The psychological effect of light
becomes hugely important in
hospitals and care settings
where people spend as little
time as possible and then only
out of necessity. Nowhere else
do people spend as much time
in a single room, nowhere else
can light assist the recovery
process so directly, shorten the
patient’s stay, bring a smile to
visitors’ faces – and provide
care staff and doctors with
optimum care options.
Consistently mellow but never-
theless varied lighting scenes
and the emotive coexistence of
daylight, shadow and artificial
light make a valuable contribu-
tion towards convalescence.
Ease of control by patients and
staff alike provides not only
extra convenience but also
encourages greater awareness
of responsible use of energy.
Concrete measures:
– Intelligent control elements
such as CIRCLE CONTROL
POINT
– Time-controlled changes in
lighting scene
– Dynamic lighting accents on
walls and objects
– Light colour and light
temperature adapted to
promote healing
– Indirect light for pleasant,
bright ceilings
– LED luminaires for night-time

for health

Every one of us has been in a In this respect, the claim of

hospital at least once, either for
treatment ourselves or to visit
friends or relatives.
Many people feel powerless
and at the mercy of the hos-
pital organisation. Numerous
hospitals recognised a long
time ago that the healing
process can be influenced
by a suitable, stimulating
environment, which positively
supports the physiological
and psychological welfare of the
patient.
Sick people are in a state of
disharmony, not just physically,
but also mentally: the emotional
needs of a sick person are not
the same as those of someone
who is healthy.
Le Corbusier also applies to
hospitals: “The right light at
the right time and in the right
quantity”.
If you look at a hospital from
a “technical lighting” point of
view, you will find that the light
in a hospital basically has to be
in line with three requirements:
Light must promote the welfare
of patients and create a tran-
quil atmosphere; light must
optimally support the accom-
plishment of particular visual
tasks in different thera pies and
examination proce dures, and
light must make orientation
easier in circulation areas and
where there are increased safe-
ty requirements.

Patients must feel well looked Lighting which makes people

balanced lighting quality that tant. These include reception
is matched to particular areas, waiting and visitor rooms,
requirements. rehabilitation rooms and patient
rooms. In these areas, a harmo-
nious lighting scene can counter
stress, reduce fears and con-
tribute to the development of a
pleasant room atmosphere,
therefore creating true oases
in all the comings and goings
of a hospital. In this way, room
scenes can be created that
address the senses in a positive
way, that support the patients’
well-being in the long term and
therefore stimulate their
recovery.
At the same time, however, light
must also create ideal condi-
tions for carrying out visual
tasks. Especially in rooms where
patients normally only spend lit-
tle time, as opposed to hospital
personnel, such as therapy and
treatment rooms, administrative
areas, laboratories, kitchens and
operating theatres, light’s prime
task is to support the work of
hospital personnel and promote
their sense of well-being. Above
all in examination rooms and
laboratory areas, where there is
often a lack of adequate day-
light, a well-directed, dynamic
modification of the intensity,
direction and colour of the light
can contribute to increasing
concentration, willingness to
perform, motivation and a sense

of well-being in the working
area. This is all the more impor-
tant as shift working predomi-
nates in hospitals, and being
permanently confronted with
sick people requires extra
strength.
Of course, in this respect the
necessary functionality of the
lighting, such as for medical
examinations and treatment,
must not fall short of require-
ments. Accordingly, light must
support the work of hospital
personnel by providing ade-
quately powerful, yet glare- and
shade-free illumination with
excellent colour rendition.
Finally, light must ensure safety

The hospital
yesterday and today

Antje Monz, graduate designer

For over 20 years, Antje Monz, together with her husband, Hans Monz, has specialised in the integrated
servicing of hospitals, doctors’ practices and therapeutic facilities. The two interior architects and
designers have since then been occupied with the interrelationship between interior design and room
therapy and with the question of how individuals and rooms influence each other.

“It is incredible how much strength the mind can give the body” (Wilhelm von Humboldt).

Rooms have an effect on peo-

ple, irrespective of how they are
designed, or indeed whether
they have been designed at all.
They can speak, tell stories,
calm, placate, enlighten the
mind, but also reinforce sadness
and pain. When people are ill
and bereft of their protective
shell, they are hypersensitive
and in particular greatly exposed
to all sensual stimuli. In the hos-
pitals of the 21st century, it is
therefore going to be a matter
of creating an environment that
communicates with the inner
strength of humans and helps to
lift them out of the lethargy
brought on by feeling ill. Apart
from formal, functional and
technical solutions, art will play
an important role in alleviating
reality using creative means:
creating moods with light and
colour, creating atmospheres, was the motive. It was mostly a sterile operation, dominated by

“Health is a state of total physical, mental and social sense of well-being, not simply the absence of
illness and infirmity” (World Health Organisation of the United Nations).
Recently, awareness has been
starting to change. People are
again thinking of themselves as
HUMANS. The sick person is at
the centre of the overall hospital
operation. He is the basis, the
starting point and the goal.
Without him, this commercial
institution would not exist. In
current times when people are
under psycho-social stress more
than ever before, it is a matter
of understanding the whole –

longer a case of just researching
the causes of their illnesses, but
more a case of considering
what factors could have an
influence on their health and
making them well again. The
future of hospital work will show
that man as an integral being
with all his disturbing influences,
of both a physical and psycho-
logical nature, with all his needs
and aspirations, must increas-
ingly take centre stage. It will
not only concentrate on the ill-
9
ness from a pathological point
of view, but will look all the
more at what makes people
happy and helps them to get
well. Service and comfort play
an increasing role here. Lug-
gage service to the room, snack
bar in the canteen, sunbathing
on the roof terrace, listening to
a favourite CD during an exami-
nation, sensible meals in com-
municative surroundings, art
exhibitions, fitness and wellness
classes, all make the hospital
into a place of healing with the
characteristics of a hotel. Views
of the natural environment, rath-
er than boring walls, patients’
having an influence on their sur-
roundings, possibilities of sanc-
tuary and protection are all fac-
tors that take on board people’s
basic needs and therefore help
them to recover. The same
applies particularly as far as
having the right lighting is con-
cerned, which makes a signifi-
cant contribution towards bring-
ing about a cosy, comfortable
atmosphere and, at the same
time, satisfies functional require-
ments.
Benefits
for patients and personnel

Benefits for patients

It is a fact that, for most peo-
ple, any time spent in hospital
is associated with fear and
uncertainty. The strange envi-
ronment, being isolated from
friends and family, being
removed from your daily rou-
tine, the new, medical cultural
background, incomprehensible
technical language, fear of the
illness, of pain, of having an
operation and finally of death all
cause psychological stress.
Added to these are the loss of
privacy and control of everyday
events, a lack of information
and a feeling of disorientation.
People find they are out of bal-
ance.

The influence of feelings

“The body alone is never the
cause of an illness. There is no
physical illness that can be
separated from the mind. The
body simply expresses mental
suffering in the form of illness”
(Socrates).
You might say that illness is a
state of disharmony between
body and mind. Psychoneu-
roimmunology puts forward the
opinion that feelings play an
important role in the onset of
illnesses. In fact, feelings influ-
ence the progress and charac-
teristics of illness and healing.
Psychological stress has a
measurable influence on the
structure and chemical compo-
sition of the body. The central
nervous system can be irritated
by a fault in the psychological
defences and trigger inade-
quate performance by the
immune system. This is how
illnesses can take hold. Conse-
quently, Psychoneuroimmuno-
logy focuses on the senses:
hearing, seeing, smelling, tast-
ing and feeling, as well as the
possibilities for influencing our
emotions.
Design as a therapeutic
influence
Research has shown that so-
called “factors of well-being” in
the hospital not only reduce the
necessity to take pain-killers,
but also considerably shorten
the average time spent in hos-
pital. Apart from sensitive care
personnel, there are actually a
few things that can be done to
influence the sense of well-
being of patients: familiar
shapes that create trust, sym-
metry that helps create equilib-
rium, soft noises which calm,
distinctive colours that harmo-
nise, nice smells that awaken
memories, nature which gives
strength and helps the healing
process. The whole environ-
ment – colour, light, materials,
sounds, smells – has an influ-
ence on the mind of the patient
and therefore on his recovery.
Design – even the room design
and lighting – has a demonstra-
ble therapeutic effect.

Benefits for personnel
A positively laid-out environ-
ment also has an effect on the
personnel. Their psychological
stress is also reduced. Nice
colours, good light, nature and
art have a positive effect on
everyday life. People like to go
to work, it is fun, the surround-
ings are communicative and
stimulating. It has been proven
that, amongst other things, a
well laid-out hospital experienc-
es fewer staff changes and
fewer people calling in sick.
Camaraderie and social interac-
tion increase noticeably. The
design of the environment can
increase the sense of well-
being among staff members
and result in a better quality of
life. A well thought out design
C O M M E N TA R Y
is not only an atmospheric ben-
efit, but also has practical
benefits to offer. Optimal work-
ing practices, shortening
routes, being “care-friendly”
and generating opportunities
for relaxation and sanctuary
increase efficiency and reduce
stress.
Economic efficiency
If a patient has to decide on a
clinic, the particular image of
the hospitals in competition
with one another takes on
increasing importance. On the
one hand, the level of medical
care offered is virtually the
same, but on the other hand, a
layman can seldom actually
assess the actual level of com-
petence of the medical care he
11
receives. Therefore, his judge-
ment is going to be based
above all on his view of the
equipment and atmosphere of
a hospital. The services, com-
fort and feel-good factor a
hospital offers therefore have a
decisive influence on how busy
it is, and therefore on its eco-
nomic efficiency as a business.
The restructuring of an environ-
ment also results in a change
of image. How the place looks
will change. A functionally
equipped hospital, which radi-
ates high-tech and aloofness,
can be changed into a more
human institution which loses
nothing in terms of technology,
perfection and scientific thor-
oughness, but still addresses
people’s vital forces. Their
sense of well-being is more in
line with a place where people
are healthy rather than sick. As
we have already said: such an
image change will also pay off
economically. The humanistic
approach, using design as a
means of therapeutic interven-
tion, which offers people
(patients, staff and visitors)
quality of life, thanks to a posi-
tively arranged environment,
not only is of value in an imma-
terial sense, but also has a
positive effect materially.

Solution from a single source

Complex building project:

This listed art nouveau hospital has
been modernised and has had an
extension added on.

Rehabilitation centre
in the Meran Hospital
Modernisation and
new building
The renovation and conversion
of a hospital which is a listed
building is in itself an architec-
tural challenge. In the spa town
of Meran in South Tyrol, the
contract was awarded to mo-
dernise the hospital, originally
built in 1912, with the added
complication of extending the
hospital by building a new reha-
bilitation centre.
The complex diversity of this
project, the planning and imple-
mentation of which was award-
ed to the architects’ studio
Novotny Mähner Associates of
Bolzano at the beginning of the
1990s, is due to the multifunc-
tionality of this hospital. Dia-
gnostic, laboratory and treat-
ment areas, reception, waiting
and staff rooms, operating thea-
tres, resuscitation rooms and
intensive care wards, delivery
and patient rooms, supply and
technical areas, storage facilities
and car parks place the most
varied of requirements on space
and architecture, as well as
on the lighting which has to be
functional and must conform
with relevant standards.
It is no accident that the trend
in hospital, rehabilitation centre
and care facility lighting is
towards suppliers who can
guarantee tailor-made, top qua-
lity lighting solutions from a sin-
gle source for all areas of appli-
cation, from operating theatres
via administration offices and
cafeterias to underground
garages, from a wide range of

Optimal examination
lighting
In the case of examinations,
ward rounds and medical care,
good, glare-free light with high
illuminance and excellent colour
rendition is vital. The solution
lies in a matched combination of
indirect general and directional
accent lighting. It is important
here that the cone of light is
directed so as to be glare-free
and that a low-glare light source
is used.
Lighting management systems
optimise the ratio between
direct and indirect light compo-
nents. Light sources with inter-
mediate colour and the best
colour rendition indexes make
it easier for hospital personnel
to master visual tasks.

Light for conversation Light for reading

and meals
Warmer light colours improve
the appetite and encourage
communication. They therefore
counteract the kind of prob-
lems that arise not only in old
people’s homes and rehabili-
tation centres. Lighting the
visitors’ table also sets accents.
A little individuality in the patient
room: At the touch of a button,
the lighting and room scenes can
be varied according to desires and
necessities.
An individually adjustable read-
ing light ensures that neighbour-
ing patients are not disturbed in
multi-bed rooms. It contributes
a little towards individuality and
privacy. Even habitual nighttime
readers do not necessarily have
to give up.

In an ideal case, the patient can

use a LUXMATE room manage-
ment system to select the light-
ing scene to suit his or her
desires and activities, to adjust
the position of the blinds and
therefore have a direct influence
on room conditions.

Initiating and implementing
new room designs
Comfort like in a hotel
A homely, feel-good atmosphere
in modern hospital or care facili-
ties should make a contribution
to the recovery process. Just
as important is the layout of the
interior of patient rooms, which
mostly have only one or two
beds. This also results in new
requirements on the design of
up-to-date lighting and supply
systems. In terms of shape,
colour and materials used, as
regards design they should form
a unit with the furniture and
colours of the room.

Intermediate care
The need for medical care

Paving the way
for precision
The requirement for glare limitation
depends on the type and angle of
inclination of the display. The more
steeply the display is inclined (e.g.
with laptops), the greater is the re-
quirement for luminaires that work
without producing glare by reflection
(see pages 56 – 57).

Visual adaptation
Errors in the design of a lighting
concept for a hospital may have
serious consequences. This ap-
plies in particular to areas where
patients have to be examined or
undergo some type of interven-
tion. In operating theatres, for
example, the general lighting
must be matched to the high
luminous power of the special
theatre lighting.
Illuminance levels of 2000 lx in
the environment of the operating
table are necessary, to enable
the medical staff to concentrate
and work without getting tired.
Also of benefit here are lighting

Making communication
easier
Exchange of ideas and transfer
of knowledge are crucial for
progress on a small and large
scale. This applies all the more
today, as a significantly increas-
ing number of decisions is made
by teams. Also resulting from
this is a growing demand for
strategic agreements, informal
meetings and training courses.
Using dimmable and separately con-
trollable direct/indirect light compo-
nents, with SPHEROS in multi-func-

Narrow-beam PANOS downlights radiate light over great distances. Radial louvres fulfil higher glare
control requirements.
And in spite of the rise in impor-
tance of the various electronic
media, face to face communi-
cation remains indispensable.
Various tasks fall to lighting in
this dialogue: putting the speak-
er in the limelight, motivating lis-
teners, optimising teamwork.
The balance between horizontal
and vertical illuminance makes a
contribution towards improving
perception and therefore also
aiding communication.
The CANAL lighting system combines fluorescent
and halogen lamps in a formal unit. The mixture of
the two lighting components can be adjusted to
suit the particular activity.

The basis for light and safety
In order to be able to meet
the many specific requirements
in the health and care sector,
an extensive range of innovative

enough. Zumtobel therefore
relies on integrated, system-
orientated solutions with cohe-
sive designs for control, main-
tenance and safety functions.
The optional fitting of our light-
ing systems with digital control
gear permits easy linking into
lighting and room management
systems, and enables integra-
tion into the emergency lighting
system. Every luminaire fitted
with digital control gear (LDE)
is therefore also a potential
