Abstract
My architectural work focuses on creating spaces that foster gathering, learning, health, and meaningful interaction. Thoughtful design can shape positive experiences, especially when it considers people of all ages and cognitive abilities.
The **Stim-Art Facility**, an arts education center for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, uses neuroarchitecture principles to create a calming, engaging environment. Natural materials, warm earth tones, and sensory-friendly textures support comfort, creativity, and cognitive health.
The **Pharis Learning Complex** expands on these ideas in a rural setting, promoting community engagement across multiple age groups. With adaptable learning spaces and accessible indoor-outdoor environments, the complex encourages lifelong learning and meaningful connection.
