4 STATE OF THE ART 4.2 Modern healing architecture Entering a hospital is not the most comfortable situation, for most people, depending on the occasion. Arriving as a patient or a loved one, it can be the anticipation of good or bad news, or simply an employee arriving at work. All with a purpose, and all in need of wayfinding and safety. (Ulrich et al., 2004) Design, landscape and materials meet you, when you arrive at a hospital, no matter what state you are in. Inside the hospital, different func- tional needs will appear, e.g. a professional environment for the staff and a healing and soothing atmosphere for patients. (Nickl-Weller and Nickl, 2013) Everyone who spend time in the hospital will benefit from daylight, thermal comfort and access to nature during the stay. Healing is about promoting wellbeing or adding a therapeutic effect. When it comes to healing architecture, it is all about how the physical space affects the healing in patients and staff. Providing spaces for treatment and recovery while adding windows for view and daylight. This is supported by the masters of daylight, as Louis Kahn ”A room is not a room without natural light” and Le Corbusier “Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnifi- cent play of masses brought together in light”.
