I feel a special connection to healthcare architecture. Modern healthcare architecture is fearless, unlimited, and visionary. It stands at the intersection of emotions and power.

Illness is terrifying, like a storm in a patient's life. It brings confusion, fear, it clouds daily living with an overcast of doubt, limits, darkness, and uncertainty about the future. It affects the patient and everyone around them.

When a patient walks into a health care facility, they come looking for guidance, healing, and hope. They come from a place of darkness, and they seek light.

Architect John Lautner once said that the purpose of architecture is to improve human life. Healthcare architecture is the representation of that purpose.

The purpose of healthcare architecture is to relieve the limits imposed by illness. Illness says to the patient that they are afraid, limited, alone, unsafe. Illness takes away hope. Illness says you cannot do what you wish to do. Healthcare architecture responds by providing support and safety, lifting limits, opening spaces, restoring hope and creating connection.

Modern healthcare architecture brings light and hope into the healing space by creating an environment which is interconnected with the outside world. Gardens, playgrounds, art exhibits, and starry skies live within the modern healing space. The design brings the outside world within the patient room, and makes them an active participant in their own healing process.

The purpose of our photography is for the images to convey this message - the feeling that coming through these doors, walking into these healing spaces, here they will find guidance, healing, and hope.
