A fytreat Centre for WHoCe Okalth<br />
2.0 Design<br />
2.1 Brief<br />
By establishing a connection between healing and architecture, it was<br />
decided that a retreat centre would best incorporate ideas of health through<br />
architecture. Although the healing effects of architecture could be translated<br />
to any building type such as a school or a home or an office space, a healing<br />
centre was chosen because of its direct connection to the various modalities<br />
of healing. Therefore, the Retreat or Centre was best suited to embody and<br />
translate notions of health and wellness. The following section involves<br />
evaluating and interpreting elements from the preceding investigation and<br />
applying those concepts toward a practical design solution where site<br />
became an integral clue for design decisions.<br />
