Healing Research
As a culmination of my undergraduate architectural studies, my thesis research analyzes how the current design process is not conducive to a cancer patient’s healing and only further perpetrates medical traumas upon their psyche. With cancer patients and caregivers spending hours in cancer centers receiving difficult news and painful treatments, they should be given the opportunity to interact with architecture that eases them as much as possible. In understanding the connection between religious spaces and medical spaces, it becomes clear how in taking a more holistic approach in designing medical spaces through the sensorial design process, it is achievable to mitigate medical error and uplift patients to their maximum healing potential.
