Master of Architecture [Professional] at the University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, South Africa, in the year 2013. / In the Centre for Animal Assisted
Therapy, animals act as a therapeutic
intervention to improve the well-being
of therapy patients. The main medical
success of this mode of therapy
lies within the tactile experience
of touch. This thesis is about
discovering an architecture that acts
as a platform for interaction between
humans and domesticated animals.
The human-animal relationship and
the architectural spaces it would
require to enhance the gathering,
are investigated. It explores an
architectural language that is
inclusive, involved and focused on a
worthy spatial perception based on
enhanced tactile experiences.
