Textual description provided by the architect. The aim was to design a welcoming space for the patient's family, a meeting place between the family, the center's professionals, and the patient himself. It should be a friendly, family-like space, very homey in terms of dimensions, with an emphasis on both natural and man-made materials, colors, light, and above all, easily related to buildings and existing spaces. It didn't happen.
The new reception space belongs to this internal world of the courtyard that appears outside. This same internal logic escapes outward through the space that has already been constructed.
It has a structure in which a slightly radial L-shaped pillar made of a mixture of wood and metal supports the ground in a strange way. This new construction looks like a spider. Louise Bourgeois' spider, Maman, accompanied her in designing this space. Considering that the nest was built in the courtyard, this space was needed, but no one could be found to build it.
