Introduction to Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine

A healthcare design based on sacred geometry becomes a physical expression of the mind-body-spirit harmony that is the goal of integrative medicine. The medical space planning as well as interior architecture of this clinic is based on the spiral or chambered nautilus shell (an example of sacred geometry) which exemplifies the Golden Mean, a mathematical relationship known to create feelings of harmony and comfort. It gives form to the design of ceilings and a myriad of details.
