Designing for Recovery
A research project exploring how architecture can support mental wellbeing, recovery and community.
The environment we inhabit shapes how we feel.
Architecture can play an important role in supporting recovery, mental health and social connection. This project explored how carefully designed buildings and landscapes can create environments that encourage healing through natural light, materials and shared outdoor spaces.
