Museion Bulletin #10
➡️“Anyone can be successful!”
Martina Drechsel, founder of Patternhouse.org, talks to neuroscientist Saskia Rusche about brain mechanics and creativity
Design can play an important role in improving the rehabilitation of people with mental health issues and Patternhouse.org demonstrates this.
This innovative research project has been adopted for over five years in the workshops at Casa Basaglia, a psychiatric rehabilitation residential facility in Sinigo (Merano). Thanks to the initiative JOINING PATTERNS: Stitch and leave a mark! at Museion’s Casa Atelier, the workshop is now open to anyone who is interested in experimenting with Patternhouse.org’s shapes and colors.
The idea behind the Patternhouse method is based on an easy-to-understand, clearly structured workflow that trains cognitive skills in a relaxed atmosphere. “Anyone, regardless of their manual skills or previous knowledge, can work independently and creatively at their own level, and, above all, with guaranteed success, which is very important for the healing process,” explains Martina Drechsel, founder of Patternhouse.org. Martina recently interviewed Dr Saskia Rusche, senior scientist at cBRAIN (Child Brain Research and Imaging in Neuroscience) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, headed by Professor Inga Koerte, to talk about creativity, brain mechanics and rehabilitation processes.
