I found an Interesting video on youtube concerning hospital design. Chuck Siconolfi talks in this video on how building healing spaces. He has many more videos concerning healthcare design on the website for the HOK architectural firm at www.hoklife.com I encourage you to check this site out there is a lot of progressive architecture featured on it to do with many different design facits.
