8. THE HOME AS HIGHEST-TECH-HEALTH-HUB<br />
BY OLIVIA HOUGHTON AND JESSICA SMITH<br />
<strong>Wellness</strong> architecture has previously focused on amenities<br />
like meditation rooms and cold plunge pools. Now homes,<br />
and even cities, are becoming high-tech, multifaceted health<br />
hubs, involving everything from medical-grade home healthmonitoring<br />
systems to smart furnishings that adjust in realtime<br />
to individual needs. With homes becoming advanced<br />
'outpatient' care centers powered by digital health services<br />
like monitoring and diagnostic technology, it is expected<br />
that in the next five years, 45% of healthcare services will be<br />
delivered at home.<br />
A new generation of textiles means that the fabrics surrounding<br />
will become interactive interfaces, with personalized biosoundscapes<br />
grounded in our real-time biometric and<br />
environmental data. Our homes will evolve into multifaceted<br />
ecosystems creating living spaces that capture our biometrics<br />
and create environments dynamically extending from our own<br />
psyches.<br />
9. A NEW MULTISENSORY, IMMERSIVE ART FOR<br />
WELLNESS<br />
BY ARI PERALTA<br />
New tech-enabled art, powered by innovations such as<br />
generative AI, projection mapping, and spatial sound<br />
technologies, brings us into an era of multisensory, immersive<br />
art that engages our senses as we participate and is<br />
expressly designed to transform our mental well-being.<br />
Museums, hotels, and spas are incorporating multisensory art<br />
experiences, prioritizing wellness. The Mandala Lab in New<br />
York City combines video, scent, sculpture, and sound, based<br />
on Buddhist principles, into a holistic, spiritual exhibit. At the<br />
Termemilano spa in Milan, Italy, a video skyscape of stormy<br />
skies surrounds a hydrotherapy pool, creating an unmatched<br />
vibe. Six Senses Resorts are creating multisensory somatic<br />
experiences, like bio-alchemy sculptures infused with scents,<br />
flotation experiences suffused with ocean sounds, or geodesic<br />
domes with vibroacoustic floors.<br />

Multisensory, immersive art is becoming widespread in<br />
public places, from installations across cityscapes to AIdriven<br />
art that utilizes facial screening to deliver audio-visuals<br />
based on emotions. In the future, as wearables become<br />
more widespread, generative artworks will become even<br />
more hyper-personalized, participatory and therapeutically<br />
effective.<br />
