The social invisibility of mental health facilities’ is a multi-disciplinary project, initiated by the Bartlett and the Division of Psychiatry UCL. It uses proximity to transportation through mapping and architectural materiality/facade analysis through photographs of the health and mental health facilities of a specific catchment area, raising awareness of the inequality and social exclusion. It demonstrates the obscurity that NIMBYism brings to mentally ill people, placing them inside remote and under-funded facilities.
