To cure daily anxiety through 3 transition spaces by providing spatial and sensorial treatment in order to promote internal and societal awareness.

This is a capstone project done by a student, Kitty Lee, from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Design, Interior and Environment design. 

Capstone project Arch-olgy proposes 3 mental healing pavilions in the dense setting of Hong Kong. Using 3 urban and accessible transition spaces the project looks at the spatial embodiment of specific treatment plans to help alleviate anxiety, stress and mental illnesses commonly found in the city. mediation. Each designed with a specific user group in mind (Ladder Street, Harbourside and Causewaybay), the pavilions link the experience of spaces and metal stimulus together. The white pavilion – Causewaybay - provides a daily respite from the urban grind, where people can find solitude or inflection to secure their mental state of mind. The colour pavilion – Ladder street – focuses on colour as meditation elements, with the water pavilion – Harbourside – uses the material of water as mechanism to provide meditative stimulus within the short period of reprieve.
