- Description
- Tuberculosis, and more specifically drug resistant tuberculosis, is a growing epidemic in South Africa. Yet many of the existing specialised tuberculosis facilities have been designed in a way that do not incorporate biophillic elements necessary to create a healing environment with spaces conducive to the wellness of its users. This treatise responds to these issues through the design of a hospital that utilises biophillic principles with highly inclusive spaces providing a dignified sense of place for drug-resistant tuberculosis patients where the architecture offers more than a functional space. It induces healing.
