healing Lotus is heavily built around Evidence Based Design. Access to nature and emitting natural lighting into the facility provides a therapeutic environment for reducing pain, anxiety and stress. nature is a major factor that is used heavily to reflect a familiar atmosphere, where patients and guests can feel comfortable and relaxed. Healing Gardens in a form of a Labyrinth

Circle will provide a sense of tranquility and meditation to promote positive behavior. natural Colors and textures will bring the exterior atmosphere indoors and create a soothing and calming environment to promote care and spiritual wellness. Social support and positive distractions, such as family centers, inspirational artwork and gardens, way-finding elements allow the patients and family to feel comfortable, cope

effectively and make healthy life choices. Sustainable design is found throughout the facility by creating a safe and healthy environment. Proper interior finishing materials reduce the release of VoCs and other health effects. EďŹƒcient lighting increases productivity as well as increase motivation and productivity.

This group assignment was focused on reverse engineering. As a team project, erica and I worked together through the project by conversing the construction of the Reception Desk. Comprehending the construction, we equally divided the project. on my behalf, the floorplan, elevation, section, and notations were drafted in AutoCad. once drafted, erica created a 3D model based on the plans in AutoCad. Per finalizing a final set of drawing, we both worked together to apply finishes to the model and revise our drawings and model.
