Through researching for my dissertation I came across a healing garden, 'Crown Sky Garden' which I felt to be the future of healing gardens through its holistic approach.
Mikyoung Kim Design;
"This regenerative project offers a new paradigm for healthcare design that integrates healing gardens as part of the health care regiment within these institutional environments."
The healing garden is catered for children but is not age-specific as it is accessible to childrne with mobility requirements and parents to interact with it too. The use of lighting and sensory materials such as timber is crucial to the success of the design. As a sky scraper hospital it utilizes roof top space and creates a sanctuary for children to get away from their negative experiences in the hospital and replace it with feelings of restoration, revitalisation and form positive schemas with the hospital instead.
