The current thesis proposes the establishment of a Rehabilitation Center and Baths on the plot of the 401 Former Military Hospital.

On the slope of Lycabettus, at the corner of Deinokratous and Iatridou street, was situated and functioned from 1897 until 1971 the 401 General Military Hospital. In 1971 the plot and its 14 buildings were passed over to the Church of Greece and nowadays its buildings are abandoned and its grounds have turned into parking space.

Recognising the significance of the space - both historical and architectural- it is suggested that the buildings are restored and the area reactivated. After taking into consideration the existence of numerous hospitals in the area, it is proposed that the existing buildings take over the program of a Rehabilitation Center. This use allows for only minor interventions at the existing buildings, 7 of which are listed. The complementary use of Baths with an autonomous entrance from Iatridou Street, as well as a small Hostel for the accommodation of medical tourists is also suggested as part of the new program.

In order to cover the requirements of the new program, new buildings have to be constructed. These obey the grid formed by the existing ones, as well as their basic form. Considering the facades though, the new buildins are much less decorated than the existing neogothic and neoclassical ones. The new constructions can be grouped into two main categories, the ones that are made of a metal frame and glass and are in contact with the old ones and the monolithic constructions with an external shell from corten panels.

Finally, the current thesis includes a proposal for the open-air spaces of the plot. The main idea is that the ground is formed as an expansion of Lycabettus hill inside the boundaries of the plot and thus that this is turned into a Hortus Conclusus.
