Federico Babina Portrays Mental Disorders Using Architecture

Federico Babina is an Italian artist, architect and graphic designer. He enjoys expressing himself through different techniques. Federico used his creativity to explore different mental disorders using architecture. He believes the spaces in which people habit influences their behaviors and psychopathology.  The following are some of the representations he did on mental disorders:

“The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.”  -Poppy Z. Brite

“A lot of the times I’d get that feeling like I was in the middle of a huge black ocean, or in deep space, but not in the fascinating way.” -Unknown

 “You can’t ‘just eat.’ The world inside your head is so twisted and controlling, a prison of black and white; it makes you fear every aspect of your life outside of your ‘control.” -Unknown

“The worst part about taking naps is you expect to wake up afterwards feeling well-rested, but instead you feel like you died and you forget who you are.” -unknown

“I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.” – Ned Vizzini

“The schizophrenic mind is not so much split as shattered. I’d like to say schizophrenia is like a waking nightmare.” -Elyn Saks

“I’m not real, you’re not real, this isn’t real.” -Unknown

“We remember their love, when they can no longer remember.” -Unknown

“So many memories stolen… So many hearts broken.” -Unknown

“Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” -Corrie ten Boom

“When you are mad, mad like this, you don’t know it. Reality is what you see. When what you see shifts, departing from anyone else’s reality, it’s still reality to you.”  -Marya Hornbacher

“OCD is not a disease that bothers; it is a disease that tortures.”  -J.J. Keeler

“I hear things more loudly. I see things more clearly, I smell things more strongly, I feel things you don’t, I taste things differently.” -Unknown
