Abstract
Every day, the environments that surround are constantly impacting who we are and how we feel. Unfortunately, the power that we hold as designers is often overlooked, especially in the fields of healthcare and healing. With illnesses such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, an autoimmune disorder compact full of chronic illnesses, being in the right environment when it comes to healing can make a world of a difference. Through studying fields dealing with biophilic design and psychology and looking toward nature itself for help, we should be able to better design for healing. Throughout time, architecture has seem to have lost some of its soul, its meaning and place. Looking towards our deep needs for healing presents a great opportunity to connect back with our work and ourselves. It is time to bring soul back into our every intention.
