WSU EUNOIA Volume III

NATURAL LOOP
TING-WEI SHIH | GRADUATE ARCH STUDIO | SPRING 2021
According to the studies of Spokane, Washington’s existing social problems, and a
primary search on the relationship between human psychological factors with social
behavior, a mental health care center concentrating on children and juveniles is in
need. Thomas et al. (2017) stated that the deviation behavior among teenagers is a
serious social problem; besides, this misbehavior potentially influences their future
behavior approach. To devote to better living conditions for citizens in Spokane, it is
critical to help those K-12 students reform their mental status.
The mix-used building includes the community center, education center, and pet
apartment. These three programs are formed as a loop to form a healthy personality
for children and teenagers. When a visitor walks in the loop, the natural elements are
filled into the building loop.
