Neuroarchitecture: Neuroscience Institute in Benghazi

Abstract

My final project is Neuroscience Institute in Libya. The concept of this project aims to explore how to combine the two disciplines: Architecture and Neuroscience to create a healing environment that could enhance the recovery of the pediatric patient. Research shows that after getting the neurological disease, the patient's behavior and mood will change due to the injury. The brain could recover by help from not only the clinical treatment but also the enhanced environment. The following concepts such as nature, daylight, cultural recovery, and wayfinding show how to create the environment that will stimulate the patient's brain, and thus to achieve the purpose of shortening the recovery time. Additionally, the conclusion indicates what I learned from the process of the final design.
