Y3 Project_2019-2020

The project will be initiated after we overcome the pandemic. Networked clinics will deliver preventative care in the London congestion zone. Offering ancillary support to NHS primary care services, this will also challenge the pervasive systemic malfunction within the mental healthcare structure. It proposes new propensities in its care system that we may have been missed over the past few decades.

Wellness Exhibition

While adjusting to our new spatial confines, the current pandemic makes us reflect upon the relationship between the built environment and healthcare provisions. The project will be initiated after we overcome the pandemic. Networked clinics will deliver preventative care in the London congestion zone. Offering ancillary support to NHS primary care services, this will also challenge the pervasive systemic malfunction within the mental healthcare structure. It proposes new propensities in its care system that we may have been missed over the past few decades.

Through its transparency and the exposition of unwellness to the public, the project aims to destigmatize mental illness and incorporate it into routine care. Synchronised with real time data from the human brain to an interface, the incubators construct the user’s own architectural experience. The experience engages the community into the persistent care system, bringing awareness through its malleable environment. The design provides platforms to make bespoke therapy programs.

In responding to different scenarios, the mobile wellness pods will be distributed within the congestion zone to challenge deficits of the healthcare service. The incubators travel from Regent’s canal to the River Thames. Waterways will be transformed into wellness infrastructures, thereby, making a new healthcare ring in London. In this network, there are no boundaries between scientists, doctors and patients. Opposing socially constructed hierarchies, it proposes a new wellness community to move forward from the status quo. By then, London becomes a care-oriented place.
