According to the United Nations data set, the urban population is anticipated to rise to 68% by 2050, with the vast majority of this growth occurring in Asia and Africa. According to this forecast, the population is expected to gradually migrate from rural to urban regions, which would lead to an exponential rise in the number of urban young. As more population flock to urban living, city designers are often paid scant attention to the arrangement of spaces that youth inhabit. Similar to the mental healthcare architecture; as it sent a ‘heavy’ message to patients about pain, death, treatment, cleanliness, and seclusion. All these aspects are seen in hospital design, and the aura that pervades them has aided in the perpetuation of unfavourable impressions of hospitals throughout history. In the post modernist era, the hospital was conceived as a functional place rather than a living Mentalspace. and physical health are inextricably linked and essential to an individual’s entire well-being. Hence, an understanding of neuroarchitecture will put a greater focus on the relationship between mental processes in architectural environments, as well as their impact on the emotional and physical health. The intersection of architecture and neuroscience can tell us about how we perceive, imagine, interpret, and respond to building. abstract
The youth revival hub is envisioned as an new care prototype that aims to be a trendsetter, a benchmark that affects the rehabilitation design scheme in terms of aesthetics, psychological comforts for human functions, and experiences to create a therapeutic support system in the youth network. Henceforth, apart from designing spaces for basic human needs, the focus should also be extended to the mental and spiritual well-being. People-centred space and human experiences should be emphasise to create an emotionally healthy ©environment.2022.author

01 BACKGROUND STUDIES
Malaysia has been undergoing rapid industrialization and economic expansion, which has resulted rapid urbanization since the 1970’s. By 2050, 72.8 percent of Malaysia’s population is expected to live in urban Modernareas.demanding lifestyle and monotonous living environment have magnified the emotional vulnerability in today’s youth due to their unstable and dynamic characteristics, leading to the mental illness issue. Furthermore, the human visibility is being reduced due to the inhumane scale of volume and the standardised infrastructure a fostering sense of placelessness in living context. The featureless apartment blocks discouraged a sense of community and the open spaces between blocks are forming an illconceived public spaces. There is a decline in intimate communication in predominantly urban society since they put a premium on visual recognition which leads to a machinebased style of living in urban area.
10 the risk of urban living
Age 15-24range:years old Urban Youth
The United Nations (2019) defines ‘youth’ as persons aged between 15 and 24 and refers to the period between childhood and adulthood, whilst urban is described as the human settlement with a high population density. Youth were often referred as the ‘age of majority’, which a person is treated equally in the eyes of the law. In highly urbanised societies in Asia, youth struggle to cope with the pressure of social change and intense urban development. The demanding lifestyle and distressed neighbourhoods have concerned the youth living as they are consistently marginalised from the diverse urban communities. Hence, it is vital to revive the community bond between the disconnected youth with other social groups.Youth can bring social reform and can improve the condition of society

The modern demanding lifestyle and monotonous living environment have magnified the emotional vulnerability in today’s youth, leading to the mental illness issue. The consequences of not addressing youth mental health conditions will be extended to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting the opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as an adult. youth urban living
vicious cycle of depression modern demanding lifestyle social emotionaldepressionstressvulnerability
Youth are stereotypically recognised as the healthiest generation and are generally neglected by the healthcare services. According to Social Science Research Council (SSRC) in 2013, prolonged social isolation and loneliness can put them at a higher risk of experiencing mental health issues throughout their lives. Moreover, from the mental illness perspective, the adverse social lens has been highlighted as a substantial obstacle to seeking assistance and receiving treatment. In 2020, WHO reported that an estimated 10-20% of youth globally experience mental health conditions, yet these remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. Previous research has found that public stigma is a major factor in being hesitant to communicate and concerns about one’s mental health state with friends, family members, and others.
To date, the urbanisation and Covid-19 crisis have deteriorated the youth’s mental health and previous research showed that urban youth have a higher rate of psychological issues. The mental health problems have been increasing among the urban youth community, as about half of the mental illness are known to begin in the mid-20s, where the prevalence of depression is in the range of 10 percent to 14 percent. The growing competitive nature of schooling resulted in today’s youth experiencing temporal challenges in striking a balance in life.
In the context of Malaysia, the youth population constitutes 17 percent of the total population of 32.7 million (DOSM, 2021).
societal lens on mental health
Weiner (1988) highlighted that the perceptions of stereotypes such as dangerousness and blameworthiness have a deleterious impact on the youth.
13 01 BACKGROUND STUDIES
There are severe shortages of professionals such as clinical psychologists and social workers in mental health services. DEVA (2004) For students who perceive mental health negatively, directly approaching mental health would not be effective, as they feel shame about engaging in such interventions. (Kotera et al. 2018b, e, f) “ The police recorded 468 suicides in the first five months of 2021, compared to 631 in 2020, and 609 in 2019. The three main causes cited were family problems, emotional pressure and finances.”(TST, 21 July 2021)

Tracing the growth of healthcare, with the advancement of technologies and medications, the delivery of care has gradually shifted from personal care to mass treatment, with healthcare institutions becoming a homogenous model throughout time. As a result, the objective is to reexamine and attach importance to the aesthetics and function of the care model. evolution of healthcare

01 BACKGROUND STUDIES
The healthcare services are deemed to be less visible and are often underutilized by adolescent patients. Functionalist approach gave rise to the universally accepted design in healthcare architecture. The aesthetic deprivation in healthcare settings has poorly curated design layout and aesthetically barren environment. The institutionalise and discipline setting also framed up the youth movement, where the environment is dominated by observation and barriers. These curated a setting that has isolated the youth from daily social space, and the structured environment will diminish the youth individualism. Hence, this thesis aims to rethink how can we break the invisible social boundaries in healthcare setting and the possibilities of strengthening youth participation through tailor made community infrastructure.

The theoretical investigation will be studying on environmental psychology, focuses on how does the environment will affect their thoughts, attitudes and behaviours of Environmentalindividuals.psychology’s studies on how individuals perceive and respond to the environment are applicable to fields with extensive and long-lasting effect, such as architecture. Insights from the field can help illustrate how changes in how individuals utilise their settings and how habitats are built might enhance people’s lives on an individual and population-wide scale. Environmental psychology examines a wide range of physical settings inhabited by individuals, including both man-made and natural ones. These can include smallscale locations like a classroom or a home, as well as larger-scale areas like schools, hospitals, or neighbourhoods.

“domestic environment”
The Children’s Center is situated in Hokkaido, Japan, where the building is low-profile and surrounded by lush greenery. To evoke the elimination of regimented surroundings, a sense of casualness and domesticity were integrated. The importance of control and freedom of movement was emphasised in order to enable the children to interact with their surroundings, which might aid to broaden their tactile exploration.
What theory, research, and practise does architectural psychology have to offer?
The intention is to establish a domestic atmosphere in a garden setting. The building is kept in a low profile and reflecting the residential scale of surrounding streets.

The importance of relationships with the surrounding environment is reflected in the selection of three significant areas. The first space is the entryway, which is the initial point of interaction with the outside environment. The second selected space is the patients’ room where they spent most of their time. Last but not least is the corridor area as it is a direct linkage from the patient’s room to the social area. healthcare center rehabilitation complex

Using ‘healthy’ materials as the main structure of the building. Sustainablysouced spruce timber and porous materials to maintain the internal humidity of the naturally ventilated building. The SOCSO Rehabilitation Centre is set on 55 acres of the green site. The “journey to healing” is architecturally translated into clusters of buildings arranged in functional order. A spacious 3.5-meter wide pedestrian access was designed as the main spine to connect the building clusters. The expansion of the path allows a great diversity of physical activities such as running, and cycling, which enhance the patient’s active lifestyle. The transition to the inside is smoothed by the presence of glazed facades and louvre screens, which avoid a sharp transition in terms of light and ambience. The activity room in SOCSO Rehabilitation Centre are represented with different colours and textures of materials offering a more pleasant environment to mingle and socialise.

The photographs showed the site context of Laman Midah in a micro scale , where most of the ground spaces are inactive and underutilised. The ground level is dominated by parkings which restricted the viewing depth from the street level. Hence, it creates an invisible barrier that prevents pedestrian from passing through the site as pedestrian tend not to know what’s happening across the road when view from a distance.

This project seeks to restructure the continuity of care, deinstitutionalize, and remodel the bounds of care, and integrate it into the larger community by reintroducing neighbourhood memory into youth discourse. In attempt to investigate the relationship between architecture and memories, and identify how does collective memories, youth movement, and daily experience can be translated into spatial quality. The main building programme emphasises youth daily activities, rehabilitation, and mental restoration through health and learning facilities.
The objectives of this thesis are as follows:
This project contributes to creating awareness to help assist in the early identification of depression among youth in an urban setting through health and learning facilities. Ministry of Health Malaysia It is hoped that the framework could provide important insight for the Ministry of Health to strengthen the provision of adolescent-friendly healthcare environment. With a great deal of attention to the design and creation of a healing environment, the design framework developed in this study can be served as secondary support to facilitate the primary healthcare model. , the personal healing experience among youth can provide rich and detailed descriptions to the professionals in providing new or expanded care.
I. To deinstitutionalize the current healthcare model and integrate into the social fabric. II. To enhance the urban environmental comfort and explore how spatial experience and activities can build emotional resilience among youth.

The programmatic design intends to shape the fractured Taman Midah neighborhood’s socio-spatial structure. The planned programmes are designed to raise awareness and aid in the early detection of depression among urban youth. By developing positive attitudes and reactions, it is necessary to build awareness to the mental health needs of Asian adolescents.
Rather of institutionalising and isolating mentally ill adolescents from society, youth involvement in a public environment should be bolstered. With careful consideration of the design of pre-existing standardised neighbourhood social infrastructure, implementation may act as a supplemental support to the primary healthcare model.

Senses: In architecture, the sense of sight is very dominant. other senses such as smell and hearing should be incorpo rated into the space as the combined per ception of the senses that will give us a total experience of a space.
86 spatial qualities
04 DESIGN MANIFESTATION
Light and shadow: The rought texture of the materials can soften the light direc tion to avoid harsh shadows and this adds to the quality of light and the atmosphere of the suface. The diagram depicts a study of how the influence of shadow create var ious moods in the environment.
87 04 DESIGN MANIFESTATION spatial qualities
Expression of material: The impressions of hardness and softness, of heaviness and lightness, are connected with the surface charater of materials. E.g rough stone wall (heavy) vs smooth concrete (light) The transparency of materials also affects the quality of light in the space.
Smell: The use of the sense of smell makes the user unknowing ly re-enter a space that is com pletely forgotten by the retinal memory.
88 spatial qualities
Form: The building intended to creates form beyond the rigidity. The building’s undulating shape is to creates a place of movement and transition
04 DESIGN MANIFESTATION
Hearing: Sounds reflect in a space, and that way it gives us an impression of its form and material. The live reflections of echo and re-echo within the spherical form in the project increase the aware ness of the vastness, geometry and the materials. The space can be redefine by shifting the visual attention to how it is shaped by the resonant sounds, vibrations of materials and textures.
