Author : Prerna S and Dr. Nischay N Gowda

Abstract

This paper delves into the application of Vaastu principles in hospital design, aiming to elucidate its potential impact on the well-being of patients, staff, and overall operational efficiency. Vaastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural tradition, emphasizes the harmonious alignment of physical spaces with natural elements and cosmic energies to promote health and prosperity. Through a comprehensive review of the literature and case studies, this study examines how incorporating Vaastu principles in hospital architecture can optimize patient recovery rates, enhance staff productivity, and foster a conducive healing environment. By exploring the intersection of traditional wisdom and modern healthcare infrastructure, this research offers insights into the holistic approach toward hospital design and management, healthcare administration, and patient care outcomes. The research delves into the impact of color psychology according to Vaastu, placement of beds in the proper direction for better and faster recovery, working and placement of operation theaters, consultation rooms, emergency wards, wards and ICUs, location of Hospitals according to Vastu, proper ventilation for hospitals, placement of storage room. Furthermore, it investigates the significance of interactive features, age-appropriate design considerations, and sensory stimuli in crafting spaces that resonate with the unique developmental needs of children. The outcomes of this research are envisioned to provide architects, interior designers, and healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced interplay between design and psychology in pediatric clinics. Ultimately, the research seeks to contribute to the evolving dialogue surrounding the transformative potential of interior design in pediatric healthcare settings.
