- Abstract
Architecture can contribute to health and healing through viewing the site, street,
neighborhood and city as an analogy to the body. To design for the body is to design for
the city and vice versa. This thesis examines how architecture and the built environment
can affect people’s health. It analyzes how people interpret environmental stimuli
through the senses. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, is studied
and developed as an approach to address architectural and urban issues. Three cases
studies, Paimio Sanatorium, Maggie's Centre and Stephen Avenue, are examined as
precedent for the thesis project. The thesis project is a series of architectural projects
along Ottawa’s Chinatown. The projects are designed to assist in revitalizing the area
and to improve the lives of the inhabitants and the neighborhood.
