The research project at ICU units

Remember that me and Kristina Sahlqvist from HDK were working on a research design project for ICU units collobrating with neuroarchitecture? Kristina Sahlqvist led an interdisciplinary research project focusing on improving hospital environments for rehabilitation and since we had close contact since thesis i stepped in project helping with research part. The project involved experts from various fields and resulted in a conceptual solution for an optimal rehabilitation ward. The design included a central space for patients and families to cook and eat together, creating a more normal hospital experience. Sahlqvist has also previously collaborated on an artistic development project, incorporating redesigned furniture, smart textiles, and sensory elements. Sahlgrenska University Hospital plans to test multimodal stimulation in an intensive care room. The research considers the social dynamics of patients, families, and staff. Sahlqvist highlights the potential of neuroarchitecture for enhancing learning and emphasizes the need for more stimulating environments for older individuals.

I am keeping these questions for my second visit (hopefully) So as for the building, the architects achieved the openness and closeness very well with t...

Workplaces and neuroarchitecture - do you know Christina Bodin Danielsson?

Image
I have known quite a while about Christina Danielsson. Her name alwyas came up when I was digging into neuroarchitecture network in Sweden. She often works at detailed research about work place design, discussing pros and cons about activity based offices. Which was a trend once but not employers got to a point to realize the variations of working habits, and actually got it quite benefical down sizing squarmeters and introducing different functions Anyways, when i bumped into Christina at Skolhusgruppens event we chatted frankly on relation between consentration and heights, brain development and so on. I later came across to her research that published last year. Outline is - Focus on employee and manager behaviors, rather than just the physical environment and technology. - Assess employee engagement and willingness to collaborate in an activity-based working setting. - Measure adaptability to changes in work practices and overall satisfaction with the approach. - Evaluate man...
