Nurture

Outdoor healing spaces address the cornerstones of the modern healthcare approach—advancing patient health, creating an increasingly humanized experience, and supporting caregivers -- all while fostering a sound medical practice. Today’s innovative healthcare institutions are creating more humane, more empathetic and more supportive environments that activate the untapped power of the outdoors to connect, empower, heal, and rejuvenate. 

An increased focus on physician-patient-hospital relations is calling for better communication through increasingly human-centered design, and hospitals recognize how creating compassionate spaces that reduce stress can lead to faster healing and higher satisfaction. As a part of this progressive, more holistic model of care, Landscape Forms provides the inspiration and solutions to help activate outdoor healing spaces to better support patients, visitors, doctors and caregivers.

To inspire and illustrate how we can create more nurturing and supportive healthcare environments together, we’d like to share some thought starters, insights, and project installations, all incorporating the many years of experience we have in collaboratively and innovatively designing for the outdoor space.
