Abstract
There is no doubt that the architecture of hospitals have a considerable effect on the healing of patients and the resilience health care professionals. Even if there are general concepts, real scientific exploration of the topic is vastly lacking. For scientific research it will be important to examine the emotions of patients when confronted with the diverse influence factors on well-being in hospitals. Close collaboration of physicians, patients’ representatives, nursing scientists, medical psychologists and architectures is needed to create a scientific basis for the construction of healing hospitals.
