Therapeutic Perceptual Architecture Design (TPAD)

Developing Therapeutic Architectural Design approach that provides guidelines/criteria based on the perceptual mechanism of the human brain to create stress reducing spatial environment.

Better mental health and Stress reduction.

Stress affects a extremely high rate of the world's populations, especially among adults. It has directly damaging effect on the brain and body health. No body is excluded from experiencing stress. During experiencing stress people study, work, and live and this all done in architectural environment that is often designed based on architect`s intuition for positive experiences. 

Experiencing architecture is in inescapable whether the person is depressed, stressed or not. Architecture have the ability to provide experiences that can have a deep affect person's emotion and even soul. it can present painful experienceS or a positive experiences that foster happiness and productivity.  As architecture communicates to the brain's perception through sensory stimulus, the localization of the sensory perception and the advancement of neuronal monitoring, its affect can be linked and monitor targeting those painful experiences stimulus of stress and identifying its reducers, resulting in a therapeutic architectural guideline to  be induced in architectural design.  

Better psychological and physical health for the public through creating a positive perceptual architectural environment that is stress reducing and by extension increase productivity and decrease loss in time and money  for better economic out come.

1- Guideline for ranges and methods to be used to create a stress Low/Free architectural environment.

2- Prototype of sensory qualities and ranges  therapeutic stress reducing  work/creative architectural environmental design.

Every 3 months update on our progress. - initial statistic of spatial sensory stimulus, sensory perception actives stress response activities

Every 3 months update on our progress. from 9 to 18 month initiating publishing research findings . - four growth impartial experiments of workshops environments in universities and companies two in Egyot and two in the USA

It uses interdisciplinary  approach between neuroscience and architecture that will attempt to solve/decrease the loss in Time, money and lives, triggered by stress through un-calculated environmental stimulus. through Monitoring the mechanism of the human brain perception in architectural environments and linking the reading to spatial sensory measured qualities, which are approach till this point have never been attempted. Its future application is limitless and  will reflect directly on health and economical status of the public and countries. For instance a faster recovery rates, better productivity at work ,etc.

It turns architecture to specificity design for the better comfort and health of its users. It will allow for inclusiveness for varied types of users moving architecture from visual bias techniques. It will attempt to removing painful moments and provide a therapeutic time for the public.

Through research, publication, seminars. Most importantly the using and experiencing spaces with are therapeutic design  guideline was implemented upon the resulted guidelines.   

For fund we are searching for funding to proceed with our research we are hoping to collaborate and put up  a team in Egypt and parallel one in USA. The scale is aimed to first at examining work/ workshop spaces  to make comparative data between USA and Egypt work environment for its varied nature.  

The pilot study will impractical examine workshops  in Egypt. the study will grow examine workshops at Multinational technology companies  in Egypt and the USA.

As the ratio of stress among adult is high,the scale of the solution will focus measure workshops environments in universities and companies and make comparative analysis of he variation of both.

Lack Funding, equipment and the lack of connection to collaborate USA's research foundations and companies. we Also need the Support of providing  ETG 4100 FNIRS HITACHI equipment.

To contribute in solving global problem which affects wide range of human factors and  befit from the huge potential of multidisciplinary scientific approach.
