dc.description.abstract | Mental health is a state of psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing
that can have a variety of difficulties that affect the daily function
of a person. Mental illness is a persistent problem, with the most frequent
anxiety disorders being generalized, social, panic, and depression.
These illnesses may affect anyone, regardless of background especially
children. Because of the influence on the transition to maturity, focusing
on children’s mental health is extremely important.
The National Mental Health Act was established in 1946, making the
psychological well-being of the people a federal priority. It highlighted
research aimed at dramatically improving diagnosis and treatment
options. Architecture evolves in tandem with society’s social requirements.
These new public values lead to the development of children’s mental
health centers.
The paradigm shift we hoped for has taken a long time to arrive, and
it brings with it new strategies of architecture. One of these new ways
is salutogenic design, which is defined as a method that prioritizes
the support of human health and well-being. The main goal of
this project is to show how salutogenic design can have a positive
influence on youths' mental health through the built environment. The
building's architecture will incorporate natural links with nature and
how children might benefit in the healing process, particularly for
young people. | en_US |
