Embodiment: the lived body in medicine and architecture Anholt, Teri Jill

Abstract

This thesis project is about reinstating the human body into healthcare architecture. Implicit in this intention are ideas about tactility, intimacy, and movement as experiential aspects of architectural perception. The project attempts to bring physical form to a new paradigm about wholistic healthcare involving a continuum that ranges from a reactive approach to health involving treatment of injury and disability to a proactive approach to health involving preventative and fitness programs.
