WELLNESS CENTER

CHAPTER ONE

“THE BEST IS YET TO COME.” -Frank Sinatra

WELLNESS (wellness) . English (n.) The state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.

PROJECT DEFINITION AND CULTURE A wellness center is a facility that provides physical and mental health treatments. Skin care and body services, such as fitness, personal training, and dietary counseling, are frequently available at wellness facilities.

The goal of many Wellness Centers is to help people live healthier lives. This might include everything from giving individualized fitness regimens to providing exercise equipment

WELLNESS CENTER A wellness center is a place that offers health services for both mind and body. It offers relaxation and or recreation to the users. Resorts will always offer accommodations as well, in which case people might refer to such locations as a “resort and wellness center.”

JUSTIFICATION OF NEED Health reports indicate various numbers that shows the importance of healthcare facility needs : • Resorts are a good choice for tourists who enjoy scheduled activities as well as those who are less adventurous or who do not want to put in a lot of time planning their trip. • Individuals, families, and organizations that are vacationing or combining business and pleasure can take advantage of the resort concept's services and amenities.

Also, many people nowadays are unaware of what a Wellness Center is or what services it offers. Many people have been unable to take advantage of the numerous benefits due to a lack of awareness. In fact, many wellness clinics these days are merely places where people may get information about various therapies and alternatives. Many wellness centers take insurance and provide treatments that have been shown to help prevent illness and simply live a healthy lifestyle.

AIM OF THE PROJECT

a resort aims to provide you with much comfort as possible in terms of space, relaxation and recreation.

Design Considerations While Designing a Resort • • • • • • • •

Recovered cancer patients

- Olaa Alsanani

Due to earlier cancer identification and advancements in general health- and cancer-care, cancer patients are projected to fully recover after treatment. The wellness center's goal is to bring all cancer survivors to a place where they can redirect their lifestyles in a better direction. and re-establish contact with life in a peaceful environment

Pregnancy and post birth wellness center - Maryam Sater “Women are half the society” and they give birth to the other half... and to ensure that we minimize exhaustion during that period, this wellness center will provide the full needed care in its perfect ways... and that will achieve the 2030 vision when people will start coming from outside the country to experience these kinds of services because pregnant women are everywhere and they definitely need them... and that will accomplish the 2030 vision when people will start coming from outside the country to experience these kinds of services because pregnant women are everywhere and they definitely need.

“Signs are to eyes what words are to ears.” - Rawan Albanna The concept "deaf culture" refers to a mindset that sees deafness as a distinction in human experience rather than a disability. The goal is to promote awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of deaf people's human rights, as well as to support all sign language users' linguistic and cultural identities.

CHAPTER TWO

YOUR LIFE DOEES NOT DEFINE YOU, YOUR STRENGTH AND COURAGE DOES.

.1 Lighting:

WELLNESS CENTER 1

When it comes to designing the lighting for a wellness center, the only thing that matters is the end product. The most typical mistake made in the lighting design of a spa or wellness center is to include too many lighting fixtures, as mentioned in the following paragraphs. To begin with, a bright atmosphere is not always enough. For all clients It is critical in this circumstance to place a larger focus on quality than quantity. For the guests, the overall environment must be pleasant, comfortable, and welcome e. Visitors to a wellness center clearly do not require illumination that allows them to see at a distance of 100 meters . With only a few LUX, guests would be able to relax and roam around the spa in complete safety . More specifically, light in the 10 to 20 lx range will fulfill all of the customers' demands, though there will undoubtedly be exceptions for the elderly and others with special needs.

WELLNESS CENTER 2

How to illuminate?

The relaxation areas:

merely soft

– if possible – indirect

areas the light needs to be:

warm color temperature maximum of 3000 K.

minimum of 2200 K

For a relaxation areas LED new technologies it is now possible to reduce both light quantity and color as desired.

WELLNESS CENTER 3

How to illuminate?

The Shower areas: If it's not possible to achieve indirect light… - you should at least try to direct the light sources towards the walls, because the lighting fixtures inside the shower areas must have a higher IP protection rate.

This way.. you may create a beautiful atmosphere without losing visual comfort..

WELLNESS CENTER 5

How to illuminate?

The Massage Room : Since it is so important like this for the client to feel comfortable, these rooms should be covered with indirect or filtered LED lighting, soft, low intensity and, above all, very warm light. A simple device called a dimmer is used to adjust the intensity of light. Therapists will be able to choose the most appropriate environment in this way. They can keep the light dim during the massage. They only must increase the intensity of the light when they need to clean the room.

Warm Light

Dimmer Light

WELLNESS CENTER 6

How to illuminate?

The Corridors: The light around the corridors should assist guests in finding their way without blinding them. Putting step lights on the walls with downward light projection is a simple solution. Or use interior design-related decorative lights or staff beads to create a wall-washing effect that is always mild and indirect.

This type of lighting in the wall helps the person to easily walk

In Conclusion… It is the light that directs your spaces and the light that makes the strongest impression on your guests.

.2ColorColors : Your World to Relieve Stress :

By Staff Writer - November 16, 2018

WELLNESS CENTER 1

Color is one of the simple ways to create a big impact on your area. Colors that reflect nature (such as green, blue, and brown) have been shown to have a good impact on employee..

Green: Green is a fantastic choice for spaces that want to inspire alertness, invention, and creativity because it is associated with nature Blue: The blue light from your phone makes it difficult to fall asleep since vibrant tones of blue can promote vitality and productivity. on the other hand Pale blue tones , can imitate our perception of light at the end of the day and have a similar effect to soft green tones in terms of fostering peace and relaxation. In other stories, these two colors produce a similar energy to what we saw previously when we looked at them.. Brown: Brown is a powerful, striking color that exudes professionalism. Brown-based colors can serve as a good background and balance for more bright colors.

WELLNESS CENTER 2

For long-term patients, an all-white environment can produce visual under-stimulation and so discomfort . Orange is not suggested as a background color in medical departments, although it is very popular in maternity units. Blue is not encouraged in cardiology since it makes diagnosis more difficult. Yellow should not be used in maternity units because it makes it difficult to diagnose jaundice, and oranges and reds are hated in mental health hospitals. Green flooring, according to one medical department, is particularly good at revealing spills, thereby reducing the risk of accidents caused by slick floors.

Therefore, Colors are more neutral than you may think pay close attention to this, small areas of rich colors can make the whole painting look colorful.. “MATT SMITH”

.3 Acoustic In Health Care Environment

WELLNESS CENTER 1

Acoustics are an important part of a lot of things. Updated healthcare design requirements; several research identifying acoustical design techniques. There has been research done on the circumstances in healthcare settings. Acoustics in Healthcare Environments:

(1)

gives an overview of the most frequent acoustic issues encountered in healthcare.

(2)

examines the influence of acoustics on the residents of different places across the United States.

(3) provides evidence-based design ideas that may be utilized to increase acoustic performance in various settings, circumstances in healthcare settings In healthcare settings, specific acoustical issues include promoting patient well-being and privacy, facilitating staff communication, and adhering to standards and laws (e.g., HIPAA). In hospital facilities, creating a suitable acoustic environment can help to enhance safety, health, healing, and well-being for all occupants. Furthermore, protecting speech privacy in healthcare settings aids in the reduction of medical mistakes by promoting open communication among patients, families, and PCTs, as well as influencing patient satisfaction. Patients may be hesitant to disclose comprehensive information regarding their medical issues and/or worries if they are unsure about their privacy, thereby jeopardizing their health.

Poor acoustics can harm a patient's physiological health and increase their risks of being readmitted to the hospital. Acoustics can also affect patients' and their families' sense of privacy, comfort, safety, and security.

WELLNESS CENTER 2

Consider how the sound environment in healthcare facilities might affect the physiological and psychological well-being of patients and their families: • Patients may have "startle reflexes," which include grimacing, elevated blood pressure, and accelerated respiration rates. • In hospital settings, sleep disturbance and deprivation are often mentioned problems. Reduced noise levels in intensive care units (ICUs) may aid sleep and promote a normal wake/sleep cycle for patients. • Low-frequency noise produced by mechanical systems in hospitals can be a cause of irritation for patients, resulting in increased blood pressure and sleep disturbance. The results of studies on the effect of noise on PCTs have been mixed. They suggest that while PCTs may be able to execute activities in a noisy setting, they may have to expend more effort to do so, resulting in increased tiredness. 6 Even for highly trained and educated PCTs who are prepared to manage difficult situations, poor psychosocial circumstances might develop when acoustic settings are inadequate. Sound can reach a person's ear directly from a source (direct sound), after reflecting off one or more surfaces (reflected sound), after traveling through a shared, solid, structural component such as a wall or ceiling (transmitted sound), or after bending over and around partitions (bent sound) (i.e., diffracted sound). Noise levels in hospitals can be reduced by architectural design techniques such as putting staff rest rooms away from noise sources and acoustical environment decisions such as installing quieter alarms and machinery.

WELLNESS CENTER 3 Sound Pressure Level (SPL) - On a decibel scale, the physical loudness of a sound is measured by the air pressure change generated by a sound wave. Background Noise - Any direct or indirect sound that can be heard by humans and has the potential to interfere with desired (e.g., medical equipment alerts) or undesirable (e.g., private talks) sound messages. Reverberation Time - When the source of sound has ended, the time it takes for sound to decline by 60 decibels. Noise levels in hospitals can be reduced by architectural design techniques such as putting staff rest rooms away from noise sources and acoustical environment decisions such as installing quieter alarms and machinery. Acoustic standards are revised on a regular basis to incorporate the most up-to-date and reliable measurement techniques. Current standards should be always examined, and places should be built to fulfill them. The following are some of the most popular measuring methods used in the healthcare design sector which are: •

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)- a number that shows the sound absorbing capabilities of a material based on the substance's average absorption over main speech information frequencies (250 Hz to 2000 Hz).

•

Sound Transmission Class (STC)- a measure of how effective building elements (such as walls, ceilings, floors, and glass) are at reducing sound transmission. The higher the number, the more effective the material is in reducing noise transmission.

WELLNESS CENTER 4

Noise sources outside can have a considerable impact on noise levels within, hence site design can have a significant impact on acoustics in healthcare settings. When choosing a location for a healthcare center, keep the following in mind.

Recognize that different forms of environmental controls are often subject to different levels of regulatory or functional oversight at different locations. noise. They might have everything for example:

Emergency generators

Facility

HVAC equipment

Take into account all current and potential sources of income. noise for example :

Highways

Airports

they are in the construction phase and have the potential to be passed through the vehicle's outer shell Including the interior of the structure

WELLNESS CENTER 5

The acoustic environment can be greatly influenced by space planning. Choosing which spaces will be adjacent to one another and how the space should be laid out necessitates careful consideration of how specific each place is. The amount of privacy required, as well as the acceptable background noise level, are all aspects to consider. For space planning, consider the following design considerations: Space Planning To lower noise levels elsewhere in the Wellness center :

Create distinct

include private meeting rooms

acoustically quiet locations

A good acoustic environment cannot be achieved solely through space layout. Privacy and noise transmission should be supported by the design of walls, floors, and ceilings. The acoustic environment can be strongly influenced by the materials and finishes used on the ceilings, walls, and flooring. The use of noise-reducing finishes in healthcare environments has been shown to improve patients' sleep, privacy, satisfaction, and PCT stress

WELLNESS CENTER 6 Ceilings The use of an acoustic ceiling tile (ACT) can reduce reverberation times and improve voice intelligibility, potentially improving the psychosocial working environment for PCTs. When it comes to achieving the right level of speech privacy in healthcare situations, choosing the right ceiling is crucial. Different ceilings are frequently required in different regions. Consider how much noise needs to be absorbed, blocked, and/or covered when choosing a ceiling (i.e., masked). When selecting ceilings in healthcare contexts, keep the following in mind: ■ Incorporate a suspended acoustical ceiling system with sound-absorbing ceiling tiles to provide a good acoustic environment when space and logistical concerns allow. If this isn't possible or practical, consider installing sound-absorbing panels directly on the ceiling and top walls, as this may still give significant noise reduction ■ Non-absorbing ceilings may allow sound to reflect from one location to another or to be transmitted through the ceiling plenum to another space, potentially compromising privacy.

Floors By picking proper flooring materials and finishes, it is feasible to reduce impact noise created by footfalls and rolling carts. 26 When choosing flooring for a healthcare environment, keep the following in mind: ■ Be careful that some (e.g., rubber) produce less impact noise than others (e.g., vinyl composition tile laid directly on concrete or terrazzo).. ■ Reduce vibrations generated by rolling machinery by minimizing the usage of floor discontinuities (e.g., expansion breaks and transitions).

WELLNESS CENTER 7 Walls When it comes to establishing a suitable acoustic environment, wall structure and surface materials are crucial. It's critical to keep flanking noise from detracting from any wall assembly's intended performance. Any acoustical performance will be significantly reduced if a partition is breached. Take into account the following: ■ Recognize that penetrating the ceiling membrane is the most effective approach to achieve wall performance. When the partition is nondemising, that is, it extends from one floor to the underside of the structural deck or concrete slab on the following story, it improves even more. Additional detailing may be necessary if the wall is demising or finishes at the ceiling plane.

■ Recognize that doors can have a significant detrimental influence on a wall's acoustic performance. Even with a fully sealed gasketed solid core door, starting with a 48 STC wall, the total STC will drop to. The performance of any glazing in the partition will be the same.. In conclusion, it is very important to block out the sound in the spa because the main goal of the product is comfort and relaxation

.4 Experiential Design

WELLNESS CENTER 1 What is an experience? The term "experience" came from the usability community, and it may refer to services, activities, or any system that a person can travel through, regardless of whether a device is utilized in the user journey. To know what experience design is as a subject, we must first know what designers mean by "experiences." Experiences, also known as user experiences, are frequently defined as what individuals think and feel in the moment when engaging with a product such as the iPhone. It's about the aesthetics of user-device interaction, and in this case, the emphasis is still very much on the product, with the experience occurring mainly in the apps, not with the devices. Another point of view proposed by Marc Hassenzahl is to think of experience as a memorized tale of use or consumption that develops from how a user makes sense of the environment, a metamorphosis that puts the user in a story that will affect his way of life. He offers the example of a sunrise-like wake-up light with bird sounds to favorably impact user behavior while waking up in the morning.

What is an experience design ? Designing experiences takes priority over product design for Hassenzahl, who considers the wrapping to be secondary. It indicates that experience designers must be more concerned with the "why" of product usage, as opposed to usability, which is still primarily concerned with the "how," or the aesthetic of interaction, including the features offered. While usability focuses on making a product simpler to use, experience design focuses on testing the model, thinking first about the desired impact on people, and concentrating on the consequences of using a product and how they may be affected. User Experience design, according to Reiss, is "the intentional effort of organizing controllable connections, acknowledging interactions that are beyond our control, and eliminating unpleasant interactions" (Reiss, n.d.). It indicates that while designers do not have complete control over the user experience, they are responsible for coordinating a dynamic set of interactions, including the emotional and physical responses that these experiences create.

WELLNESS CENTER 2 Design process During a discussion at Hyper Island on May 21, 2018, Matt Kendall, Creative Director of Retrofuzz, a digital creative firm in Manchester, said that the experience design approach is a blend of Design Thinking, Lean, and Agile techniques. Design Thinking, according to Kendall, is good at investigating the problem, whereas Lean is good at developing the right thing and Agile is good at building the right thing (Kendall, 2018). All of these techniques are people-centric, non-linear, and repetitive, which means they use a human-centered approach to design and employ fast prototyping to test solutions with actual users before repeating until the target goal is achieved.

Design Thinking and Double Diamond Before exploring the solution space to construct the right item in the right way, designers can use the Design Thinking approach to define the appropriate challenge to overcome. The two methods of thinking performed by designers are also important to make clear in the Design Thinking process reflected by the diamond shape: divergent thinking to make choices and convergent thinking to make decisions (Brown, 2009, p.67). Both the issue and the solution are defined using these two styles of thinking.

WELLNESS CENTER 3 The phases of the design process There are four phases based on the double diamond model and its sequence of divergent and convergent thinking: -'Discover' is the research phase in which designers attempt to see the world with fresh eyes and connect with their users in order to get insights. -'Define' indicates the synthesis phase, in which designers attempt to make sense of all the data acquired in order to discover important insights that will allow the creation of a meaningful and actionable issue statement, giving clarity and focus to the next design space. -'Develop' starts the ideation process, in which designers produce numerous ideas, develop concepts, and review them.

-'Delivery' refers to the phase in which designers create models to test with users and learn from them in addition to repeat until they get the intended result. Although non-linear, each phase has its set of tools and techniques that help experience designers feel comfortable wading into the messy complexity of going through the design process of creating something new for the world. Tools and techniques An emphasis on the tools and strategies utilized during the process is given through case studies from Hyper Island's expertise to properly understand the experience design discipline. 1-Discover During the research phase, experience designers do primary and secondary research, also known as design research, to get a better understanding of the requirements, motivations, and behaviors of the people they design for, as well as the project's specific environment.

WELLNESS CENTER 4 2-Desk research Desk research, also known as secondary research, is an excellent place to start when carrying out a research since it helps designers know the context and lead primary research. It seeks to learn about an industry, an organization, opponents, similar products or services, market research report, trend analysis, and studies from reliable sources (Stickdorn et al., 2018, p.8).

3-Interviews As "there is no better way understanding the dreams, ambitions, and aspirations of individuals you are creating for than by talking to them personally," interviews are at the heart of human-centered design (Ideo, 2015, p.39). Ideo also emphasizes the necessity of speaking with the appropriate people, which includes a wide range of individuals from both the mainstream and the extremes, as well as finding the right balance of specialists and laypeople, women and men, people of all ages and nationalities (IDEO, 2015, p.36, p.49). 3-Survey Surveys are an excellent addition to interviews since they allow you to easily collect large quantities of data about your users. Creating a fantastic survey, on the other hand, is difficult since drafting excellent questions takes time. Define During the defining phase, experience designers try to make sense of all the data collected in order to find design possibilities.

1-Personas A persona is a method for synthesizing user research by developing a fictional character that represents a group of real groups of people with common traits and requirements. Personas also aid in the narrowing of the target audience; rather than creating for everyone, designers may create for the persona(s), increasing the odds of product success.

WELLNESS CENTER 5 2-Experience Map An experience map is a tool illustrating an actual or future persona’s journey within a given domain by focusing on the broader context of human activity. In contrast, customer journey maps which are very similar, tend to view the individual as a consumer of a product or service and analyze his relationship with the offering of an organization. 3-Design synthesis Synthesis is a collaborative sensemaking process in human-centered design that leads to the creation of a consistent summary of all the data collected throughout the design study (Cooper-Wright, 2015). The method consists of a set of approaches that teams use to get to an agreement on how to reframe a design problem (Ideo, 2015). Develop The goal of the planning stage is to generate a large number of ideas based on the reframed issue. To drive creativity and find new solutions, experience designers employ abstract thinking and build on one other's ideas. They sketch ideas, develop concepts, and assess them using a variety of solo and group approaches. 1-Crazy 8's Crazy 8's is a quick sketching competition that requires participants to sketch eight concepts in under eight minutes. The objective is to move beyond the first ideas, which are often not the most original, and come up with a diverse set of solutions to the design problem (Google, n.d.). Deliver Prototyping enables experienced designers to instantly bring their ideas to life by transforming abstract thoughts into something physical. Prototypes can be created at any point during the design process, not just during the delivery stage. They may offer a new perspective on research, assist in team communication, test assumptions, and discover if it is what users require. Experience designers may develop prototypes in a variety of methods, ranging from low to high definition, and they can change their methodologies based on whether they're designing a new product, service, location, system, or company. The audience (who), information (what), and objective (why) should all be considered when determining the level of accuracy (Viney and Teague, 2018).

WELLNESS CENTER 6 1-Low-fidelity prototype Rough sketching, paper models of digital interfaces, storyboards, models, role plays, and a business model canvas are among the items on the list. They offer the advantages of being affordable, quick to construct, and collaborative, but they lack fine details and interactions and do not give a realistic sense. 2-Medium fidelity prototype Often used for digital goods, wireframe clickthrough's are slightly more detailed, still basic, but closer to the answer. They provide a clearer idea of what the solution may look like and are excellent for fine-tuning its implementation while still allowing for direction changes and alternatives testing. 3-High-resolution prototype Facades, models, and motion studies are common examples of digital prototypes. They are more precise and descriptive, but the higher their fidelity, the more expensive, inflexible, and skill-required they become. Before going on to the execution of solutions, they are the final line of testing. Ethical issues If creating experiences involves thinking about how a design will affect people, designers should consider what type of changes they want to see. Empathy aids experience designers in understanding their users' requirements; it should also aid them in designing solutions that "secure users' right of choice" and "inspire positive behavior changes" (Tollady, 2016). It stresses the big responsibility and power designers have in how they shape their solutions and implies that they should know what would be a positive change for the people they design for. Not being aware of it could lead experience designers to create solutions that impact negatively people’s decision and, therefore, the way a society behaves. Understanding the concepts of behavioral economics, which looks at human behavior only through the prism of decision-making, might aid experience designers in learning how to encourage people to modify their behavior for the better. However, ethical frameworks are required to enable excellent experience design practice.

WELLNESS CENTER 7 Conclusion Experience designers appear to be the master of this new symphony, aiming to create meaningful stories for users as services and goods are linked through a series of physical and digital interactions. Experience Design is not a new design discipline in and of itself, but rather a new mentality that has emerged as a result of the transition from technologydriven to social and human-driven innovation. Experience designers are empathetic product and service designers who consider the effects of their designs before creating memorable experiences that will improve people's lives. They are, in what seems like a sense, "design activists" in the new world. References: BAYLÉ, M. Experience Design: a new discipline? In-text: (Baylé, 2018) Your Bibliography: Baylé, M., 2018.

.5 Patients’ needs for rehabilitation services

WELLNESS CENTER 1 To analyze cancer patients' requirements for rehabilitation administrations and components related with such necessities, and besides recognize neglected requirements for restoration benefits and related variables. Material and techniques.

A few patients were reached by their treating hospital clinic getting a sent survey. Fundamental results for the current review were estimated by two inquiries surveying:

A. NEEDS FOR RECOVERY ADMINISTRATIO N

B. RESTORATION ADMINISTRATIO N OFFERED

For each question seven administrations were recorded; ✓ Exercise based recuperation ✓ Actual preparing, mental directing ✓ Discussions with social specialist ✓ Word related treatment steady gathering meetings and induction to a recovering home. The respondents then, at that point, evaluated how much they had encountered needs and in the event that they had been offered and utilized each assistance.

WELLNESS CENTER 2 The people who detailed requirement for a help that not had been offered were characterized as having neglected need. Relationship between segment, wellbeing related, and result factors were dissected by multivariate strategic and direct relapse investigations. • Results: Among the 1 325 respondents, the mean age was 52 years and 70% were ladies. 63% announced requirement for somewhere around one recovery administration. Need for non-intrusive treatment was most often announced (43%), trailed by actual preparing (34%), mental directing (27%), steady gathering meetings (24%), permission to a recuperating home (24%), conference with social laborer (19%) and word related treatment (6%). Changes in business status and continuous or past chemotherapy were related with detailing needs for all methods of restoration. 40% identified requirements that had been overlooked, which most every now and again was accounted for among people living alone, who had changed their work status, getting or had gotten chemotherapy or announced comorbidities.

WELLNESS CENTER 3 Rehabilitation is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "processes aimed at enabling persons with disabilities to achieve and maintain optimal: • physical, sensory • intellectual • psychological, and/or social function” Rehabilitative services include: • rehabilitative medical care • physical, psychological • and occupational therapy • as well as support services. Needs for specialized rehabilitation services are important in terms of service development, pricing, and resource allocation from the standpoint of the health-care system. Cancer survivors may require different rehabilitation therapies at different times and of varying complexity in order to (re)gain as much function as possible due to the diversity of reduced function following cancer therapy. Some cancer patients will require professional support for a specific problem that can be addressed by a single type of health care provider, such as lymphedema physical therapy (single rehabilitation). Other patients will require a variety of rehabilitation programs, including financial aid.

WELLNESS CENTER 4 Patients and study design Patients who took part in this cross-sectional survey were part of a large inquiry into cancer patients' work and financial situations [12]. In 2008, the Cancer Registry of Norway (CRN) identified eligible patients. Cancer patients aged 25–60 years who were diagnosed for the first time in 2005/2006 with one of the ten most common types of cancer in each gender in Norway (breast-, prostate-, colorectal/anal-, cervix/corpus-, uteri/ovarian-, lung-, and testicular cancer, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, bladder/urethra tumors, nerve system, and thyroid cancer). There were no exclusion criteria for those with active cancer or those who were already undergoing cancer treatment. The patients should have received their initial treatment at one of four hospitals located in different health regions around the country to ensure regional representation. Following identification at the CRN, each hospital was given a list of patients who had been treated there. If one or more of the following criteria were present, patients were ruled out: 1) being uninformed of a cancer diagnosis 2) being in such a medical condition that it was deemed unethical to require patients to complete the questionnaire (i.e. highly advanced or fatal disease) 3) mental retardation, decreased cognitive function, or a diagnosis of serious psychiatric disorder. Along with the invitation letter, eligible patients got a questionnaire. The patient agrees to participate by returning the questionnaire. Because all responses were anonymous, no reminders were made.

WELLNESS CENTER 5 The items representing rehabilitation service needs and rehabilitation services offered/used were the study's outcome variables. Two questions were used to measure these variables: In relation to your cancer, to what extent have you needed the following rehabilitation services? In relation to your cancer, how much have you been provided and utilized the following rehabilitation services?

.1 PHYSICAL THERAPY

.2 PHYSICAL TRAINING

.6 PSYCHOLOG ICAL COUNSELIN G

.4 CONSULTA TION W/ SOCIAL WORKER

.5 OCCUPAT IONAL THERAPY

.6 SUPPORT IVE GROUP SESSION

➢

The responder was asked to rate his or her need for each rehabilitation service on a 3point verbal rating scale ("No need," "Some need," and "Large need") when answering question 1 (needs for services). In the analysis of variables linked with the need for each rehabilitation service, the responses were dichotomized into "no need" and "need" (the latter combining "some need" and "big need").

➢

When answering question 1, the respondent was asked to rate his or her need for each rehabilitation service on a three-point verbal rating scale ("No need," "Some need," and "Large need") (needs for services). The responses were dichotomized into "no need" and "need" in the analysis of variables linked to the need for each rehabilitation service (the latter combining "some need" and "big need").

WELLNESS CENTER 6 Unmet need for rehabilitation and associated factors Overall, 37% said they didn't require any rehabilitation services, while 63% said they needed at least one. • Physical therapy was the most often mentioned need (43%) • followed by physical training (34%) • psychological counseling (27%) • supportive group sessions (24%) • admission to a convalescent home (24%) • contact with a social worker (19%) • and occupational therapy (6%) Figure 1 shows the percentages of cancer patients that require seven different types of rehabilitation therapy.

WELLNESS CENTER 7 Unmet need for rehabilitation and associated factors In total, 40% of patients reported unmet needs, with 20% reporting one unmet need, 10% reporting two unmet needs, and just 1% reporting seven unmet needs. 9% of all patients were not offered physical therapy despite reporting a need for it, while 22% of those in need of physical training and 17% of those in need of psychological counseling were also not offered these services. Figure 2: Needed and available rehabilitation services.

WELLNESS CENTER 8

Conclusion The majority of cancer patients say they require one form of rehabilitation treatment, while two-thirds say they need two or more, and 40% say they have an unmet need for rehabilitation. Future attention should, in our opinion, be focused more on the content of the services and their effects, and prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal content of cancer rehabilitation services and when they are most needed, as well as to identify patients who will benefit from the various services.

The Effect of Natural Elements on Mental Health

WELLNESS CENTER 2 Starting from hanging gardens of Babylon ending with orange gardens of Seville, you will notice that back in the days engineers always took their inspiration from the nature surrounding. And on the other hand those who are living in the prison of concrete and bricks only knew how its important to be surrounded by greens when the pandemic hit. Therefore people realized how important it is to have green power around you. Where it automatically gives you calmness and joy.

NATURE

According to the World Health Organization, "well-being" is "a condition in which an individual recognizes his or her own potential, can cope with typical pressures of life, can work effectively and fruitfully, and can contribute to his or her community."

MENTAL JEALTH

anything in the physical world that isn't produced by humans (plants, animals, mountains, oceans, stars, etc.)

It is a correspond relationship between these two points where the more nature Is in the space the better the mental health is

WELLNESS CENTER 2 Green spaces aren’t just for nature they boost our mental health too

Nature

Mental health

Looking into the importance of the relationship between humans and nature. It was not surprising to the scientist the ecologist and psychologist where their studies were based on that specific relationship which is too complicated and complex to understand Even though the pandemic got us thinking that we need more nature in our lives through proving how it positively affects our minds, but in a world like ours. One that keeps getting more advanced, increasingly, the chance of nature accessibility is decreasing therefore they understood the danger and now started building with nature in mind, which will be beneficial for both sides. By knowing and understanding how to screen organized and new buildings by implementing that the quality of life will be automatically increase and will also result an amazing biodiversity which we all rely on.

WELLNESS CENTER 2 Life originally started green , where studies showed that although human beings were here 300,000 years before, the oldest. Urban living cities existed 6000 years before. Whether true is it the reason begin that or not. The last couple years have experienced A huge amount of research is that embraced the strong bond between greater contact with nature Not only you have greater physical health, but you also have enhanced mental wellbeing.

Old Bahrain : We notice how they preserve the nature side of the downtown

Bahrain today : All the natural element are being replaced with urbanized buildings and streets

Future Bahrain : Urbanization will continue but in a green friendly way to increase the productivity and enhance the optimistic view of the citizens

WELLNESS CENTER 2 Our aversion to nature and green places may be due to our late arrival in cities. Edward O. Wilson, a biologist, coined the term "biophilia" to describe his notion. Wilson made this link clear in 1984. His theory was that the environment in which humans developed changed our brains, preparing us to respond favorably to signs that would have helped our forefathers survive, such as lakes, trees, savannah. This, according to Wilson, is why being in nature makes us happy. Similar to the roll of heart and blood circulation diseases, mental health concerns account for one third of all years spent disabled Studies showed the strong impact of nature on the most common psychological illness and proved how positive it is on depression, anxiety and mood disorder. Being close to nature also has other benefits than the ones we mentioned earlier which are enhancing the quality of sleep and decrease stress, it also increases the level of happiness as well as promoting for happy and helpful social interactions and even gives the person meaning to live. Existing in natural environments generates many things to think about. It also boosts:

Attention

Creativity Memorizing

in everyone despite them suffering from depression or not.

WELLNESS CENTER 2

It is very hard with having all these researchers and studies to decide what is helpful and for a who. Specialized people ask, “how much nature do I need” Doctors from the United Kingdom are now able to advise activities that are purely natural such as beach walks, and bird observing to deal with mental problems not only that but also physical problems and in other countries they even provided a whole program to heal these kind of conditions by showering in the woods. Another theory is that the mental health impact is transmitted through physical health: city dwellers who live near green spaces simply exercise more, which enhances their mental health. However, the majority of evidence shows contrary. In many cultures, visiting green areas is linked with sedentary social activities such as picnics rather than physical activity. That might be a source of natural advantages in and of itself: socializing can help people feel less lonely, anxious, and depressed. Being a member of a supportive community is certainly beneficial to one's mental health, and research suggests that attractive public places are a catalyst for forming cohesive community

That might be a source of natural advantages in and of itself: socializing can help people feel less lonely, anxious, and depressed. Being a member of a supportive community is certainly beneficial to one's mental health, and research suggests that attractive public places are a catalyst for forming cohesive community Interestingly some Switzerland scientists found out that’s only by waking up on a natural view can decrease discrimination of noise, also if the natural space is closer to you in distance more shows the effect. It claims that everyday concentrated thought is cognitively exhausting, with negative effects for mood, and that nature's diverse sensory environment provides a healing sensory environment that relieves this attention fatigue. But that's just informed speculation at this point. To identify the many processes, we need to be innovative with our investigations," adds Berman. That's only half of the tale. We know that healthy natural areas offer us with a wide range of important "ecosystem services" for free, including clean air and water, nutrient recycling, flood defense, and pollination, in addition to mental health benefits. In an ideal world, while building or redesigning urban settings, we should seek to maximize biodiversity advantages as well. How do we go about doing that?

WELLNESS CENTER ‫لكبار السن احفاد‬

We live in a society where the care of young and old is increasingly separated, with very limited opportunity for the two age groups to interact. These generations can become great resources for each other - all we need to do is put them in the same place. So, I decided to merge a nursing home with an orphanage, so that the elderly would have grandchildren and could never feel lonely. As for the orphans, they feel that the elderly are their true grandparents, they empathize with them and learn a lot from them. ‫ مع‬، ‫نحن نعيش في مجتمع يتم فيه الفصل بشكل متزايد بين رعاية الصغار والكبار‬ ‫ يمكن أن تصبح هذه األجيال‬.‫وجود فرصة محدودة للغاية للتفاعل بين الفئتين العمريتين‬ .‫ كل ما نحتاج إلى القيام به هو وضعها في نفس المكان‬- ‫موارد كبيرة لبعضها البعض‬ ‫ حتى يكون للمسنين أحفاد وال‬، ‫ قررت دمج دار لرعاية المسنين مع دار لأليتام‬، ‫لذلك‬ ‫ فيشعرون أن كبار السن هم أجدادهم الحقيقيون‬، ‫ أما بالنسبة لأليتام‬.‫يشعروا بالوحدة أبدًا‬ .‫ فهم يتعاطفون معهم ويتعلمون الكثير منهم‬،

ABOUT THE EXTERIOR

Moving around is made easier by a central indoor access space and the variably built covered pathways. The covered walkways, with their fair-faced concrete access staircases, are a particularly excellent transition between the inside and the outdoors. The big garden is located to the south of these spatial changes. The projecting arcades also provide shade from direct sunshine, keeping the structure from overheating. When the weather is terrible, it also allows you to get out into the fresh air without getting wet.

ACHROMATIC

The building has been built as a simple concrete structure, with the folded layers, walls, supports, and stairs remaining untreated and regarded as structural features. Layers of acoustic panels, wall coverings, tiles, or built-in furniture are added to the walls and ceilings depending on the functional requirement. The color and material concept is based on the tension interplay between the rough fair-faced concrete and the color splashes represented by these extra pieces.

It comes as state-of-the-art technology the use of a wood construction system called CLT. Wood is the main material of this project not only for its sense of spatial warmth -the idea of creating a warm and friendly environment- but also due to its flexibility of use, essential in the case of the Healthcare Center, dividing areas of controlled dimension without losing the advantages that a single large space can provide.

LIGHTING

The design, the choice of plant species, and the different furniture elements have a common objective: to facilitate contact with nature to contribute to wellbeing and help to improve the quality of life of people.

In the central courtyard -the core center of the project- rises an olive tree, organization that promoted the project. This patio supports and illuminates the central circulation area that is intended as a wide but slow space, always accompanied by the image of the olive tree that transmits sensitivity and tranquility. The patio also articulates six modules for different uses, each with its own independent garden, having 75% of the green area at the plot. The outdoor spaces were designed to be part of the healthcare therapies and treatments.

HOW WILL THE CASE STUDY BENEFIT ME: If we combine each of these projects, we will find that they both share the simplicity of the place and the simplicity and unity of the materiel. When we see the project of the elderly, we find that they used wood for most places. As for the children’s project, we see that they used concrete. This will make it easier for me later when I choose the type of material. As for the areas that are in the middle of the building, we will see that the project for the elderly put the courtyard, as for the project for the young ones, they put the common area, this gave me the feeling of merging these two ideas together, so I can later put the courtyard as a gathering area. As for the lighting, I noticed that both projects used sunlight a lot.

Materials and furnishings used in the interior infuse this healthcare facility with warmth and hospitality. The look and feel of the interior environment more closely resembles a hotel or spa, with an elegantly designed lobby, floor-to-ceiling windows, valet parking, and a coffee bar.

STUDY INTERIOR SPACE: ABOUT THE SPACE: A deliberate layering of glass, copper-colored metal, and neutral stone forms the building’s architectural expression, which directly relates to the patient experience—their comfort, privacy, and warmth—while simultaneously establishing the building’s unique identity on the campus.

LIGHTING: -sunlight is the main source coming thru massive windows -Led Lights -Spotlight

FURNITURE Modern style furniture

Metal & wooden Tables & Chairs

ABOUT THE EXTERIOR

At each level, the public elevators open to a wood feature wall with an oversized graphic numeral in contrasting wood tones to highlight the level being accessed. Public restrooms tuck discretely behind these wood walls. Large waiting lounges on each floor, in close proximity to the elevators, are carpeted and appointed with chairs and sofas in mostly light neutral hues. A unique sense of transparency was achieved through the use of slatted wood divider walls and a mix of clear and etched glass in the lounges and at check-in on the second floor.

The east and west facades are clad with a solar shading system composed of repetitive rectangular quarter-inch aluminum composite panels (ACP) perforated with half-inch diameter holes yielding a 40 percent openness factor. The panels are folded once at a calculated angle, bending outward to reveal a shaded view of the surrounding desert context from the interior. This copper-toned assembly takes on the coloration of the landscape, adding a contextual aesthetic to the project.

As with the Case Study, it has opened my thoughts to how I would design the wellness center and what materials will be best for the patients' feelings. Meanwhile, as I continued to go over their plan, I noticed that they had a lot of useful components that I may employ while creating the area.

“Signs are to eyes what words are to ears.” - Ken Glickman

The concept "deaf culture" refers to a mindset that sees deafness as a distinction in human experience rather than a disability. The goal is to promote awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of deaf people's human rights, as well as to support all sign language users' linguistic and cultural identities.

CLIMATE : Tokyo, located on the main island of Honshu, has a humid climate with hot and humid summers and moderate winters. The coldest month is generally January, with temperatures averaging 5°C (41°F), while the warmest month is August, with temperatures averaging 31°C (88°F).

ARCHITECT : Takeshi Hosaka

SITE :

Site: 58.43 m2 Building area: 36.00 m2

YEAR : Planning start: May 2010 Beginning of construction: September 2010

WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT: Its about a small minimal two-story house that a deaf couple live in with their two children. The two sides of the building face small streets in an overcrowded residential area in Tokyo's Itabashi ward. The house’s special feature that makes it special that it has hundreds of small openings/windows all over the place, walls, ceilings and even on the floors. As it gives the deaf couple an easier way to communicate with each other using the sign language and for children to communicate with each other by their voice.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY : •

Color scheme is neutral with having wooden parquet and white paint

•

Materials have been used are wood , cement, and glass. In addition to plantation.

•

For the furniture choice, the space is almost empty of furniture, having only a hammock bed and a couple of bean bags. As only having the most necessary furniture.

STUDY OF INTERIOR SPACE: TEXTURE: Smooth white painting at the exterior and interior

LIGHTING: Natural light passing through the openings Few LED lights

FURNITURE: Minimal furniture having just a hammock bed and bean bag and some other very necessary furniture giving the space a minimal look/impression Plantations are to be found within the space

PLANTATION: Tall plants climb up through some of the ceiling openings to the open-plan first floor from ceramic pots sitting on surfaces in the two ground-level rooms.

OPENINGS: The openings in the walls are used to allow air and light in from the outside, as well as communication between the interior and a small garden. Children with hearing capacity communicate vocally through this little window, whereas parents without hearing capability communicate with children with hearing capability through sign language

STUDY OF INTERIOR SPACE: POSITIVE ASPESCTS: Openings gives a way for the deaf to communicate, in addition for their children to communicate with each other vocally in a more fun and impressive way Natural sun exposure into the place helps improving mental health such as: Reducing stress, better sleep, strengthens immune system, etc. Color scheme is calm and neutral that gives a nice cozy environment

NEGATIVE ASPECTS: The furniture is very minimal, as the whole space only have a hammock bed and a couple of bean bags No private space in the house, very are is open Small area Location of the house is located in a narrow road with an overpopulated people living in the area

HOW THIS DESIGN WILL BENEFIT ME: This case study has a lot of benefits to learn from such as having lights color helps emphasizing the sign language, openings around the space also helps in achieving that

UNDERSTANDING THE NEEDS OF DEAF USERS DEAF-SPACE DESIGN: 1- SENSORY REACH: Through an intense sensitivity to multisensory signals such as the movement of shadows, vibrations, or even the reading of subtle shifts in the expression/position of others around them, deaf people "read" the activities in their surroundings that may not be immediately apparent to many hearing people. Many components of the built environment may be tailored to aid spatial awareness "in 360 degrees" as well as orientation and navigation.

2-SPACE AND PROXMITY: Individuals must stand at a distance to observe the signer's facial expression and the entire dimension of the signer's "signing space" in order to maintain clear visual communication. The distance between two signers is usually larger than in a spoken interaction. As the number of people in a chat group grows, the distance between them grows to allow all parties to see each other. The essential arrangement of furniture and architectural spaces is influenced by this basic dimension of the distance between individuals.

3-LIGHT AND COLOR: Glare, shadow patterns, and backlighting all disrupt visual communication and are important contributors to the causes of eye fatigue, which can lead to a lack of attention and even physical tiredness. Electric lighting and architectural components that influence sunshine can be set up to create a gentle, diffused light that is "attuned to deaf eyes." Color can be used to contrast skin tones in order to emphasize sign language and aid visual navigation.

4-ACOUSTICS: Hearing loss affects deaf people in a variety of ways and to varying degrees. Many people use hearing aids or cochlear implants to improve their hearing. Many deaf persons, regardless of their hearing ability, perceive sound in a way that might be distracting, especially for those who use assistive hearing equipment. For those who use assistive equipment, reverberation generated by sound waves reflected by hard building surfaces can be particularly irritating, if not unpleasant. Reverberation and other forms of background noise should be minimized in spaces.

.5 New maternity hospital ( NMH ) \ pregnant woman

BASIC INFORMATION NAME OF PROJECT:

Kuwait New Maternity Hospital (KNMH)

LOCATION : Kuwait

CLIMATE : In Kuwait, there's a subtropical desert environment, with gentle winters and extremely warm summers. The sun as a rule sparkles throughout the entire year. Winter, from December to February, is gentle: the day by day normal temperature in January is 13.5. Summer in Kuwait is scorchingly blistering and blustery; the common breeze blows from the inside, and accordingly the impact of the ocean is negligible. From June to August, the temperature is regularly around 45/46 °

ARCHITECT :

SSH design company

SITE : Building size :: the built-up area of 351,000 m2 including services and parking, as for the gross area involved is 18,000 m2 Site: it is located in Sabah health region. It overlooks the sea to help increase the wellness .

YEAR :

11 .1.2009

CLIENTS : Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Health, Kuwait

THE PROJECT INCLUDES :

WELLNESS CENTER Case Study

1. the Main Building with 3 towers, of which the highest reaches 18 floors 2. an Annex Building, which hosts ambulatory services, administrative offices and an Auditorium 3. one Multi-Story Car Park with 1300 parking places 4. three air-conditioned pedestrian bridges connecting the current hospital to the new buildings

PROJECT STUDY : ZOONING There are some special components in the new building which are an external pharmacy, where the patients can get whatever they want \ need even though they're not medical needs. Also there is a nice gesture from the hospital where they placed for the mothers and parents a Mothercare branch to easily reach the needs of their newborn babies or even all babies.

- Color scheme :

Organic shaped lights Beige monochrome Hidden LED tape lighting

Natural ligh as well as shown here the sectio

Natural green

- Materials : Greige wooden panels for the ceiling

Two colored marble for flooring

columns : Off-white aluminum / it was also used for parts o the ceiling while the other part is gypsum

- Furniture layout : Column attached \ built in seating’s Topped with chamois fabric in different colors : yellow + lemon green + green

Greige wooden table

Chamois puffs in verity of colors

Study of users:

This picture is from a part of the new main hospital .

This space is considered as the hospital’s square.. Because the shops are placed there. Usually, you will face visitors and patient's company as well as the medical crew . This area is not as much quiet as the other components in the hospital due to the shops and facilities surrounding .

This is a space which is considered close to the hospital’s square, but it is also an intersection between the hospital’s departments. It is quieter than the square, usually these kind of intersections combines and gather’s all kind of people “ medical crew \ patients and their company

This picture is a part of the new main hospital.

This is how the users of the hospital despite their role there transfer from one building to another “ these are the bridges A,B and C “ it is not only saving time as its main mission as a bridge but it also raises the mental health to the human walking there and give them a quick chance to meditate where these bridges overlook the sea and the hospital’s garden.

Study of user's exterior space : This is how soothing the hospital looks from the outside .. The complexion of its structure, the colors used in the space.. All of this combined creates an unconscious feeling of relieve to the patient.. Grey wall panels, black steel ceilings and wide windows and nature surrounding . What a perfect combination. Day picture of the hospital from the seaside.

This view embraces how much they intended to place greeneries around the space so patients can feel connected to the nature and to the outside world and help them appreciate their existence. Night picture of the hospital from a raised point of view .

Study of users : PLAN LAYOUT

COMPONANTS

BUILDING SERVICES : Golf cars from the parking to the main entrance Maintenance room.

Car parks “ many levels with shades “

Obvious car road and path to the entrance and for drop off

To conclude here are the negative and positive points in this case :

-Car parks numbers is perfect -the Inpatient accommodation and Outpatient clinics are well prepared -The bridges next to their main mission which is transferring, are providing a mental pause and meditation area for all passengers due to their view. The hospital also provided external shops and spaces that you don’t usually see or find in hospitals but is definitely needed “mothercare \ all purpose pharmacy /etc..”

-Although the building is huge but there are not many accessible entrances to shorten the walking distance for the hospital visitors . -The interior of the main new building does not go along with the old main building .. Where they didn’t renovate the old one therefore there is a huge gap design wise . -Not enough special components that serve’s mothers who are there. -They could’ve distributed the components in a more beneficial way from the sea where most of the main components are not overlooking the sea although they are the most used.

From what I concluded from this case study .. I now know what to avoid while designing my wellness center and it definitely gave me ideas to implement in my design.

.5 DESIGN GUIDELINES :

4.5.1 DESIGN GUIDELINES -Variety of regulatory aspects must be considered when designing a wellness center, ranging from the structure's regular functional and organizational characteristics (lighting, indoor temperature, air quality, etc.) to the safety of users and personnel (escape routes, workers' health and safety, etc.).

-Browns and neutrals are the essence of nature, and they're utilized a lot in design. Brown and neutral tones may convey a variety of emotions, including serenity and tranquility, wholesomeness and durability.

TEXTURE: Light & Dark Concrete -Appropriate materials: Must ensure that the materials we choose complement the space's purpose, such as robust and pleasant materials for the furniture in the space , and treated materials for flooring and walls pendent light

Vertical Wooden wall panels

4.5.1 DESIGN GUIDELINES

ORGANIZING SPACES : -Zones are divided based on the precise activities that take place in those locations, allowing you to simply manage all the objects in the space that are related to that activity.

USER NEEDS : Providing the needed components for the users need by having multiple therapy area, gyms, consultation rooms etc. to serve different practices. In addition, having courtyards, gardens etc. to engage nature into the space, by using natural materials into the space.

TECHNICAL DETAILS: In a work environment that necessitates the use of heavy equipment and installations, attention to technical details of equipment placement and adjustments, such as drawings with proper installation methods, is critical; however, moving and heavy use may affect the placement, so it must be checked on a regular basis.

5.2.3 Style of architecture & interior

The chosen building consists of three masses, two are identical and facing each other and the third one is placed in the middle with a courtyard surrounding it and facing the beach. the two main structures will be symmetrical to promote internal balance and harmony, as well as ease of mobility. The third structure is a crossing point across the two main symmetrical structures. As it provides some form of separation between the first and second parts to establish a distinction between them and having plantation.

.5 CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION When designing a wellness resort center, it's critical to examine, research, and consider the surrounding area, which has a significant role in how the center will be known or heard of. Analyzing the construction of the building also has a big impact on how the functions, entrances, and exits are arranged and how functional they are in the building.
