Dutch architectural historian Cor Wagenaar has
called many hospitals:
"... built catastrophes, anonymous institutional
complexes run by vast bureaucracies, and totally
unfit for the purpose they have been designed
for ... They are hardly ever functional, and instead
of making patients feel at home, they produce
stress and anxiety."
The research of British Medical Association
shows that good hospital design can reduce
patient's recovery time.
