Location

Initially planned for Dakar, this centre is above all intended to be national. The building should reflect this openness and tranquillity. It cannot resemble a hospital even if a few hospital beds or even a closed wing and the presence of a spécialisé module are necessary. The place is therefore open, allowing individual and group exchanges through rooms adapted to the different activities that can be proposed. A centre that is the opposite of the isolation and closure to the world that any dependency engenders.
