Abstract

The positive stimuli created by the landscape have a notorious psychological and emotional influence on the patients' welfare their stay at the hospital. Constant and attentive observation of the views produces an interaction between the patient and the landscape, it generates interest and takes away negative thoughts about illness. This research was to study the influence of wi ndows' des ign on the generation ofthose stimuli, identifying and defin ing its architectonical elements' characteristics that may have an effect on the reduction of stress. To do so, we analyse the sanitary spaces where the patients spend mostoftheirtime: the rooms. The case study method was used and we selected two from the city of A Coruña: The Maritime Hospital ofOza and the CHUAC, because they are both facing the sea and similar sceneries can be perceived from them. We use a qualitive content analysis based on a deductive approach, letting concepts to emerge inductively.
