2 LITTERATURE REVIEW 2.8 Atmosphere The biological effects of light in the space can somehow be measured on the body. How the mind reacts to different light scenarios is much harder to measure, but through observations, interviews and tests this can be verified through thorough philosophy and qualitative research. In “Atmosphere in hospital wards”, Stidsen investigated how something as simple as the height of the light source can affect the atmosphere in hos- pitals. Stidsen describes the connection between space and body and puts and emphasis on the body as a part of the space. The person in a space is thus part of the experience and the way the atmosphere is perceived. It then becomes a given to including oneself as part of the experience. (Stidsen, 2013, p. 91) She elaborates on the two different explanations of atmosphere from wikipedia and The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, “The term can be understood as the atmosphere between people or the emotional experi- ence of a situation or space” making it hard to determine the exact meaning and qualities. “The feeling or mood that you have in a particular place or situation; a feeling between two people or in a group of people” Oxford Advanced Learner’s (Hornby and Turnbull, 2010) “Atmosphere is an immediate form of physical perception and is rec- ognised through emotional sensibility. Architects and designers use the notion of atmosphere to argue that architecture and space is designed and built for people to use and experience.” (Wikipedia) Working with psychiatric patients, this can possibly add to the bad mood within the hospital. Meaning that, when the patient is having a bad day, then that becomes part of the perceived atmosphere and surroundings. The at- mosphere in a hospital can be experienced when two patients meet or as an immediate feeling or emotion of the physical aspects of a space. This links atmosphere to three criteria: self, others and architectural space. When designing for a space with 24-hour patients, it is important to bear in mind that the wrong solution might cause illness and even discomfort. The last is hard to measure, but the word atmosphere can be perceived as a measureable point, qualitatively speaking. The essence of atmosphere will be explored through the findings and understanding of Gernot Böhme, Mau- rice Merleay-Ponty, Peter Zumthor and the Danish researcher Lone Stidsen. Böhme addresses the atmosphere in light, colour and sounds in ”Atmos- phere as the Fundamental Concept of a New Aesthetics”.
