For this project, I chose to look at the process of healing and learning through art and the environment surrounding us. it is important for me to really understand and explore the way people interact and are influenced by different environments. I intend to research and look at as much "inspiring" places in order to an a good idea on how people function and what could be changed in order to maximize the "experiences".
I grew up in Switzerland and always had a hard time finding a place where to study. Most of the school and public libraries were not places where I Could easily concentrate. Last summer, when I went back home all my friends studying in Lausanne told me I HAD to come and visit their new Library at the EPFL campus. It was amazing, never I had seen such a place for students. When I passed those doors, I told my self "Why are you going across the globe to study when you have this kind of facilities available to you here". I wish this building existed back then, when I was in high school, it would have really helped me through my exams. This library was especially design to "heal & learn" in my opinion.
