The application of healing architecture and green architecture in hospital for children

Abstract

Healing Architecture Approach which is generally interpreted as healing which is done through architectural elements. In its application, Healing Architecture is generally associated with giving aspects of colour and nature into buildings, considering these two aspects are proven to be able to help the patient’s recovery rate. But by definition, the application of Healing Architecture does not always have to be realized in the form of the two aspects above. The purpose of the research is providing medical health facilities for children and special services for children’s character with a healing architecture approach and based on the green building concept. The study process used in designing the Children’s Hospital with the Healing Architecture Approach and the Application of the Green Building Concept is carried out by a research method that is quantitative-correlative analysis, which is to find and determine the correlation between the research variables. In a design object, a new approach is applied in the Healing Architecture principle. This approach is applied in the design of objects by presenting a healing feel of the architecture of the building itself in hospital activities. The Healing Architecture approach is supported by the green concept, which includes the entire building.
