Evidence-based color and lighting design

The evidence-based redesign of the new children’s therapy facility is part of a research project investigating the effects of environmental factors such as light and color on patients and staff. The involvement of future users is ensured through a participatory process. The project objectives are to be achieved by systematically and sustainably improving the environmental factors of light and color.
