Abstract

Our relationship with loss is something that has dwindled overtime due to the lack of representation of death within our modern society. At the same time, I believe that our healthcare facilities have also played a part in the degradation of that relationship because of its specialized environments that have disconnected from those emotions. How does mental health architecture further include our environment? Can we blend the line and weave together life, loss, healing, and architecture? This thesis will seek to develop that relationship and bring it back to the forefront through architecture. Bringing together two separate typologies, a memorial and a research facility, I will hope to discover how we can design spaces that appeal to the differences. At the same time, remaining incredibly focused on discovering a new experience.
