| Abstract | Nature provides important design solutions whether in architecture or other sciences and arts. Biophilia is an innate human desire to be connected to nature and biophilic architecture is bringing nature to indoor environments. The positive effects of biophilia are especially interesting in healthcare facilities due to extreme stress elements in those spaces. The architecture of hospitals can affect the health and well-being of patients and staff. Therefore, the main purpose of the present research is to understand the relationship between a patient's health and their physical environment, which specifically addresses using natural light as a biophilic technique in the patients' rooms. Most patients' restrooms were built without windows and depend on artificial lighting. This paper, impacts of daylight is investigated through a detailed questionnaire which handed to 155 patients of Shorsh Hospital randomly of both gender aged between (18-40 years old), they were asked to indicate their opinions about lighting conditions in their rooms and its impacts on their health and recovery. According to the findings, using the biophilic technique (natural light) specifically inside hospital rooms support physical and psychological wellbeing and accelerates the healing of the patient. Therefore, architects and designers should try to bring daylight into hospitals to upgrade the qualities of these environments skillfully. |
