Just as how the stages and process of sleep is referred to as sleep architecture,
there must be an architectural building that addresses all aspects
of sleep. That is through, educating the visitors on proper sleep hygiene,
research facility to further understand sleep and dreams, sleep monitoring
areas, a sleep library, an architectural experience of the different stages of
sleep, a sleep rehab center that consists of physical activity and meditation as
well as a mental rehab, and an urban landscape space of dreamlike design.
The possibilities are endless, but a space such as this does not exist. Different
architectural styles could be incorporated to design the building such as
dreamscapes, nocturnal architecture, restorative architecture, and meditative
architecture. An architecture space is not only desirable but also needed to
combat issues such as sleep disorders that affects many people today.
