Connecting with nature provides physical and mental health benefits, yet current nursing home design does not make the natural world a priority. By using biophilic design strategies it is possible to incorporate many of the health benefits provided by nature. This thesis reinvents the nursing home interior to create a more holistic and healthy environment for all its residents.

People today are addicted to tangible material goods, neglecting the precious value of how intangibility satisfied people in the past. This thesis explores the possibility of conveying poetry into architecture, through a library and exhibition space that creates a calm and engaging space of immaterial possibility.

This thesis explores the collision of two universal cultural phenomena, Film and Architecture, with a focus on phenomenological experience. The primary subject of this narrative is “loss.” Through transposing cinematic techniques into the interiors, these spaces heighten and dramatize user experience both physically and emotionally, suggesting a novel approach to memorial design. Pier of Grief is a safe haven for people who are grieving and a symbol of resilience for individuals who have overcome their testing times. With the inundation of violence, insensitivity, and hostility it is crucial more now than ever to encourage people to get in touch with their feelings and foster connections through shared vulnerabilities, and more importantly to take a pause and reflect upon what has gone by and what we have left. Like a cathartic film, this memorial creates a world filled by our own feelings allowing a highly personal and fulfilling experience.

Understanding the process & experience of recovery for substance abuse disorders, and how to design and visually represent an atmosphere of comfort, healing, and connection to nature in a rehabilitation facility.

This thesis project explores how the elementary shapes and forms cooperate and translate the design functionality and circulation within multiple dimensions. The transition between graphic 2 dimensional and extruded 3 dimensional spatial elements create a complex yet minimal interior architecture which accommodates a diverse range of programmatic functions.

This thesis interweaves the conceptual approach of parametricism with the haptic experience of phenomenology. It takes the program of a museum, going beyond the exhibition of artwork to consider it as a destination site and tourist attraction.
