A proposal for improvement for cancer centres, based on Katherine Kolcaba's comfort theory, which is based on the idea that satisfying the needs for relief, tranquillity and transcendence strengthens people.
Spaces in cancer centres can influence the mood of patients, so it is important that they are welcoming and calm. This is how we put into practice neuroarchitecture, which is an emerging discipline that analyses how the built environment affects our brain, emotions and behaviour. It is based on principles of neuroscience to design spaces that promote well-being, creativity and productivity. The environment has been designed to feel as close to nature as possible, starting with increasing organic forms in the architecture, adding natural materials, allowing as much sunlight as possible and strategically placing green areas within the spaces to create natural views and contact with nature at any point in the centre.
