COP3 Research

Nature, wellbeing and medical environments


This research goes towards understanding what affects hospitals aesthetic choices and questioning the existing themes of many designs and why this is.


The use of nature in an environment has been proven to be beneficial towards our health specifically reducing feelings of anxiety as well as the perception of pain according to interior designer Oliver Heath.

Dr. Fisher of Western General Hospital claims that generally regarding patients within a medical environment there often should be a connection with nature in this instance.

“A view to the outdoors and of nature is very important to healing”
