“…Apart from these remaining institutional spaces, the main architectural typology that defines community care is small scale, residential facilities, run largely by non-government organisations (Coleborne, 2020;New Zealand Mental Health Commission, 2007). The rationale behind this is largely in response to the problem of stigma outlined in the Mason Report, and follows the normalisation theory, which suggests that architectural environments for mental health treatment should avoid invoking the hospital, and resemble a home-like setting (Chrysikou, 2014, p.2).…”

<p>In 2018, the government published the report of its inquiry into mental health and addiction in Aotearoa New Zealand, which called for a ‘paradigm shift’ in the country’s approach to mental wellbeing. This research portfolio explores the role architecture has to play in this shift, acknowledging the problematic historical associations of architecture and mental health. In doing so, the work aims to establish principles for a new architectural typology of mental health care, outside of conventional institutions. It explores contemporary approaches to wellness, and integrates research from several bodies of theoretical and evidence-based research into a new creative practice within architecture. Specifically, the research draws on theory around nonrepresentational therapeutic landscapes, third place and evidence based design. These inform creative explorations of the therapeutically affective qualities of naturally-sourced materials. The findings of this explorations are transferred to spatial design using a ‘multiplicity’ approach based on nonrepresentational theory and Māori health models, which is then applied to a specific site in Wellington, New Zealand. Finally, architectural applications for this research are proposed in the form of a community-based third place to support mental health and wellbeing.</p>
