Interior design has a major impact on the quality of inpatient health premises; all over the world, the wellbeing of patients is increasingly the focus of treatment, healing, and care in all kinds of premises, from pediatric to geriatric wards. A carefully devised interior design concept for the patient room can significantly enhance the recovery process of the patient, and improve their wellbeing.
The book documents the design of patient rooms as the core element of a hospital. It explains the different design components such as material, color, light, surface texture, etc., while addressing the necessities of hygiene, as well as those of workflow, and economic viability. The book is rounded off by ten international project examples.
