The word 'heal' is defined as 'to make sound or whole' in Merriam-Webster dictionary but for the purpose of my thesis, I would like to define it as such:
to make whole by strengthening the experience of self (sense of being) through multi-sensory experiences: not just the 5 physical senses (sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing) but also the emotional senses enriched by both memory and dream (the past and future).
I would like to concentrate in a sense sensitive design that would stimulate our body and mind to regain the intimacy of individuality and identification with the use of:
- light/shadow
- colour
- texture/materials
- aroma
- sound/music therapy
- movement through space
- natural views/indoor and outdoor landscapes
I am interested in the architecture that can initiate, direct and organize behaviour.
I would like to focus in creating a healing environment for metal illness recovery.
A place that is geared not only towards recovery, but also towards community and sanctuary in the urban context. I think it is important to provide a place that will evoke a stronger faith in oneself that would lead to have faith in humanity- to feel a sense of belonging.
