16 BELGIUM Bierbeek 2011 Psychiatric Hospital This hospital features architectural traits that represent fragility, fragmentation, and a search for orientation, thus reflecting the needs and problems faced by patients and their loved ones. The architecture gives a sense of security, safety and light. The rooms are suited to their functions, facilitating supervision and control. The design responds to questions about the need for seclusion and control in such an institution, but this restriction does not prevent the building from having open patio areas on the ground floor.
