Abstract
This thesis explores the concept of care in architecture through horizontal and vertical movement, emphasizing the journey of healing through space. Situated on a site overlooking a volcano, the project reinterprets ancient architectural principles as a foundation for healing environments. While volcanoes are often associated with danger, this proposal reframes them as places of refuge "The Cradle of the Volcano" symbolizing safety, renewal, and transformation. The design investigates how natural light, green space, material texture, and views can shape well-being and personal growth. Through its spatial organization and connection to context, the thesis proposes architecture as a reflection and belonging.
