Heaven and Earth: Integrating Islamic Patterns in Designing Healing Spaces

Master of Architecture / This thesis explores the transformative potential of designing spaces that prioritize healing, connection, and mindfulness, especially for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It uses intentional design choices like natural light, wood, water, and granite to create a relaxing and grounding environment. Geometric Islamic patterns are incorporated to enhance visual appeal and provide a sense of order. By prioritizing healing, connection, and mindfulness, we can create spaces that alleviate PTSD symptoms and empower individuals on their journey towards healing and well-being.
