title: Journey of Moments: A Regenerative Sequence through Architecture and Landscape as Cancer Therapy

creator: Brandon McCarthy

subject: Cancer in children; Cancer treatment; Landscape architecure, Designs and plans; Thresholds (Architecture); Architecture, Health aspects

description: During the journey of cancer treatment, the human body should experiencelandscape through a sequence of architectural moments. Spaces for cancerand treatment therapy have been designed to prioritize functionality over patientexperience where there is often no real exposure to the surrounding beauty of thelandscape and its ability to support a regenerative healing process. By integratingthe process of cancer treatment with landscape and architecture in a sequence,the journey through the design will have moments of healing defined by thresholdsthat interface between the interior and exterior. Spaces of waiting are transformedinto an active journey
