PROGRAMMING
PROJECT INSPIRATION + INTRODUCTION Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide, but survival rates are increasing due to increased knowledge and vast treatment resources. Growing up, cancer had quite the impact on my family. I watched a number of relatives battle cancer, and unfortunately all of them passed away. Some of them fighting the cancer battle not once, but twice. Some of them even suffered through multiple types of cancer. While cancer is especially difficult for the person who has been diagnosed, it also takes a toll on the family members and friends involved. Depending on the severity, treatment can last months or years, and it can consist of long days spent in the treatment center. I was inspired to create a comforting, peaceful, and uplifting cancer treatment and living center after seeing the sterile and cold environments that my relatives spent so much of their time in. In addition, these relatives had to travel in order to receive treatment from the best recommended facilities. This meant that they needed somewhere to stay for a number of days, and lodging was often miles away and required travel to and from the cancer treatment center. For this reason, there was a need for a center that provided comprehensive cancer treatment, as well as temporary lodging for the patients and their families.
Waves of Hope is a unique 88,475 square foot center that combines comprehensive outpatient cancer treatment and temporary lodging for patients and their families. Many cancer patients must travel in order to receive treatment, and multiple rounds of treatment can last many consecutive weeks, or even months. A comprehensive facility that has both treatment and living facilities will allow the sensitive needs of cancer patients to be met. The treatment center will provide services ranging from diagnostic testing to counseling and screening during survivorship. The living center contains both guest rooms and apartment-style suites for patients and their families. This cancer treatment center is ideal for those that require supervision, but not the full services of a hospital setting. 6
PROBLEM STATEMENT In order to meet the need for a facility that combines cancer treatment with living services, this center is designed to serve the sensitive needs of adult cancer patients and their families by providing patient-centered care. The center will address the clinical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients by offering a range of cancer services in one facility including diagnostic services, radiation oncology, infusion therapy, counseling, and healing gardens.
7
GOALS - Guide patients through their cancer journey from diagnosis through recovery - Provide a nature-oriented experience - Harness natural light and take advantage of the sunny location - Create a soothing interior that emphasizes relaxation - Offer psychological support for patients and family members - Promote an inviting and welcoming nature that makes the center feel anything but institutional - Utilize Universal Design concepts in order to create an accessible space for everyone of all abilities - Provide a facility that is open to growth and expansion, including proton therapy
TRENDS - Simple wayfinding - Versatile waiting areas that support family members - Exposure to natural elements through healing gardens, plant walls, views outside - Clerestory windows in interior exam and consultation rooms - Infusion areas with floor-to-ceiling windows - Array of colors, textures, depths that strive to be warm and welcoming - Spaces where patients can go to be contemplative and quiet - Encouragement walls where patients can write messages - Softer and “more humane� treatment spaces 8
CANCER RESEARCH Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, and it can start any place in the body. If the spread is not controlled, it can ultimately result in death. The cause for many cancers remains unknown, but some cancer causes can include: lifestyle, tobacco use, excess body weight, inherited genetic mutation, hormones, and immune conditions. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, and it is the second leading cause of death in the United States. About 1.8 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States.
ESTIMATED NUMBER OF NEW CASES FOR 2020

CANCER FACTS & STATISTICS GENERAL CANCER FACTS & STATISTICS: - As of January 1, 2019, about 16.9 million individuals with a history of cancer were living in the United States - Roughly 1.8 million people in the United States diagnosed with cancer in 2019 - An estimated 606,880 people in the United States died of cancer in 2019 - Cancer is the leading cause of death for those under 65 years of age, and the leading cause of death worldwide - Approximately 38.4% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes - Stages of cancer range from 0, I, II, III, IV (IV being the most advanced stage) - Survival rates are increasing due to increased knowledge and treatment resources CALIFORNIA CANCER STATISTICS: Cancer Statistics for California: - Nearly 1,492,000 Californians that are alive today have a history of cancer, whether they are currently undergoing treatment or have been treated in the past - In 2017, roughly 176,140 Californians were diagnosed with cancer, which is equivalent to 20 new cases every hour of every day - Cancer accounts for nearly 1 in every 4 deaths in California - Nearly 1 out of every 2 Californians born today will develop cancer at some point in their lives - It is likely that 1 in 5 will die of the disease *Statistics from the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society 10
CANCER TREATMENT
Cancer treatment facilities often have an operating model of providing diagnosis, treatment planning, support, and survivorship services, these allow the patients to have all of their needs met through the existence of one single facility. CANCER TREATMENT OPTIONS: - Chemotherapy - Proton Therapy - Radiation Therapy - Targeted Therapy - Immunotherapy - Surgery - Stem Cell or Bone Marrow Transplant Services addressing almost every aspect of cancer care will be available at this center, including chemotherapy and medical oncology, radiation therapy, radiology and imaging services, surgical consultations and presurgery testing, neurology, screening services (including mammography), personalized medicine, genetic testing, support counseling, and follow-up care. An on-site laboratory provides quick blood and specimen testing. An on-site pharmacy allows patients to fill prescriptions before heading home.
11
CHEMOTHERAPY Chemotherapy treats cancer with drugs given orally or intravenously into the bloodstream to kill cancer cells, reduce tumor size, and relieve cancer symptoms. Treatment plans including chemotherapy often require multiple doses over several weeks or months. Doses, frequency, and combinations of drugs are personalized to each patient’s needs. Centers often provide services and resources that also help patients with the side effects they may experience. During chemotherapy, patients are at risk for life-threatening reactions to their treatments. Patients are immunosuppressed, which means that infection control is a great concern. It is essential that patients and families feel comfortable during this process, emotionally and physically. Chemotherapy treatment sessions can last from minutes up to 8 hours. Patients that are well enough are encouraged to move around, walk, exercise, and socialize. Patients sit in recliners, tethered to an infusion pump. During their treatment, the patients must be carefully monitored by clinicians. Medicine must be administered with great precision, and visual monitoring is imperative to check for side effects. While the patients need to be monitored, they also desire privacy because the process is intensely personal. Allowing family members to be present promotes privacy, intimate communication, and monitoring for changes in patient’s condition. 12
RADIATION THERAPY Radiation treatment directs invisible high energy, such as X-rays and electron beams, at cancer cells to kill them or limit their ability to grow. This treatment may be used alone or with other treatment methods. Main Types of Radiation Therapy: - External-Beam Radiation - Internal Radiation - Systemic Radiation External-Beam Radiation Therapy treats cancer from outside of the body through the use of precise equipment. This treatment often requires several treatments per week, but the duration of the treatment is dependent upon the stage and type of cancer. Internal Radiation Therapy delivers radiation by placing radioactive substances into or near a tumor. These therapy sessions are fairly quick, but require sessions for several days or weeks. Systemic Radiation Therapy uses radioactive substances that travel through the body, either by pill or injection into a vein, to attack the cancer cells. 13
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - A comforting environment must also pay close attention to infection prevention - High light levels in work areas and lower light levels in lounges and other relaxing rooms - Patients can be sensitive to light, non-direct light sources with adjustable levels are recommended in patient areas - Avoid long corridors, which can present challenges for fatigued patients - Curved walls can make corridors appear shorter - Successful wayfinding systems that integrate multiple methods of communication serve as a distraction to help reduce anxiety and stress - Digital art should be integrated into the ceiling design of imaging rooms - The soil of live plants can present a hazard to immune systems of patients, so it is recommended to consult with an infection prevention professional - Floor-to-ceiling windows, glass curtain walls, and skylights reduce the need for artificial lighting and help improve patient and staff moods - Daylight exposure can serve as a natural disinfectant, specifically helping to kill bacteria commonly found in dust
FINISH + FURNITURE
- Floor patterns, ceiling design, and intriguing finishes can be psychologically positive - Neutral colors with accents, warmer color schemes provide a sense of comfort - Utilize wood-grain patterns in order to enhance natural environment - Carpet can be used in the sitting area, but hard flooring should be used in passages/corridors - Use antimicrobial coatings on finishes of hard surfaces and lighting (indigo LED) that fights the spread of disease - Furniture cannot be too soft because it makes getting up difficult, and it cannot be too hard because patients lose weight so sitting on hard cushions can be painful 14

SCHEMATIC DESIGN
CONCEPT This Cancer Treatment + Living Center studies both hospitality and residential environments to develop a therapeutic and restorative environment. A light and airy aesthetic will create an elevating experience, promote healing, and serve as a beacon of hope for the patients and families. The form and palette will be carefully developed from the healing elements of nature found within the surrounding landscape. The well-detailed design will signify a sense of precision, a key component in cancer treatment. Cancer treatment is not a linear, streamline process. It is rather an organic process due to the variety of diagnosis, treatment options, and processes. Every individual has a different journey. These nearby rock formations are organically shaped, and they are all uniquely weathered by the wind, salt, and water.

The triple-height atrium functions as the main entry into center, as well as a welcoming and inviting area for socializing or waiting. The space not only functions as an atrium, but also as an indoor healing garden. Due to the sensitive immune systems of the patients, the soil of the plants is covered or substituted with rocks, and the plant selections should be approved by an infection prevention specialist. Surrounding the garden is a custom stair with built-in bench seating. A variety of seating provides visitors with options, and the juice bar allows visitors to grab a drink or a healthy bite to eat.
