THESIS TOPICS

1) Therapeutic Community for Psychiatric Patients:

To create a space that co-exists with nature and helps better the mental and physical health of such
patients. The aim is to show these patients love and support in the form of a community and to
rehabilitate them into society by teaching them basic functions and activities that help them gain the
confidence and independence to live their own lives, eventually.
The facility will be designed in such a manner so as to aid the patients into believing that they can
indeed take care of themselves, but that they can also turn to someone beside them for help when
needed.
This will be a residential treatment centre with accommodation provided for the patients as well as
the staff.
It will be located in a remote area, which is easily accessible by road yet far away from the buzz and
disturbance of the city life.

2) Wellness Retreat:

This is a centre created to help relax and rejuvenate those in need of such a retreat. It will employ
various techniques such as Ayurveda and Yoga.
The aim is to bring the individual away from the crowded noisy city life, into a more serene natural
environment where they can truly enjoy a peaceful state of mind.
The building shall be designed in such a manner that it incorporates nature so as to give the users a
calm refreshing atmosphere, something to cleanse their mind and souls.
Accommodation will be provided for the customers as well as the staff as the duration of such a
retreat would typically be a week or more, depending on the customers liking.
It will be located in a remote area, which is easily accessible by road yet far away from the buzz and
disturbance of the city life.

3) Eco-friendly co-housing for senior citizens:

To create an interactive community for senior citizens, where they can continue to live out their
retirement in comfort and take part in activities that they enjoy, leisurely.
Often, when people reach a certain age of physical and mental deterioration, they are no longer
taken proper care of in their home. They often feel lonely and detached from their family due to
their different state of mind and health. So, such a community would help them feel like they are
still a part of something, where they meet people suffering through similar circumstances.
A co-housing complex is the perfect solution, with adequate accommodation provided for all the
residents as well as several open spaces for them to come together as a community and support
each other.
This entire complex will be sustainable and eco-friendly, by using quirky techniques everywhere
possible to ensure that we do our bit to help save the environment.
This complex will be located on the outskirts of the city, so as to give the residents their own
community space, where they can create their own peaceful bubble without the disturbance of the
outside world, but is also easily accessible by the city roads to allow visitors and others into the
space.
