This project focuses on healthcare and the healing environment. In teams of 2, we have created an Integrative Medicine Center consisting of seven areas, each with its own requirements. The building is meant to function in a holistic manner and circulation between the areas is supported by our concept.
The design of this building is focused on landmarks that can be found throughout Oregon. From the Rocky
Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, there is a variety of nature and landscapes. These various landmarks are reflected throughout the Oregon Landmark Integrative Medicine Center. By using hues of reds, greens, blues, and purples, the center creates a calming and relaxing atmosphere that also encourages activity and energy. The four main landmarks that can be seen throughout the space include the Columbia River Gorge, Heceta Head Lighthouse, the Rocky Mountains, and the International Rose Test Garden. These landmarks encourage strength and revitalization through a soothing environment, which is similar to how the Oregon Landmark Integrative Medicine Center operates. Nature and the outdoors promote a sense of freedom, while also allowing a person to feel in control of their mind and body. This space focuses on bringing these elements indoors to allow visitors to be refreshed by similar emotions and feelings.
