| dc.description.abstract | This design practicum presents a proposed dental clinic and mix-use facility in Comitancillo, Guatemala. The clinic is for use by Dentistry for All (DFA), a Canadian volunteer organization that conducts dental clinics in Comitancillo biannually. The building is intended to be shared with a local organization based in Comitancillo, whose primary goal is to improve the quality of life for the Maya Mam Community. During a volunteer experience with DFA in November 2016, I was able to immerse myself in the culture and the place, gaining a deeper understanding of both. Engaging people through innovative, responsible and sustainable design solutions, while developing a space that fosters positive experiences, a sense of well-being and a sense of place, was the design philosophy and driving force behind the proposed dental clinic and mix-use facility in Comitancillio. | en_US |
