We have talked a lot about what it takes to create Healing-Focused Environments for Hospitals and medical centers and how these environments can positively impact the recovery of patients and the performance of medical staff. Let’s face it – everything we can do to help the sick and injured to heal faster and recover from procedures benefits us all in the long run…especially if that person is a family member or friend.

Generally speaking, the keys to creating healing-focused environments are:

• Natural light
• Works of Art
• Soothing or Stimulating Color Schemes (depending on the area)
• Intuitive, Easy to Follow Wayfinding
• “At Home” or “On Vacation” inspired architectural design

3form, the material supplier that creates beautiful architectural panels using a wide range of natural materials and graphic patterns, has placed the spotlight on a dental clinic in Germany and shown how integrating 3form panels can turn a sterile, nerve-wracking office into a serene, inviting space. As you can see, by using the panels for architectural wall panels, the clinic has met at least three of the keys for healing environments: works of art, soothing color scheme, and “on vacation” inspired surroundings.

ASI has also created numerous custom interior signage and wayfinding solutions for healing-focused environments, several of which use 3form materials. In addition, ASI has a signage line called Terra which allows architects and designers to develop ADA signs and wayfinding signs using the most popular 3form materials on the market today.

In addition to ADA and custom interior wayfinding signage, ASI has used 3form materials to create beautiful donor recognition solutions for hospitals.
