 STAGE 06: - CONCLUSION

I have referred to all the case studies and articles based on the palliative and hospice care facility. Looking to all those references and existing health care functionality regards to cancer care, I initiated the project incorporating all those design strategies that uses environmental and behavioural psychology to improve the experience, healing and curing process for both the patient and doctors.

The project uses scientifically-proven research on how light, surroundings and access to nature affect mental and physical well-being to inform design decisions throughout.

The whole project is designed keeping in mind the basic psychology of cancer patient for the disease and design further enhance the architecture paradigm to break the stereotype regarding the existing health care system.

Across the campus you’ll find street network and otlas which will interpret the feeling of rural area and facilitates better social communication, elevated walkways at multilevel, common activity area for the patient, family member, researchers, nurses and doctors, Ghats, open air dinning, buffer zone, green belt and recreation areas for yoga, and meditation. All of this is designed so that patient can heal through this disease effectively.

Such palliative care promotes more awareness in the society towards life threatening disease like cancer and also aids the aspirants to learn and analyse how to improve the health care system in a better way.

This project helped me to understand the relation between human and architecture.
