Emotional Wellbeing
The future of mental health care is faced with the question of how
to deal with the increased prevalence of depression in the world,
especially among young people. Can the role of architecture ex-
tend from housing practices of healing to include its participation
in facilitating, encouraging and improving the process of healing?
Situated within the culturally diverse context of Melbourne
Australia, the ambition of this project has been to achieve a
realistic balance between the provision of low-threshold and
private spaces while combining the physical requirements of
clinical rehabilitation with a consideration of the spiritual and
emotional sides connected to mental health.
