다감각자극 요소를 적용한 아트케어 공간에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose)Stresses on our body from too much information and exposure to tons of images can often lead to mental and physical disorder to today's people, and consequently art therapy is attracting a lot of interest as a means of healing. However, in addition to the fragmented care relying heavily on a technique of art therapy, there is also a need for holistic healing environment which involves the physical context. Thus this study aims to provide a new methodology of designing healing environment by closely integrating multisensory stimulation elements with healing qualities alongside a new understanding on human body. (Method)The study drew six multisensory stimulation elements resulting from reciprocal interaction of senses, that is, assistance, tangibility, operability, repeatability, synesthesia, and immersion. Based on the derived interpretation system, case analysis was carried out on the existing spaces for art care.(Result)The result shows that existing art care spaces are rather passive to express a space as a holistic healing environment encompassing physical, social and psychological components. With a growing importance of healing space design in the future, there is a need for applying an integrated approach to develop a healing environment.
