Abstract

Healthcare environments require special design measures to ensure that the right atmosphere is effective for treatment and stress relief in therapeutic facilities. In this context, the effect of color and light on the human mind and body has been demonstrated in various ways. Because of the great importance of health centers as environments related to the health of the human mind and body, attention to the requirements of suitable design plays an important role, and one of these requirements is the use of color and light. The proper use of color and light can lead to better healthcare in hospitals. The research method is based on library studies on the theoretical basis of the research and the data collection is descriptive research. First, the concept of color and light is discussed, then the effects of these two on physical and mental diseases and their use in therapeutic spaces are studied. Finally, the article turns to the presentation of the conceptual model and design solutions.
