Healing is not just a physical process but includes emotional, spiritual, social, and architectural dimensions, influenced by diverse cultural understandings. While Western medicine often focuses on biological aspects, many non-Western cultures view healing holistically, integrating spirit and community. Architecture reflects these views; for instance, Indigenous designs emphasize nature and ritual, whereas Japanese spaces embody minimalism and harmony. This illustrates that healing environments should not only serve as physical forms but also resonate with deeper cultural meanings and emotional needs, suggesting a need to rethink how spaces are intended to facilitate care and wellness.
Healing encompasses emotional, spiritual, social, and architectural dimensions, reflecting each culture's values and encouraging us to reconsider how we design environments for well-being.
Architecture expresses cultural understandings of health, as seen in Indigenous traditions that focus on communion with nature and in Japanâs minimalist aesthetics for inner harmony.
