Chiba University Hospital V
Chiba University Hospital’s numerous imaging suites gave their team the opportunity to create an intuitive wayfinding system that identified each suite by the type of clouds and foliage seen in each Luminous SkyCeiling. For example, the hospital’s X-ray fluoroscopy systems featured spring foliage and colorful blossoms while the General Electric CT suites featured dark green tropical palms and rich blue skies.
The 6’ X 8’ (1.80m X 2.40m) Open Sky Compositions enable everyone occupying these isolated rooms, from patients to staff, to experience a tangible source of relief.
Resting one’s gaze directly overhead as it explores the perceived vertical volume has effective therapeutic qualities.
A biophilic illusion of nature enables the parasympathetic subsystem of the Autonomous Nervous System to engage visual-spatial stimuli that is familiar, comforting, and enables the mind and emotions to settle, evoking positive associations with the observer’s past memories of biophilic encounters in wide open natural environments.
