CONCLUSION CONCLUSION

Recognizing the lack of psychological assistance as well as the need for alternative therapies, this research finds art as the main resource to satisfy this problem. This through creative-artistic therapies, which use the arts to treat patients. For this, a therapy center focused mainly on stress, anxiety and depression is proposed. It is intended that this be an inclusive place by treating a diversity of patients from infants to older adults with different conditions and diagnoses.

This proposal seeks to respond to these needs by seeking to create a place where not only these alternative therapies are provided, but also a place that provides tranquility, security and confidence. Where when people enter, they feel the comfort they need to heal and rehabilitate. For this, it is sought that the architecture itself responds accordingly, proposing an architecture that together with art and nature coexist to generate a space of serenity, harmony and that promotes expression. Through its materiality and variety of spaces. To achieve this in the investigation it is concluded to create a Wellness Center specialized in creative-artistic therapies. Where its main function is the four main parts (art, music, dance and drama), but also provides the opportunity to give other alternative therapies such as yoga and meditation.

Following one of the criteria of the architect Karabo, “Healing Dead Spaces” seeks for the place to collaborate with the existing community, not being a place that is inhibited, but rather, that seeks to integrate and help the community. Since it is understood that this is where more people can be reached, who can be educated about the importance of maintaining stable mental health, and that it is bad for us to seek help when needed.

This is important to stress not only globally, but also in our own homes, communities, and everyday environments. Psychological services should be within easy reach and must be inclusive. For this reason, this research focuses on Puerto Rico, which, according to what was analyzed, is one of the countries with the highest incidence of mental problems and with serious problems in satisfying the need for psychological services. Well, its mental health system is archaic compared to the systems of other countries, it is traditional and there is a shortage of professionals on the island. For this reason it is determined necessary to propose this type of project on the island, where its need is proven.
