4 STATE OF THE ART 4.1 Sanatorium tradition The tradition of providing beautiful spaces, interesting views and providing healing environments for inner healing is not new in Denmark. Focus on the patient rather than functionality used to be a common strategy. The new human-centred approach in healing architecture takes notes from historical sanatorium facilities. To highlight two facilities focusing on great architec- ture, beautiful landscaping and daylight, the psychiatric hospital in Risskov and the Tuberculosis sanatorium in Vejle is depicted below. The state of the art section in this thesis is delimited to current Danish health care architec- ture and will thus focus on the latest findings and the implementation of different cases of dynamic lighting. Super architecture is a term used about new architecture that combines aesthetics and sustainability and additionally has a positive effect on the environment as well as the human wellbeing. Dr Terri Peters draws attention to old treatment forms known from care cottages and sanatoriums that was popular in the years 1885-1950. Sanatorium stays included fresh air, nature and therapeutic architectural features. A human-centred approach to psychiatric treatment, and putting people first, was the objective in the end of the 19th century. Many famous build- ings, such as the Alvar Alto sanatorium in Paimio from 1933, were erected during that period. The Paimio sanatorium differentiates from the current state of the art, being tall and functionalistic ( Photo J). Peters emphasises the importance of the human-centred approach, providing patients with ar- chitectural quality, daylight and experience, combining landscape and beau- tiful architecture in the healing process. (Peters, 2017) “Hormones are formed when humans feel good – this is why they call it healing architecture. (...) Actually, these are all parameters that archi- tects should always take into consideration” (Quote translated from Danish, Nord arkitekter, Johannes M.
