Archevent (Architecture Event) is an annual event organized by the students of Architecture Department, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Indonesia, as a forum for students, academics, practitioners, and others who have interest in built-environment discipline in creating, innovating, exchanging ideas, and gaining new insights. Our main event consists of a design competition, webinar series, and editorial.

Natural disasters have been a major issue all around the world, in particular, South East Asia countries. It is known that natural disasters and mental health are often linked due to the profound effect on someone’s life of traumatic events. It includes the mental health of survivors who risk losing their identities in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Those mental health adverse effects can manifest as mental instability which can have a detrimental impact on a person’s productivity.

As a result of this phenomenon, healing architecture can support post-natural disasters recovery as it emphasizes the correlation between the user, and the user and the environment. Healing architecture is a method that implements architectural elements to support the healing process and meet the needs of patients, based on a few principles: spatial legibility, privacy, dignity, and company, view and nature, environment, appearance (Lawson, 2010).

The concept of healing architecture will aid in the user’s psychological recovery. As a design solution, the idea is intended to assist post-natural disaster trauma victims in regaining a sense of purpose or improving their quality of life. A person who has experienced post-disaster trauma can recover over time but depends on ability and willpower, which is called resilience. The resilience of natural disaster victims becomes the main purpose in applying the healing architecture concept. Furthermore, it plays a key role to create a building design that integrates natural elements, five senses, and psychology.
