| dc.description.abstract | Anchored Leaf is a mental health rehabilitation center that is designed around the condition of veterans struggling with
mental health. The design is projected to emphasize the connection between the ‘human’ element and architecture.
Elements of the design that will take place will incorporate and hopefully seek to the visualizer of the message and story
it is trying to project. Using elements such as spatial planning and adding in the 5 human senses to help bring back or
stabilize the mental fortitude of the center’s residents. Anchored Leaf is a new and creative way to express design through
architecture as well as the emotion and noise it can make without speaking.
The site located in Virginia. The site was chosen specifically for the fact that the state of Virginia has born the
some of the most Medal of Honor recipients than any state. The history and emotion that this site invokes staples in the
true meaning behind Anchored Leaf. Being surrounded by the mountainous regions and beautiful scenery will help
bring back that nature feeling towards its residents.
The focus of this thesis is to help the veterans that have given the most sacrifice to this country the help they need
and deserve. It is design centered around having a center that is looked at as a place of healing, communication, and
understanding. The common misconception is that veterans who have mental disorders have been exposed to trauma
over various deployments. Trauma can happen anywhere at any time in any situation. The mind is fragile and should be
treated as such but treated with respect and care. | en_US |
