Utilising research in environmental psychology in order to achieve stress reduction in the design of a healthcare center. The design clusters the architectural programs based on the reason people visit certain functions within the building, and privacy aspects. This clustering of functions also allowes the design to be tweaked to achieve stress reduction unique for every program.
Changing the architectural characteristics for every function leads to a patchwork like architecture.

Urban healthcare centres face considerable pressure due to the negative health impacts associated with cities and increasing urban density. These challenges add strain to healthcare providers already dealing with imbalances in care provision. Research indicates that environmental factors play an important role in physical recovery and stress reduction, yet many outpatient care facilities lack these beneficial features, presenting an opportunity for enhancement. By integrating healing architectural characteristics, patients can be encouraged to communicate openly about their health concerns, experiencing reduced mental and physical stress during examinations or treatments. Implementing such features not only reduces reliance on pain medication but also reduces aggression toward healthcare providers and diminishes the need for recurrent visits. This paper hypothesizes that patients' stress levels have escalated since the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to concerns about airborne diseases in healthcare settings. Architectural features can mitigate the risk of contracting such diseases, potentially enhancing the perceived safety within these environments. Through a review of existing literature, this paper identifies current and future hurdles in healthcare centres, including airborne diseases, and proposes evidence-based design solutions aimed at enhancing patients' visiting experiences.

Ornaments have been a cornerstone of architecture since its beginning, many types of ornaments have been created as means of expression for designers and developers, transferring ideas of religion, politics, and society. But in the historic timeline of architecture, the inclusion of architectural ornaments has stagnated, and with a rapid expansion of urban sprawl ornaments have become a rare sight. With the use of psychological research, this urban environment has been adapting in many ways to increase psychological wellbeing of its inhabitants by, for example, increasing the availability of nature. Cities are adapting, but architecture which could increase wellbeing by intensifying ornamentation, struggles to break from the stagnation. However, by creating designs based on psychological research, architectural concepts that positively influence the wellbeing of city inhabitants are emerging. This paper elaborates the process of the revitalisation of ornaments in contemporary architecture and its benefits to mental health.
