Parrot Murals and Feather Floors: Co-designing playful wayfinding in the Queensland Children’s Hospital
摘要
This chapter describes a collaborative project to improve the way that sick children and their families could find the various entertainment facilities located on Level 6 of the Queensland Children’s Hospital—Starlight Express Room, Kidzone, and Radio Lollipop studio. Wayfinding is an important part of the interior design considerations for hospitals, and this project paired designers and artists with hospital administrators and facilities management team members to create a playful way for each of the entertainment facilities to be easily found, while also making navigating the entire floor stress-free, including identifying the lifts, which are the main access point for the floor.
