The article seems to be describing this as if it's a new idea, but at least in my experience, when you walk through some of the more world class hospitals (The Cleveland Clinic comes to mind), there is clearly a tremendous amount of thought in regards to interior architecture. High ceilings that damp out sound, generally light and soft colors, soft sounds and diverse art installations. It's a real shame that when people discuss architecture we largely focus on the exterior of buildings, but truly the craft is about how people move through and experience a space. This is especially relevant in the current era of large glass office towers, which while on the outside tend to seem rather bland, tend to have a far better interior experience than their external one puts on.
