HARVESTING TRANQUILITY, WHERE NATURE TELLS ITS STORY.










This research addresses urban stress in the Philippines by combining spatial storytelling and affective design in an agricultural wellness resort. It aims to improve the resort experience and fill the gap in locally sustainable, immersive wellness centers. The study fosters a deep connection with the agricultural environment's natural and cultural aspects, encouraging handson farming engagement, environmental awareness, and stress reduction. Using qualitative methods like case studies and interviews, the research explores current practices and the potential impact of the proposed design. Findings show that integrating spatial storytelling and affective design enhances user experience, promotes positive emotions, and offers a transformative, sustainable wellness experience.
