Spiritual and Numinous Moments in Architecture
Architecture is a powerful influence on our wellbeing as it impacts all of our senses while making up 90% of our surroundings. Studies have shown how the built environment impacts our physical wellbeing: hormone production, inflammation, gut and respiratory health, stress level, immunity, cognitive performance, social interactions, emotional wellbeing, etc.
This trend sees architecture’s departure from a visually ostentatious fad to a must-be-experienced effect that is subtle, yet potent, in its ability to touch our soul. We are not separate from our buildings; our buildings influence us, nudge our behavior and practices, impact our mood, and inhibit or enhance our capacity to tap into our own spirituality.
The Future: Wellness architecture has taken off, heavily focused on functional design, whether circadian lighting or air purification, and now, after last year’s great reset, architecture is elevating its game in all areas, especially its role in nurturing our spiritual wellbeing.
“AM Resorts is developing new projects with signature spas in partnership with skilled designers, seeking to provide an enhanced environment for our guests, focusing on personalization within the spas in addition to wellness suites in our resorts. We are at a moment in the wellness industry where the interaction within our environments and construction that connects us with nature has become paramount, we need to exalt the senses and reconnect with our origins.”
