Why Cognitive Architecture Matters in Healthcare
Designing healthcare spaces isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating environments that heal. From the placement of windows to the choice of colors, every design element has the potential to impact recovery, reduce stress, and support the people within. Cognitive architecture helps bridge the gap between science and design, ensuring that healthcare facilities meet both emotional and functional needs.
