We all want to have an ideal future full of successes and amazing moments but it wouldn’t be happening always as future cannot be anticipated easily with assumptions. People are being over sensitive, over empathetic and gets emot ional so easily. In order to stop themselves for a while and taking a break from the rout -ine and spend some quality time for their own wellness through rejuvenating oneself holistically by various therapies, meditation, yoga and some other healing process. AIM: To design a rejuvenation centre with a intend to provide all the amenities required for a holistic and salubrious living of a community. The centre purely concentrates on various aspects to reinforce physical and mental well being of the user. WHY REJUVENATION? Most Indian families opt for vacations that revolve around sight-seeing. However, the trend is evolving with new facets of wellness, spa and rejuvenation as its top add-on choices. Rejuvenation Holidays that can aid people to enjoy quality time together, add some health benefits with spa treatments can be truly holistic. How do you like the idea of relaxing together with pampering traditional massages, a light organic meal and then a tour around to soak up the scenery all around? Most importantly, exploring and exper -iencing all the amenities with greater architecture style. Buildings have the power to interact with the senses (of sight, smell, sound and touch) and trigger them towards well-being and rejuvenation. For instance, using building elements and material finishes keeping in mind the effect they might have on the human brain would be a step toward such architecture style. OBJECTIVE: # To explore how architecture can contribute spaces where healing can take place + The understand the focus of the exercise is to establish an architectural experience that is a part of a force that can maintain and promote health through sense of journey, inclusiveness, harmony and balance * To study and understand about the functioning and benefits of therapies, meditation, yoga, and other various activities performed + To understand the design that looks at the concept of zoning, in order to engage activity with a distinct atmosphere * To study how built form can interact with its users, generating a positive energy * To study the built-open relationship, thereafter picking ideas and concepts that could contribute to this designSCOPE « To study and list out the contributions of existing architects and their practices into this field. This would help us to figure out what are the various elements and features already used by these architects in their practice of creating such environs * Aholistic centre infusing wellness to the society * An iconic building which isolates from noises and unnecessary pollution factors + This study shall also include the study of books and text by architects aiming at this field in architecture, which would widen our knowledge further with respect to the study of rejuvenating effects of architecture + The primary analysis of elements of architecture which can be therapeutic in nature, to generate the environs of rejuvenation. This study shall be taking place in a manner where we are going to discuss the relation of the following with rejuvenation effects 1. Light 2. Material 3. Colour 4.

Most important sense for a human body is visual perception So, while they lack of sense of seeing other sense like hearing, feel, touch and smell needs to fill its place. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of visual impairment is either preventable or curable with treatment. As of 2015 there were 940 million people with some degree of vision loss. 246 million had low vision and 39 million were blind. AIM: The aim of this design is to study and explore the accessibility of blind people to public and private spaces and how designers can address all the senses through the use of architectural design in order to enable a visually impaired person to accurately comprehend their environment and gain comfort from it OBJECTIVE: * Understanding the users i.e, visually impaired + To create a sense through architectural design in order to enable a visually impaired person to experience the environment * To understand the different texture material for the interior * To understand the perception of architecture for blind and how other senses contributes to it To study how a built environment can be made more flexible and hospitable to the blind WHAT CAUSES BLINDNESS? * Vision problems can develop before a baby is born. Sometimes, parts of the eyes don't form the way they should. * Akid's eyes might look fine, but the brain has trouble processing the information they send. * The optic nerve sends pictures to the brain, so if the nerve doesn't form correctly, the baby's brain won't receive the messages needed for sight. * Blindness can be genetic (or inherited), which means that this problem gets passed down to a kid from parents through genes.SCOPE: «India has the largest blind population over the world. #In India over 15 million (15,000,000) lakhs peoples are disabled people in India. + Perception of architecture for blind other sense contributes to enhancement of users. * This project has its root connected to the other senses (touch, smell, hear, feel) of the visually impaired person NEEDS: x There are only few Institutions are available in Jamil Nadu, and it has the more number of disabled female ratio than any other state \V/ ices = Movement *People with impairment have to face many * Mental problems in a conventional school so it is very X 7 = Speech essential to build a school which suits the Hearing requirement and help them to learn and grow in their own space REQUIREMENTS: DESIGN CONSIDERATION: * Administration office «Classrooms * Tactile Marking *Staff Room «Gathering space *Hostel *Librai *Mecting and Conference room Spatial Organization Restroom lighting Design *Student lounge Safety and security *Play ground Circulation Fluidity *Auditorium Material Study *Lab *Cafeteria/kitchen LIVE CASE STUDY(PREFERENCES): 1.
