Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION
How can a multi-sensory experience inform architecture and its design principles for people and their mental health?
ABSTRACT
Good mental health and resilience allows an individual to happily go about with their daily lives. Having a good awareness of one’s personal mental health, an individual would be less likely or prone to developing mental disorders like anxiety and/or depression. It is important to cultivate and preserve a good mental health as it affects us at every point of our lives, and how it can be done is by experiencing the spaces we live in.
This research project focuses on Japanese design principles to better understand the spaces we live in and in turn how it affects us. It is an investigative project that uses selected architectural qualities to conceptualise and develop an architecture design in a form of a retreat. The project uses the multi-sensory experience of ‘Chanoyu’ known as the way of tea as a program and driving factor for this retreat.
The result of this research is an architecture response to taking care of one’s mental health. The architecture is in a form of a retreat, situated away from the urban environment, where one can ‘catch a break’ from their busy lives over the weekend.
