Why is stress such an accepted part of today’s society and what can a designer understand about this phenomenon to create spaces that could address this problem among individuals?
As a person living in today’s increasingly prevalent mechanically conditioning society, I have personally felt the pressure to conform to these conditions, which has resulted in feelings of confusion, anxiety and stress. As a designer I want to explore this phenomenon and investigate ways that design can intervene in a positive way to potentially alleviate stress levels among other individuals that have recognised a similar reaction to societies conformist pressures.

Keywords – introspective spaces in a city context.
