Healing the Invisible
View/ Open
Abstract
Every day, the environments that
surround are constantly impacting who we
are and how we feel. Unfortunately, the
power that we hold as designers is often
overlooked, especially in the fields of
healthcare and healing. With illnesses
such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,
an autoimmune disorder compact full of
chronic illnesses, being in the right
environment when it comes to healing can
make a world of a difference.
Through studying fields dealing with
biophilic design and psychology and
looking toward nature itself for help,
we should be able to better design for
healing.
Throughout time, architecture has seem
to have lost some of its soul, its
meaning and place. Looking towards our
deep needs for healing presents a great
opportunity to connect back with our
work and ourselves. It is time to bring
soul back into our every intention.
