A Salutogenic Approach to Mental Healthcare Architectural Thesis June 2025
about.
I am Jomari Kaiser M. Bermido, a BS Architecture graduate from Bicol University Institute of Design and Architecture. I am an aspiring architect with a strong passion for design, visualization, and creating spaces that are both purposeful and meaningful.
My experience spans design development, technical drafting, 3D modeling, rendering, and on-site project inspection, allowing me to approach architecture from both creative and technical perspectives. I value thoughtful design, attention to detail, and continuous growth, and I strive to transform ideas into functional, well-resolved spaces that respond to the needs of their users and the character of their surroundings.

The right to health is a fundamental human right, yet mental healthcare in the Philippines remains underdeveloped, with limited facilities and inadequate policies. Despite R.A. 11036, psychiatric care remains inaccessible, particularly in Albay, where only one licensed mental health facility exists. The study aims to be replicable, however its locale is within the Bicol Region. Findings reveal a significant shortage of services, an urgent need for a 300-bed psychiatric facility, and a lack of national planning and design guidelines for mental healthcare environments. Architecture plays a crucial role in creating psychosocially supportive spaces that enhance patient well-being. This study explores the salutogenic approach to designing a mental healthcare facility, integrating the three (3) salutogenic principles comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. Through interviews, surveys, document collection and observation, this research develops specialized salutogenic guidelines that aims to have a different approach on mental healthcare facilities.
