The Naumburg Center
The Naumburg Center explores the convergence of ecology and artistic expression to bolster the effects of therapeutic art programs by providing introverted and extroverted therapeutic spaces aimed at supplying physical and mental respite and cognitive stimulation for K-12 groups, veterans with PTSD, and those struggling with mental illnesses.
The center investigates the transformative potential of the ever-changing salt marsh ecosystem to enhance the effects of art therapy while simultaneously addressing the multifaceted concerns of architectural resilience, the bolstering of communal assets and engagement opportunities, and environmentally conscious design strategies.
Borrowing from the values of photography and the study of human peripheral vision and subsequent cognitive intrigue, keyframes are established around the curation of live captures of the surrounding natural and artistic landscape within both interior and exterior spaces.
