Item Enhancing Recovery: Architecture that Heals(2018) Machado, Christiane Jones; Tilghman, James W; Architecture; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)This thesis will explore how architecture and the natural environment can aid in the recovery of one’s health by dissecting the current relationships between landscape and building, and its impact on healing. Traditional relationships of healing are explored to understand how those elements may be incorporated into modern healing. The project will focus on a design of a rehabilitation and wellness center in Bethesda, Maryland. Due to an existing ‘medical hub’ in the vicinity, the proposed building will assimilate well into the existing program on the site. The design is being approached by understanding what factors can contribute to healing including how views out the window, being immersed in nature, and materiality affect health. Biophilic design, healing gardens, and the senses in architecture are analyzed as means to effectively design healing spaces. Further primary observations of local hospitals and interviews with medical staff were conducted in order to grasp what the needs of the users in these spaces are.Item Owen Brown Village Center(Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS), 2016) Cunningham, Peter; Kilian, Joshua K.; Knudsen, Aren Kurt; Machado, Christiane Jones; McKenley, Joseph Stephen; Moore, Anil; Boun, Sandra Oh; Southard, Renata; Vogtman, John Calvin; Winter, Abby Joy; Thornton, Arica L.; VanderGoot, JanaStudents in the Master of Architecture program worked with representatives from the Howard County Department of Planning, the Columbia Association, and the Owen Brown Village board to come up with redevelopment schemes for Owen Brown Village Center. The semester began with the production of a series of base maps, which analyzed demographics, issues hydrology and the historical vision of James Rouse for the city of Columbia. Students also researched a series of built case study projects from around the world that provided inspiration and metrics for their design proposals at Owen Brown. Finally, each design team worked closely with a student from the Real Estate Development Capstone course to come up with program, square footages, and adjacencies for their design schemes.
