Whitepaper - Healthcare

Style as substance in Healthcare design

The current shift away from solely utilitarian healthcare design towards a more sensitive approach acknowledges the ability of design to influence mood, evoke states and shape behaviours that promote healing and wellbeing in patients.

This whitepaper sets out to examine the concept of a ‘healing healthcare environment’ that filters function through a design lens rather than vice versa, and to explore how designers and architects of healthcare spaces can achieve this in practice.
