Healing Architecture
Research on patients and hospital design emphasize that importance of “creating places of healing rather than machines for treating,” (Lawson, 2010, p. 96). Evelina Children’s Hospital created by Hopkins Architects epitomizes this design and healing relationship. Located near the River Thames in London, Evelina is part of Guys and Thomas Hospital. Due to the hospital’s location in this dense, central part of London, the hospital’s architects incorporated art and architecture to create a smooth functioning and practical hospital design.

Evidence-Based Design
We have all experienced environments that induce feelings of relaxation, while others that induce agitation and discomfort. Since our environment supports our physical and practical needs (functionalism) and aesthetically impact our psychological states, designers and clients are utilizing credible research in the development of architectural design. Evidence-based design (EBD) “is the process of basing decisions about the built environment on credible research to achieve the best possible outcomes,” (Hamilton and Shepley, 2010, p. 8-9).

Peak Experiences and the Art of Traveling
"The peak experience is a state of consciousness consisting of intense awareness, unusual insight, and extreme positive effect (supreme peacefulness or ecstasy). During the a peak experience individuals often feel that they have lost a sense of time and space and that they are transcending the bonds of the mundane reality. " (Singer,2000)
Traveling has the ability to create peak experiences in us all. these peak experiences are true moments of wholeness when the mind, body and spirit are in sync with each other and one feels truly present. the Idea steamed from Abraham Maslow's research where he discusses the true meaning of peak experiences. Traveling can give people peak experiences through finding new identities in them selves, learning and connecting with other cultures, experiencing and connecting with nature, and more.
The following are resources to explore and help you understand the power of peak experiences:

Ecofeminism
“Ecofeminism is premised upon the social critique that the domination of women through patriarchy and the domination of nature through the Western model of development, are intrinsically linked... There is a systematic domination, they claim, over both women and nature, underpinned by a conceptual set of dualism. These dualisms would be familiar as man/woman, mind/body, reason/emotion, human/nature, active/passive and so forth. The importance lies, however, not just in the presumption that reality does in fact occur in binary opposite sets, but that the former in each pair is believed to be justifiably superior to the latter... As both forms of domination and all others that conform to this pattern are bound by the same conceptual logic, each must be addressed in order to address the others. Therefore, the ecological crises cannot be challenged without challenging patriarchy and vice versa... Ecofeminism insists on breaking apart these dualisms to (re)create a society of reciprocity and mutuality without hierarchy or domination. For this reason, all systems of domination, including racism, classicism, and heterosexism amongst others must also be overcome as they stem from the same logic of domination (Sydee, Beder, 282-283).”
