Hospitals are like an organism designed for diagnosis, treatment, and service purposes, intended for short or long term use, working differently like every other organ in our body and living 24/7. In addition to having many different needs, this organism needs a well-conceived light to live smoothly.
The interior design of the hospital, created by Zoom TPU, has a different architecture, definition, and sense that jibe with function. Just as architectural definitions change in ceilings, walls, and furniture, the light design varies according to need. In the lighting design planned by Nergiz Arifoğlu LightStyle; aimed to offer a high level of satisfaction, a comfortable and peaceful environment to all users psychologically with different light scenarios in every unit at all hours of the day and night. The goal in the light design of the project is primarily to create a hospital environment that is far from the usual feeling of healthcare for patients and all other users & a sense of reassuring service that a high level of comfort, peace, and hospitality is offered to solve the problem. The message tried to be created with light, is in integrity from the entrance of the hospital to the waiting areas, the examination rooms to the patient rooms, the corridors to all different functions, even from the road to the front lighting.
While designing a functional light for the illumination of all places in the hospital, technical requirements by the standard as well as visual and psychological perception management were prioritized in the choice of light sources. Light is integrated aesthetically with architectural details in all units of the hospital. LED light sources with high energy-saving and long-lasting, which can sustain the operational operation successfully, have high glare control and color display index, were included in the project.
