Jyoti Mahil-Shah earned her Doctorate of Medicine from Central America Health Sciences University. She is interested in exploring healing design in the healthcare environment.

Healing Spaces proposes a new urban typology that combines the human scale and an intimate experience of a villagescape with public and medical spaces. It investigates the current fragmentation of the health care system, which lacks connection with the natural and the spiritual. With a better understanding of environmental psychology, these relationships can be translated into an architectural response that encourages individual and community wellness.
