Brief
Background：
Basing on the early research from a macro scale of an interior connecting within 40GS, the whole building is proposed a community hub for students focusing on the wellbeing including mental health and physical health. This project will discuss further in mental health.
Mental health issue is attached great importance by university, so students' mental health problems will be the main object of the project. Based on the previous survey of students' mental health, psychological problems mainly include autism, anxiety, insomnia and etc. Some are caused by the environment and the existing stage, such as culture conflicts, relationship difficulties, loneliness, stress from study and family, depression and anxiety.
Medicine treatment is one of the solutions. The University's Health and Wellbeing Center has provided students with medical treatment and professional consultation services. Actually, these are very common in the student population and do not require medication. Also, drugs may make people dependent So the creative proposal of mental health center will be put forward.....
Martin Seligman raises PERMA theory and practice it as a therapy for psychology and for wellbeing. In my design, I also would like to create a space with full of happiness and energy, which fitting the essence of the PERMA theory, so I named the project as "PERMA Center".
A proposed site: The L4-L5 in 40 George Square
User: All students in the University of Edinburgh.
