| dc.description.abstract | The built environments we occupy regularly have a strong and
lasting impact on our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual
health. This leads to the question of: What role can architecture
play in facilitating healing environments through the building
design? This design project narrows in on a specific alternative
medicinal method called chromotherapy, or color therapy, and
shows how it can be applied in the design world. To further
advance the research, a psychological research experiment was
conducted on human subjects to record the correlation between
colored environments and biophysical senses. The biophysical
senses that were stimulated in the experiment were further
analyzed in a correlational research study to determine which
colors mitigate which illness. The results will then be implemented
in architecture to create healing spaces through design. | en_US |
