Why am I doing this?

What is the thesis?
That is, what is the proposition stated or put forward for consideration/discussion and to be proved or to be maintained against objections?

NB. this final year is about the design (1) and the thesis (2)

Original critical question:
Using phenomenological and salutogenic design frameworks, can the stigma of an old ‘insane asylum’ be overcome and/or used to advantage to create an ‘architectural placebo’ for mental healthcare?

- haptic and sensory design to create the feeling of the architectural placebo
- the placebo effect will enhance the belief of the staff that this place will help these patients recover and restore their mental health, and maintain this
- are these enough to overcome the stigma of this old insane asylum?
