ALMA 01

Location: Manaus, Brazil

Site Area: 15,000 sq ft

Softwares Used: Revit & Enscape

Term: Fall 2022-Winter 2023

Alma is a stigma-free and inclusive wellness center where Gen-Xers can feel at ease addressing their mental health concerns placing a strong emphasis on prioritizing and promoting their overall mental wellness without fear of judgment.

GEN-X THE FORGOTTEN GENERATION

Back in their early days, they were considered lost because of the shifting societal values at the time – divorces were high, and they were lonely children. Another main issue that contributes to this name is that many companies decide to focus on catering to Millennials or Baby Boomers. Generation X (ages 38-53) has essentially fallen off the radar among marketers

Over half (54.7%) of adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment, totaling over 28 million individuals.

A 2017 study involving more than 200 individuals with mental illness over a period of two years found that greater self-stigma was associated with poorer recovery from mental illness after one and two years.

Harmful effects of stigma:

• Reduced hope

• Lower self-esteem

• Reluctance to seek help

• Social isolation

Issues

NO DISCUSSION

Gen’Xers belonged to a generation in which talking about mental health was viewed as unusual or wrong.

This caused Gen’Xers to be one of the generations that seeks least help regarding mental health issues.

Gen’Xers also reported more anxiety and depression symptoms, heavy drinking, and drug use.

How can interior design be used to support personal healing for a generation that has been hesitant to seek help for years?

Goals

Create a space where GenXers can treat their mental health and wellness without felling they are in a medical facility

Reduce stigma around mental health and raise awareness using interior design

Create a space where users can feel safe and comfortable to seek for help

Inner Bloom

This project will take inspiration from a famous indigenous legend about the origin of the Vitoria Regia, one of the world’s largest and strongest floating aquatic plants, also known as the symbol of the Amazon. The legend is about a young girl who drowned in the river and was reborn as a lily pad. Inner bloom means internal blossoming, to connect with yourself and find the power within to grow and like the Vitória Regia .

To avoid acoustic pollution and exaggerated reverberation sound absorbing panels were added throughout the space. In addition to this, individual offices and quiet areas were incorporated to increase acoustic privacy.

To reduce the exposure to chemicals and promote indoor air quality, materials with low VOCs were chosen with the preference for recycled or naturally sourced materials like reclaimed wood
