An Architectural Study on the Healing Environment Design through the Analysis of Sensory Stimulation in the General Hospitals' Patient-Room

감각자극 분석을 통한 종합병원 다인 병실의 치유 환경에 관한 건축 계획적 연구

Patients use the senses all the time, mostly simultaneously. Senses are never turned off even patients in serious condition use some of the senses. Space is the inexhaustible source of stimuli. So far we have thought that it is impossible to come up with a set of rules and guidelines that cover all the possible situations involving senses and when there have been usually no conscious coordination between different sensorial stimuli and the comprehensive perception of space always results from the engagement of combination of senses and other inputs based on knowledge and experience. This study concerns about patients' demand analysis through senses. The reflection of patients' demand to the ward planning can develope the healing environment.
