For years, hospitals have emphasized function over form. Cost considerations and staff work flow influenced design more than patients’ needs did, so going to the hospital became a stressful experience, rather than a healing one. Contemporary design, however, has gotten creative. Facilities like the Huntsman Cancer Hospital in Utah, and the St. Luke’s Magic Valley Regional Medical Center in Idaho use the existing landscape to cut costs, improve patient wayfinding, and perhaps most importantly, provides patients with a sense of hope.
