Our tiny home workshop was an incredible hands-on experience that brought architecture to life for our students. After an informative presentation on tiny homes, students divided into teams, each tasked with designing and constructing essential elements of the structure. Through collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving, this talented group transformed cardboard boxes into a remarkable tiny home!

HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE POSITIVELY IMPACT OUR MENTAL HEALTH?
Architecture has a measurable impact on how people feel in a space. Elements like natural light, color, material texture, acoustics, and views of the outdoors can influence mood, stress levels, and overall mental wellbeing.
​
Many of these effects are tied to our sense of connection with nature. Features such as large windows, skylights, and natural lighting support this connection and can help regulate circadian rhythms, improving sleep and focus.
​
Incorporating biophilic design through natural materials, indoor plants, and access to outdoor spaces can reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety. As architect Ayse Sen notes, “Buildings that provide access to outdoor spaces and incorporate elements of biophilic design, such as plants and natural materials, can help to reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety” (2023).
​
Design decisions have real consequences. By prioritizing wellbeing, architects can create spaces that quietly support the health of the people who use them.
Black Architects in the making would like to share an exciting opportunity to get involved in our organization. We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Sponsor and Donor Coordinator to help us build meaningful partnerships and lasting relationships. You can find the application HERE or reach out to info@bamorlando.com with any questions.
