Description
Ten researchers survey views on healing architecture in child psychiatry buildings in a paper from 2024. Building design can support or hinder therapy, a notion called healing architecture. The team used a questionnaire built for child and adolescent psychiatry settings. Senior doctors and architects across Germany answered it between 2020 and 2022.
Thirty-six department heads and eighty-eight architects completed the survey in full. The two groups agreed on the design value of most of the ninety-three items. They split on only four points, covering grounds, building structure, floor labeling, and visible cleanliness. The authors say those gaps should be aired early in hospital planning. Shared views can then guide new builds.
