TITLE: Rejuvenation Center: An Exploration of Organic Architecture and Feng- Shui Concepts
Providing a Threshold from Industrial to Natural Realm, A Wellness Hub in Quezon City.

REASONS/ JUSTIFICATIONS IN CHOOSING THE TOPIC:

Individuals wellness nowadays is being disrupted by numerous factors that are becoming
inseparable from the daily routine; life-work balance in the modern workplaces is getting more
challenging with the increase of workloads, raising the stress levels of workers and therefor causing a
negative impact on health and productivity. Moreover, the consumer culture that exists today has
made it difficult for people to maintain a healthy lifestyle; technology, for instance, has influenced a
shift from physical to mental work and promoted the desk- bound of stationary behavior.

To visualize major growth of both businesses and population within the site we need to
heighten the level of wellness in all people engaged with a busy and stressful life style within the
business area, raising awareness towards the holistic wellness concept which engages not only the
body, but also the mind and spirit taking workers away from the industrial atmosphere, and instead,
engages them with a sensory experience that targets positive emotions, as well as rejuvenates the
minds.

Development of therapy in architecture and the architectural elements that can

facilitate and enhance the therapeutic value of the built environment.

Formulation of strategy to create relationship between the built environment and

nature by learning from The Organic Architecture, and Feng-Shui concepts

Focus on the sensory and therapeutic experience provided by the elements and to
look at the concept of zoning, in order to engage each activity with a distinct
atmosphere.

EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GROWTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN

ARCHITECTURE:

Wellness means a healthy balance of mind, body and spirit, responsible for the mankinds
holistic well-being. Architecture, nature, and the built environment have a great potential to enhance
the level of wellness in people. Infusing wellness applies investigations on how architecture, built
environment, and nature can be approached in order to provide therapy.
