Abstract
Architecture can be a driving force of change within communities. Through a new kind of public park with therapeutic experience pavilions based on community interaction and integration, as well as innovative architectural design. This thesis explores the creation of spaces that allow for a further push for a general acceptance of cognitive behavior therapy in culture. Through researching what methods of cognitive behavioral therapy are wildly successful, combining that with research on innovative sensory architectural techniques and interactive art Installations to create perspective altering experiences. In which, for visitors, the physical and emotional distance required for self-reflection is created. The intent is to provide a place where cognitive behavioral therapy can be more easily approached while eliminating a common negative stigma behind seeking help when it is needed.
