excellect resource and illustration

This book has great illustration on child-friendly design in hospitals. It shows various examples in designing different parts of hospitals by using colorful images, illustrating design on ceiling, corridors, windows, doors, playroom, seating/waiting areas, reception counters, walls in wards, etc. I think it is very useful for architects and interior designers to think about the needs of children users in hospitals, clinics, and peasdatric wards; as those sick children may need to stay in such environment for long times. So it is our job to provide warm and home-like environment to them instead of standard hospital design with white walls. This book is just excellect resource to architects, interior designers and even nurses and doctors who work together to enlighten the life of those sick children!
