NOLA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Project statement

TREAT, HEAL, CONNECT: Utilizing connections to biophilic healing, and inter-generational design strategies around education and food. Our Behavioral Health Facility aims to create space that nurutes the needs of patients and community members by becoming a tool for learning and interpersonalrelatioship building across all ages.

This facility will provide adult behavioral healthcare with geriatric treatment & service components. We feel it is important to implement design strategies that encourage transition and increase patient conﬁ dence in their journey from inpatient. This is done through maximizing varying levels of interaction (physical/visual) in patient gardens and courtyards, while having extroverted community functions mimic this as well with green spaces, food garde, and community center that better engages senior populations.

DESIGN THESIS:

Treat, Heal, Connect; Utilizing connections to biophilic healing, and inter-generational design strategies around education and food, our Behavioral Health Facility aims to create space that nurtures the needs of patients and community members by becoming a tool for learning and interpersonal relationship building across the age spectrum.

This facility will provide adult behavioral healthcare with geriatric treatment & service components. We feel it is important to implement design strategies that encourage transition and increase patient confidence in their journey to phase out of inpatient treatment. This is done through maximizing varying levels of interaction(physical/visual) in patient gardens and courtyards, while having extroverted community functions mimic this as well with, green spaces,a food garden/market, and community center that better engages senior populations.

1. gardening and horticulture activities have shown to engender environmental stewardship among children, reduce self-reported fatigue while maintaining joint flexibility among adults (e.g., Yamane et al., 2004), and reduce perception of pain among senior populations with arthritis.

2. The act of touching real plant life, versus synthetic plants, has also shown to induce relaxation through a change in cerebral blood flow rates. These examples give reason to believe that the experience of touching other elements in nature, such as water or raw materials, may result in similar health outcomes.
