Therapeutic Spaces - I

‚The visual effect of a building have
a very direct effect on our emotions.
They can be depressing or uplifting,
soothing, or surprising, welcoming or
forbidding.‛

Based on Neuroarchitecture
by John Eberhard


• A space inspired from organic shapes and orientation,
with no conventional patterns, captivates and retains
interest because it is not habituated by the brain as
happens with normal spaces. The movement of visual
interest in such spaces would allow us to think also in
directions that we never attempted to think before.

• Further on the elements of High Ceiling, Colors, Nature,
Lighting and Reduction of Sharp Angles adds to the
psychological benefit of the dweller.


Therapeutic Spaces - II

• Man’s primordial instincts revolt against threatening
of his space by any intruder. But his ‘civic’ morals do
not allow him to follow the Fight or Flight response
triggered by his brain. His psychological and physical
health fails due to un neutralized adrenaline in his
blood stream. Later on he is likely to become a
sociopath.

• Man spontaneously derives association with spaces he
interacts with into personal, intimate and social spaces.
He has rules of allowing people into these spaces based
on law of Proxemics..


• The concept is to
create a home space in
an urban condominium
which respects the
personal, intimate and
social spaces to the
extent it should.

• It also considers
maximizing on the
given space by
reorienting
conventional spatial
distribution.


• Social space – for any
comer. It is welcoming
but not inviting,
comfortable but not
conniving.

• Intimate Space – for
those who qualifies as
friends and close
acquaintance.

• Personal Space –
Strictly private. Only
for the owner’s use and
discretion.


• Illusion of larger space.

• Effective cross
ventilation.

• Vision restrictions as
required for each spaces.

• Larger balcony area.

• Multiple access to fire
exits.


Temporal Catalyst of Desire

Woman prevails as both object of
admiration and of distraction in the one
eyed media disillusioning viewer from
introspective details, and manipulative
inversions, that he is not encouraged to
see. Her presence cast a spell that keeps
him bound to indulge in the
superficiality of the VIEW, building
beliefs in what he see.. She dons her
postulates and stalks the perceptible
scope propounding it, making her
representation as seen through the
voyeuristic key-hole media the most
coveted vehicle of transaction of all
times.


Installation

Alternate Power Generation

This idea entails creating energy
from footsteps. The pressure energy
from the foot goes into the
movement of the body forward. But
the pressure energy can also be
converted into electrical energy by
installing transducers.
