and their arthropod relatives that inhabit decomposing remains to aid legal investigations, provided a basis for a concept.

The aim was to create a visual space that can combine two professions together in a research and education facility. The building is divided into research labs, archives and exhibition space with areas of interaction and learning.

The interior of the space is driven by the dark concept and has been achieved through the use of lighting effects and material choice.

Bloat. Active Decay. Advanced Decay.

Dry Remains.

The period after death, no sign of physical change although bacteria has begun to digest organ tissue.

First insects to arrive are blowflies, which arrive within minutes of death and lay eggs, within one to three hours, in openings/wounds. Ants too may be present.

Fresh.

First sign of bloat stage is a slight inflation of the abdo-men and blood bubbles at the nose. An odour will begin to appear as the organs begin to liquefy.

Insects present: blowflies, flesh flies, cheese and fungal flies. The first species of beetle arrive and eat larvae and flies eggs.

The beginning part of this stage is marked by the defla-tion of the carcass as feeding larvae pierce the skin and internal gases are released. The carcass at this stage ap-pears ‘wet’ due to the liquefaction of tissue. Very strong odour is present.

More flies and beetles begin to arrive.

Most of the flesh is removed and the strong odour begins to fade.

Many of the flies leave and skin beetles arrive.

The final stage of decomposition is dry remains where lit-tle of the carcass is left; bones, dry skin and cartilage. The odour too has gone.

Migration of insects; most flies have left, have too the beetles to make way for centipedes, millipedes, snails and cockroaches.

There are five stages of decomposition. The stages are defined by the observable physical changes to the state of the carcass.

Rehabilitation

British soldiers have been battling against terror in Afghanistan for the past 10 years. On a daily basis the media reports on the war but they have failed to highlight that the effect of war does not end on the battlefield. Everyday the wounded battle with the challenges of life with either a physical disability or the emotional scars of war.

The objective was to create a re-habilitation centre, for the injured soldiers; an environment designed to ensure recovery through deter-mination, creativity and teamwork.

Nobody wants to suffer in silence yet the stigma of rehabilitation sadly means many do. By creat-ing a space that fulfils their needs and bridges the gap between so-cial and rehabilitation individuals can heal and start building a future.

Detailed Design

The basic idea of a pool filtering system is to pump water in a con-tinual cycle, from the pool through the filtering and chemical treating systems and back to the pool within a certain time frame. This keeps the water free of dirt, debris and bacteria.

How it works

filtering system

The system works by a motor pump spinning an impeller, which drives the water from the various drains through a filter and back out the water outlets (returns)

During the process the water is passed through a metal strainer be-fore it reaches the pump to ensure the system doesn’t clog. It is then taken to the filters.

During filtering, dirty water from the pool come in through the inlet pipes, it is pulled through the filter – in this case a cartilage filter – which catches the dirt. At the bot-tom of the tank the filtered water flows through the pick up unit and out the outlet pipe.

At this point it is passed into the heater and chemical feeder before being returned to the pool.

Pool construction

The process starts with digging into the concrete foundations to create the basic shape of the pool. The hole is then lined with 5mm rebar (a steel reinforcing rod)

The drains, skimmers, returns and cleaning system are set in place before the hole is shot with 3mm gunite (a combination of cement, sand and water applied though a press hose)

The pool can then be tiled (or painted) and plastered. Coping stones are set around the edging to hide where the tiles meet and frame the pool edge.
