4 ELEMENT CREATIVE THERAPY

Abstract

The project focuses on the artistic and creative use of four (4) natural Elements: Light, Earth, Water and wind to create such an aesthetic experience for mental health patients that it helps them revise their memories and express them in the form of art and personally grow. The primary objective of this project is to bridge a gap between therapy and arts so that it can help one personally grow and self-express. The project explores how natural elements in our surrounding can prove to be helpful in creating an experience that it ultimately helps the user of the space to re think, reflect, and explore themselves subjectively through arts. Thus the goal is to use arts and creativity as a medium of expression and natural elements a means to self-explore; collectively to be used in architecture. The typology of this program is both healthcare and educational. Since natural elements play a vital role for this project so the site attributes that matter the most are the presence of Light, earth, water and wind in a way that they can be moulded along with the architecture itself.
