Episode Details

You walk into a hospital room and something in you settles — but you couldn't say why. Evidence-based design has spent four decades answering that question, and the answer is more concrete than you'd expect: window views, daylight, acoustics, and layout measured like clinical variables. Drawing on Roger Ulrich's landmark 1984 study and a 2026 rapid review in Frontiers in Public Health, this episode walks through the six environmental levers of healing spaces, why real nature outperforms VR and posters, and why a single potted plant in a fluorescent corridor does almost nothing.
