Better hospitals begin with better design

Even small initiatives and conscious design choices can make a decisive difference to patients’ experience of quality and professionalism – and may help reduce the cognitive load on both patients and their relatives, who are often already unwell or anxious. Researchers from Kolding School of Design are working in an interdisciplinary team with Norwegian colleagues to explore how light, materials and spatial qualities can become key parameters that also influence patients’ treatment experiences in hospital.

Med udnævnelsen af Mette Julie Bundgaard som studielektor styrker Designskolen Kolding sit engagement i udviklingen af et designfelt, hvor æstetik, ansvarlighed og samfundsmæssig forandring går hånd i hånd – og hvor forbindelserne mellem mennesker, discipliner og beslutningsniveauer er afgørende for fremtiden.
