Using architecture in a way that affect the user’s psychology has always been a familiar concept that designers followed since the beginning of history. Salutogenic architecture has been related mostly to healthcare settings, especially pediatric ones and its whole purpose is to provide patients with the necessary and suitable treatment in a an overall therapeutic environment.

In order to provide this special and attentive treatment for patients,this project will follow the theory of Salutogenic architecture,

For salutogenic architecture to be applied, three domains must be considered in the project:

2. Manageability

3. Meaningfulness

Pediatric Cancer Center

The pediatric cancer center will be divided to five main zones:

- Administration zone: This includes the information desks, interviewing, assessment and volunteering rooms

-Educational zones: This part includes healthcare and kids libraries.

-Healing zone: This includes playgrounds, healing gardens, artistic rooms to provide a a joyful environment for patients

- Public zone: It includes waiting areas, cafeteria, resting room.

When mentioning a commercial or a shopping center locally, the general idea is to form a rigid building containing variety of functions, limiting by that the circulation to the interior of the project. In this project, and to break this common ideology, the project wil be integrated with its surrounding with a public opened court, allowing the users to experience both natural and artificial satisfaction in the project.

Breaking this traditional typology can help users and even locals to advantage from the healthy environment provided by the project, either from the variety of plants surrounding it or the creation of a void from the ceiling that allows natural light and ventilation.

The project will include:

-Commercial Center (mall/ food court/ cinemas and entertainment center.)

-Office Building

-Residential buildings including three different flat areas

-Separte Parking areas for each function

Entrance for offices will be at the beginning of the site to allow employees to come to their work and not having to get stuck in the traffic

At the entrance of the mall, the skylight in the ceiling is sucked into a void that goes all the way down to the main atrium, through a funneled glass facade. This void has many environmetal advantages in addition of the aesthettic ones, making it a perfect solution in a similar project.

The office building includes an atrium which lays right above the atrium of the mall, providing visual connectivity between the employees and the public. This will help to relax the staff in the office building and involve them with the surrounding even during work hours.
