Children's Health
Design that transforms holistic care for kids
There is universality to life’s journeys, and at the same time, a uniqueness of experience. For a child, going to the hospital is a journey like no other. It is shared with many and at the same time a solitary experience. The best children’s hospitals ameliorate this split by integrating the universal and the unique—location, history, cultures, people—creating an open canvas which invites children and families to paint themselves into the picture.
