Abstract
The World Health Organization defines a person’s state of health not only as being free from illness, but also as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It also means focusing on the non-material needs of patients and their interaction with the environment, As described by architect Flavio Albanese, the meaning of “wellness” is the balance between the mind-body-spirit. The characteristics of the environment can create hope and positivity and speed up the healing process.
