dc.description.abstractMy belief is that Architecture has something to offer not only the same but also the insame. There can be no operational definition of uhat consitute insanity nor can a demacation line be define between mental normality or healthiness on one hand and mental abnormality or illness on the other hand What do I mean by rehabilitation and who are the destitutes? Rehabilitation is an accessibility for disabled people to the public. It is a means to enable people who would otherwise be excluded to opt in and to participate on the same basis as able bodied colleagues, in the action of human living. The purpose of living is to make the most of being alive. The beatitudes are those for-saken. They are in utter uarits; entirely lacking, and deprived of basic needs for human living. To consider the destitudes as a whole (who could be due to blindness, deafness, phisical dis-orders of limbs - cripple, epilepsy and mental sickness) will be a very wide scope, which will be difficult to complete within this thesis. Thus the thesis is limited to the cured mentally ill people, who after being discharged from the psychiatric hospital, have lost place of work or distrint memory of trade, thus cannot fend for themselves. Hence the need for a transition from hospital life to community life. Rehabilitation centre for the destitudes has a combination of practical and theoretical remedies in its treatment. It is an instance of social concern reflected in Architectural Planning. The project therefare has a characteristic Architecture that merits special consideration because of their theoretical relevance and intellectual distinction. The centre will be more concerned with the behavoural aspect of the inmates than the medical aspect. The profoundly disability are taken care of by the psychiatric hospital. However, provision of small unit will be made in conjunction will the centre to cater for emergency relapse of inmates mental illness. The project should therefore be adaptable to all manner of purposes - prisons, hospitals, schools nnd places of worship (Church or Mosque). It should at last turn out to a village of co-operation, industrial, agricultural and educational activities potentially combined.en_US
