Canada's construction news
The relationship between architecture and “mind health” has been underestimated, according to a Toronto-based architect, Tye Farrow, who strives to design buildings that take the idea seriously.
That means designing buildings “as non-invasive, therapeutic treatments that have a significant impact on how we learn, our social interaction, our memory…Effectively, creating spaces that feed us.” At the 75,000-square-foot Helmsley Cancer Center in Jerusalem, Farrow was part of the design team that created a building that has been described as looking like a butterfly, with a series of arching columns on the exterior forming the overall building shape.
The design team created a long two-floor-high canopy along the public sidewalk supported on striking architectural columns that provide visual drama and a cover from the rain for seating, landscaping and piped music. Material selection plays a major role in salutogenic design, he said. Studies show interior wood treatments, for example, can have a calming effect on occupants.
