HEALTHCARE ARCHITECT TURNED PATIENT: WHAT I LEARNED WHEN ADMITTED TO A FACILITY I HELPED DESIGN

摘要

My formal education and 39-year career have taught me many lessons about healthcare design and construction. I know a lot about the effects of color, texture, and light on the human mind. Even an understanding of the fundamentals of electrical and mechanical engineering has come my way. Those lessons and all that experience pale when compared to what I learned when I entered the hospital as a patient. I was admitted to my client's facility- butes, but I also wanted so much more.
