My main concept for the chemotherapy center is to provide patients
with a physical and psychological healing experience with the use of
light and nature. I chose these two main subjects because nature and
light have been proven to make patients heal faster, not only in the
physical but also in the psychological aspect.
So in order to offer the patients a revitalizing experience, I decided to
recreate an outside environment in an interior space. I am proposing
an interior garden in the central area of the site. Inside this garden
I will recreate natural light with the use of technology, this garden
will be surrounded by the treatment rooms, that will have a direct
view to the garden and will also be provided with color therapy. This
kind of therapy has also proved to help patients to heal in a physical
and psychological level. Each patient would be able to customize the
light’s color depending on what particular part of the body they need
treatment for as well as for what mood they are feeling like that day.
