Balance

Medical Centre Design

Balance was realised while answering a brief in my 2nd year of university.

Architects for Health’s brief tasked me with creating a healing environment that offers support for both recovery and well-being.

I created a facility that included both primary care and hospital care systems.

The primary care system was based on a 5 pronged approach; exercise, knowledge, mindfulness, nutrition and creativity.

The clinical approach, however, offered an immersive therapeutic system of treatment via new types of delivery mechanisms; augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The aim behind the use of these new technologies is to stimulate the human brain to adapt and change potentially healing itself.
