Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to study the cognitive effects of architectural design specifically related to patient care in architecture. Much of architecture today is based upon efficiency, potential profit, and aesthetics which mutes the understanding of creating a meaningful and successful building. I challenge the understanding of healthcare architecture today. With the use of research, both in the modern and historical context, a comprehensive design solution is established with the use of the natural environment and more emotionally focused spaces.
