Colors, Light and Births - Interview with Stine Louring

Not all technology in hospitals is medical equipment or part of clinical treatment. This is something I discuss with Stine Louring. She is an anthropologist and holds a PhD in lighting design – a unique combination that can teach the rest of us more about healing architecture and the role light and its colors play.<br/><br/>This interview is part of the report 'Conscious choices, faith and knowledge in white enviroments' exploring how art and nature can be included as conscious choices in hospital environments: in architecture, interior design, visual art, views, daylight, and nature-based interventions both indoors and outdoors. The report is written for those who stay in hospitals as patients, relatives, and staff, as well as for those who plan, build, finance, decorate, and operate hospitals.

Abstract

Not all technology in hospitals is medical equipment or part of clinical treatment. This is something I discuss with Stine Louring. She is an anthropologist and holds a PhD in lighting design – a unique combination that can teach the rest of us more about healing architecture and the role light and its colors play.<br/><br/>This interview is part of the report 'Conscious choices, faith and knowledge in white enviroments' exploring how art and nature can be included as conscious choices in hospital environments: in architecture, interior design, visual art, views, daylight, and nature-based interventions both indoors and outdoors. The report is written for those who stay in hospitals as patients, relatives, and staff, as well as for those who plan, build, finance, decorate, and operate hospitals.
