Abstract

This project addresses the urgent need for integrated postpartum care facilities in Indonesia by using multisensory architecture to evoke positive emotions and enhance the well-being of mothers experiencing postpartum depression. The Sense of Coherence approach emphasizes manageability, meaningfulness, and comprehensibility in creating supportive and healing environments. Secondary data are utilized to analyze the primary cause of postpartum depression: a lack of social support. Documentaries are reviewed to understand user characteristics and prioritize design responses. The design project uses a force-based framework with culture as the initial bias, developing criteria for interaction groups: mother-inner circle, mother-other mothers, and mother-healthcare staff. From examining these group interactions, the proposed concepts focus on moving, connecting, resting, relaxing, and healing the users. The forces of healing through design: tranquility, and connectivity are addressed by creating spatial qualities that emphasize privacy and presence in guest rooms. These spaces highlight vision, auditory, and movement, enhancing interactions within the mother-inner circle. Communality is fostered to create the socialness of a space; the pond, yoga studio, and areas designated for book club activities in the library serve as spaces that can slow down users, decrease movement, and promote social interaction. For interactions between mothers and healthcare staff, the design incorporates elements of interiority that create implicit barriers, allowing mothers to feel still, in control, and able to customize their environments. Overall, the design project emphasizes the use of architectural elements to enhance visual, auditory, and movement sense, thereby creating more supportive and healing environments for mothers with postpartum depression.

Rancangan merespons urgensitas fasilitas perawatan postpartum terintegrasi di Indonesia melalui arsitektur multisensori untuk membangkitkan emosi positif pada ibu dengan depresi postpartum. Pendekatan Sense of Coherence menekankan manageability, comprehensibility, dan meaningfulness dalam menciptakan suasana yang mendukung pemulihan. Data sekunder digunakan untuk menganalisis penyebab utama depresi postpartum: kurangnya dukungan sosial. Dokumenter ditinjau untuk memahami karakteristik pengguna dan memprioritaskan respons desain. Rancangan menggunakan force-based framework, memposisikan culture sebagai titik awal untuk mengembangkan kriteria pada kelompok interaksi: ibu-kelompok terdekat, ibu-ibu lainnya, dan ibu-staf kesehatan. Berdasarkan analisis interaksi kelompok-kelompok ini, diusulkan konsep desain yang berfokus pada: moving, connecting, resting, relaxing, dan healing. Forces berupa pemulihan melalui desain: tranquility dan connectivity direspons dengan menciptakan kualitas ruang yang menekankan privasi dan presence) pada area kamar. Ruang ini menonjolkan aspek visual, auditori, dan pergerakan, meningkatkan interaksi dalam kelompok terdekat ibu. Komunalitas dihadirkan untuk menciptakan kesan sosial dalam ruang; kolam, studio yoga, dan ruang baca berfungsi untuk memperlambat dan mengurangi pergerakan, sehingga mendorong interaksi sosial. Interaksi antara ibu dan staf kesehatan mengintegrasikan elemen interior yang menciptakan barrier implisit, memungkinkan ibu tetap memiliki kendali atas lingkungan mereka. Secara keseluruhan, rancangan ini menekankan penggunaan elemen arsitektur untuk meningkatkan indera visual, auditori, dan pergerakan, sehingga menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih mendukung.
