Abstract
Healing-tecture explores the concept of architecture as a therapeutic tool that promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By integrating principles from Environmental Psychology, designers create spaces that reduce stress, enhance comfort, and support healing processes. Elements such as natural light, ventilation, greenery, calming materials, and patient-centered layouts are incorporated to improve user experience in hospitals, homes, and public spaces. This approach redefines architecture not just as a functional discipline but as an active contributor to health and recovery.
