ABSTRACT
The meaning of spirituality has developed and expanded over time, and various
connotations can be found alongside each other.[1][2][3][note 1]
Traditionally, spirituality referred to a religious process of re-formation which
"aims to recover the original shape of man",[note 2] oriented at "the image of
God"[4][5] as exemplified by the founders and sacred texts of the religions of the
world.
People look for help from a divine power in order to find themselves, in order to
make sense of the world, or in order to make sense of their own lives when chaos
surrounds them. People search for peace in their world - but that has to start with
peace from within. To find peace within, those in search of answers ask for help
from a spiritual source. In most cases, that means gathering to a church or a
wellness center to find people that can assist with gaining answers. The buildings
themselves typically have little impact on people looking for spiritual guidance –

but it could.
Those in need of spiritual help, and in this specific case, those in need of addiction
treatment, can gather in a built environment that is not only spiritual because the
outdoor signage says so, but because the architecture itself is spiritual. By creating
an architectural language that serves not only as a catalyst, but as a channel for
conversation between human soul and universal energy, the built environment can
carry occupants to a greater spiritual existence. Architecture that is spiritually
connected to the earth it occupies will then transfer the energy of the universe into
the soul of the occupant, and vice versa, creating spiritual wholeness, which results
in internal peace within their mind, body, and soul. And for people searching
for ]solutions that can help with their personal demons, this architectural language
could speak the answers they are wishing and or needing to hear.
People have always looked for the 'new big thing,' the new technology, an
innovative design in hopes to improve the future. But, in some ways, so many man-
made materials are being produced that the beauty and value of the existing world
is being overlooked.
