Submerge | An Exploration in Health and Healing

Abstract

This thesis will investigate the development of an idea of sustainability, one of life, of love, of peace and prosperity. A theory where taking care of the person in the most wholesome way we as humans know how, we will also, by the very nature of the theory, be taking care of not just our environment but also all that we as humans are connected to. Human life is infinitely interconnected with all other life and processes on the planet. By designing and building with this idea at the core, principles of sustainability will naturally follow. With the influence of the developed ideas of interconnectedness comes the intention of developing an architecture which focuses on the human, their wellbeing and positive existence in built space. This thesis is an exploration of an architecture of health and healing. Health and healing which is built into the very core of a design.
