CHILDREN HOSPITAL ROOM
INTERIOR DESIGN
2016
Final bachelor's project awarded by the University of Guanajuato, based on my dissertation research.
The context and the children's perception of the hospital room were analyzed, to come up with an interior design proposal based on environmental psychology theories.
Project questioning: How to improve hospitalized children's perception of their room?
HOLISTIC PERCEPTION
The environmental elements in the hospital room, such as smells, colors, ergonomic, light, textures, thermal comfort, and so on; affect the user's perception (children in a range age between 6-12 years old) and as a domino effect their feelings and behavior.
