The Mind Machine,
Mental Health Centre,
Johor Bahru.
The purpose of this project is to address the issues of rising mental health problems in Malaysia, the stigmatization of accessing mental health and the lack of mental health education amongst the general population. The project aims to understand how the inner workings of the mind works, through conscious and unconscious thinking; to use techniques that are able to tap into the conscious and unconscious thinking in translating abstract thinking into tangible architecture design; and to design a mental health centre that offers consultation, therapeutic treatment, and educates the users on how the mind works, through an explorative journey of space that is translated from the designer’s own conscious and unconscious mind. A wide series of studies regarding consciousness and behavior, such as of Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis and unconsciousness, the levels of consciousness such as animal consciousness, self conscious, higher consciousness, artificial consciousness, and methods to stimulate the conscious and unconscious mind have been used as an effort to try to understand the most familiar yet mysterious thing in the world - the human mind.
