Abstract
Recently, attention to people with special needs has emerged. Studies and research that
solve their problems have been active, and institutions and centers have emerged that provide
services to this group of society. However, most of these institutions are located in the center
and south of the country, while the northern region lacks such effective institutions. With the
exception of small centers that serve people with special needs, although most recent studies
and research show that the population density is concentrated in the North region, and
therefore the largest number is in the North region. Accordingly, the idea of establishing the
center in the North region primarily serves the physical disability>
Accordingly, the center has been designated to provide professional, craftsmanship and social
rehabilitation. The minimum age group for the targeted age group has been set at 13 years of
age, which is the age at which children can be trained in professions according to the
decisions of UNICEF and the International Labor Organization, and the upper limit for the
age group has been determined at 24 years, which is the age group That each person must be
specialized in a particular profession.
The center is located in Deir Sharaf village, west of Nablus, on semi-flat land with a slope of
8%, surrounded by green lands to increase psychological comfort. The center consists of a
vocational rehabilitation department, in addition to occupational therapy, water and dry
physical therapy, and medical treatment, in addition to residential section, with an area of
15.5 acres.
The concept of the project is to embody the person with special needs into an important
central mass, around which the project masses that represent the services provided by the
center to help and treat the person with special needs are gathered.
The project also depends entirely on the functionality that was employed using curved lines
and internal and external ramps, which helps the person to navigate the parts of the project by
himself, increasing his self-confidence and improving the psychological state.
Emphasis was placed on the psychological state by providing good natural indoor lighting
and green outdoor areas.
