“…An unexpected finding in this study was that patients reported being satisfied with the existing interior of the hospital and preferred traditional, industrial style hospital furniture over the home-like furniture preferred by the designers. In contrast, the home-like furniture found in the lounge area (where partners could retreat and relax) was identified as a positive attribute of the built environment (Mogensen et al 2014). Four of the articles (Lundin, 2021; Nielsen & Overgaard, 2020; Simonsen & Duff, 2020, 2021) were based on studies of newly built hospital environments.…”

“…A surprising finding was that relatives in three-bed wards experienced a greater sense of privacy than those in a one-bed ward. Mogensen et al (2014) explored patients’ preferences for improvements to the general hospital design, textiles, and furniture. An unexpected finding in this study was that patients reported being satisfied with the existing interior of the hospital and preferred traditional, industrial style hospital furniture over the home-like furniture preferred by the designers.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify evidence on how characteristics of healing architecture in clinical contexts impact clinical practice and patient experiences. Based on these insights, we advance a more practice-based approach to the study of how healing architectures work. Background: The notion of “healing architecture” has recently emerged in discussions of the spatial organization of healthcare settings, particularly in the Nordic countries. This scoping review summarizes findings from seven articles which specifically describe how patients and staff experience characteristics of healing architecture. Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. We referred to the decision tool developed by Pollock et al. to confirm that this approach was the most appropriate evidence synthesis type to identify characteristics related to healing architecture and practice. To ensure the rigor of this review, we referred to the methodological guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews. Results: There are two main findings of the review. First, there is no common or operative definition of healing architecture used in the selected articles. Secondly, there is limited knowledge of how healing architecture shapes clinical and patient outcomes. Conclusions: We conclude that further research is needed into how healing architectures make a difference in everyday clinical practices, both to better inform the development of evidence-based designs in the future and to further elaborate criteria to guide postoccupancy evaluations of purpose-built sites.

A Conceptual Framework for Integration of Evidence-Based Design with Lighting Simulation Tools

Abstract:The use of lighting simulation tools has been growing over the past years which has improved lighting analysis. While computer simulations have proven to be a viable tool for analyzing lighting in physical environments, they have difficulty in assessing the effects of light on occupant's perception. Evidence-based design (EBD) is a design method that is gaining traction in building design due to its strength in providing means to assess the effects of built environments on humans. The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual framework for integrating EBD with lighting simulation tools. Based on a literature review, it was investigated how EBD and lighting simulation can be combined to provide a holistic lighting performance evaluation method. The results show that they can mutually benefit from each other. EBD makes it possible to evaluate and/or improve performance metrics by utilizing user feedback. On the other hand, performance metrics can be used for a better description of evidence, and to analyze the effects of lighting with more details. The results also show that EBD can be used to evaluate light simulations to better understand when and how they should be performed. A framework is presented for integration of lighting simulation and EBD.
