Healing architecture is the design of buildings and landscapes intended to support recovery from illness, injury, grief and trauma. It draws on research in environmental psychology, evidence-based health design and the cultural meanings that people attach to shelter, light, water and routine.

Members here explore projects ranging from palliative care villages and paediatric health centres to rehabilitation facilities and memorial spaces in post-war cities. The work tends to ask how spatial sequence, daylight, material choice and shared rooms can ease the experience of care and loss.
