The competition explores the ability of Architecture to create a healing environment that can affect the physical and psychological behavior of the user. It operates between the zone of imagination and reality to reveal new and exciting architectural possibilities. The basic premise is to imagine a space that can create a therapeutic effect on society to an extent that it can evoke a sense of peacefulness to induce positive and emotional feelings. Our mental health has suffered greatly over the past 80 years. It is so exhausting to live in a society where asking for help equals failure.

What does Hope mean to you? A Fresh Start, A Second Chance, or to Wish upon a Miracle. Hope is a powerful word that inspires millions of people to stay alive long enough before they figure out how to thrive. Hope is a reassurance that possibilities are endless as long as you believe. Hope is one thing that can help us get through the darkest of times. It forever tells us that tomorrow will be better.

“One you Choose Hope, anything is Possible”. Families and individuals are being termed as dysfunctional as though we are machines, where our identity has become a reflection of our success.



The competition explores the ability of architecture to create a healing environment that can affect the physical and psychological behaviour of the user.
