De(sign) in patient space: User-creativity in hospital settings
Journal Title: The Journal of Health Design - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
* Building interiors are made first by design and then by use. * There is growing focus on occupational health and safety (OHS) posters and warnings in hospital buildings. * Design-by-use factors, such as excessive signage and visual pollution, impacts negatively on user experiences. * Developing “user-creatives” for hospital buildings could assist in creating a better environment for the wellbeing of all users.
