Methodological approaches to designing biophilic rehabilitation buildings

Abstract

The article aims to analyse current architectural and engineering research and developments in the treatment of post-traumatic disorders. The study thoroughly explores the aspects which are the basis of the development of rehabilitation buildings. It deals with a comprehensive series of theoretical and experimental studies aimed at devising and validating innovative, inclusive, trauma-informed architectural and landscape solutions, as well as eco-oriented, resource-efficient structural solutions. The article delineates the fundamental principles of spatial organization grounded in the concept of biophilic design. The study developed a conceptual design solution for a rehabilitation building with elements of biophilic design, as well as designed modular elements such as wall panels, floor panels, and roofing panels, which proved to be effective. To substantiate the proposed functional-planning and architectural-engineering solutions, a spatial model of the building has been constructed, and static calculations have been performed.
