DBE30004 Branded Environment Capstone Project 3B: Design Studio Final Outcome | Bernadette Krull
DESIGN ETHOS Continual Growth & Empowerment: I continually seek out opportunities for learning and growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself to push further. Learning is a continual process and when its enjoyable, its more likely to be remembered. I enjoy creating designs that have a purpose. Providing a sense of empowerment through learning. Storytelling: I enjoy being able to tell a story through design. Taking an idea and transforming that idea into a scenario, Then taking that scenario further by integrating an educational or thought provoking factor within the design. Colour: I have an eye for colour and being able to create harmony or interest with colour. Using this within design, can strengthen a design and evoke an emotional response.

LEARNING FROM MUSEUMS:
DESIGN PROJECT
EDUCATIONAL POP-UP INSTALLATION How can utilising interactive & immersive museum techniques increase health and wellbeing within the institutional sector?
Create an Educational Pop-Up Instillation, by utilising immersive and interactive design techniques, to help increase public awareness around Heath & Wellbeing issues faced by children today. Top 10 health problems children face today:
1 5
Physical Health & Excessive screen time
Abuse in both Mental & Physical forms.
10 Abuse, physical or mental, is related to emotions. Being able to recognise and managing emotions, is a vital aspect within Mental Health. By providing a fun, welcoming and safe environment, with access to medical professionals, children have the opportunity to recognise and work through the challenges they face, early on in their life.
Figure 1.1: Interactive & Immersive techniques
There are many programmes out there that are aimed at helping these issues, but most people don’t know where to look or feel uncomfortable approaching them. Creating an informal, fun environment, through an interactive and immersive pop-up, helps promote these programmes, with a less intimidating first encounter. Pop-up can align with Mental Health Week (5th-11th Oct 2019).

RESEARCH & PROCESS WORK
LEARNING FROM MUSEUMS: HOW CAN UTILISING INTERACTIVE & IMMERSIVE MUSEUM TECHNIQUES INCREASE HEALTH AND WELLBEING WITHIN THE INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR?
EXCERPT Institutional sectors like Hospitals, Health care and Rehabilitation Centres are usually sterile, uninspiring spaces, with minimal fragments of colour, that create feelings of anxiety and stress, which can often lead to depression. Utilising interactive and immersive techniques, used by museums, in such heavily populated spaces will help create a more inviting and positive environment, increasing both mental and physical health. Traditionally, museums have focused on the education of history and culture. Over time, reinvention and discovery has extended that focus to the individual and societal benefits a museum can have on health and wellbeing. Interactive and immersive techniques show that when design is focused on an individual or specific group, the relationships formed are stronger and more impactual; creating a sense of ownership and empowerment. The individual and social awareness is stronger, as you are more likely to pay attention to the lessons being taught, when you are enjoying yourself or are immersed in a positive environment.
27
“We often hear, that to discover something new, we must study the old. To invent the future, we must understand the past. Tradition cannot be possessed, it must be reinvented and rediscovered by each generation” (TEDx Talks, 2013) Institutional sectors like Hospitals, Health care and Rehabilitation Centres are usually sterile, uninspiring spaces, with minimal fragments of colour, that create feelings of anxiety and stress, which can often lead to depression. Utilising interactive and immersive techniques, used by museums, in such heavily populated spaces will help create a more inviting and positive environment, increasing both mental and physical health.
If we look at the meaning of Health, it can be defined as a combination of physical and mental health. Functioning well and feeling good, make up the two elements of Wellbeing. Functioning well comes from experiencing positive relationships and by having a sense of purpose and control over our lives. Feeling good comes from experiencing positive emotions. Figure 1.1 shows how these factors are inter-connected.
How can utilising interactive and immersive museum techniques increase health and wellbeing within the institutional sector?
Museums. Health & Wellbeing
To effectively answer this question, we need to look at two main areas. Firstly, what is health and wellbeing and Secondly; How have museums came to the conclusion that interaction and immersion are effective design techniques.
According to a study conducted by Jennifer Binnie, viewing art in a Museum has a positive impact upon reducing anxiety and in turn, improving wellbeing. It wasn’t conclusive if the positive impact came from viewing the artwork alone or if it was the Museum environment or if both factors together contributed towards this conclusion. Figure 1.2 shows the resulting emotions felt by participants pre and post museum sessions, ranked on a scale of 1-5. 5 being a more positive emotion.
FIGURE 3.3: Museums originally showcasing private collections. (Museums Victoria, 2018)
Traditionally, museums have focused on the education of history and culture. Today, reinvention and discovery has extended that focus to the individual and societal benefits a museum can have on health and wellbeing, by utilising interactive and immersive techniques. These techniques can be seen through the changes Museums have had to make in order to remain relevant in this developing world. Focusing the exhibitions and/ or instillations on a specific group of individuals or social concern within the community, “contributing to positive wellbeing and resilience by helping people to make sense of the world and their place within it.” (Dodd & Jones, 2014). When a design tries to appeal to every audience, it appeals to no audience. Meaning that if it’s too broad, the individual is unable to create a proper immersive, emotional connection with the content. Within institutional sectors like Hospitals, Health care and Rehabilitation Centres, funding and grants are used for areas like research, maintenance, supplies and equipment. Design is seen less as a priority and more of something that can be reviewed if there are additional funds available. The challenge lies within changing that mindset and showing that these design techniques play a vital role in increasing mental and physical wellbeing
FIGURE 3.1 (Left): Showing the interaction between good functioning, Mental Capital & Wellbeing (Dodd & Jones, 2014) FIGURE 3.2 (Above): Difference in emotions Pre & Post sessions (Dodd & Jones, 2014)

Explored in this report, are three case studies, of Institutional sectors, showing successful implementation of interactive and immersive museum techniques. The first case study looks at a Children’s Hospital, showcasing these techniques by designing for a specific audience. Seeing the world through the eyes of a child. The second case study looks at a Healthcare Centre for overweight children. Immersing the children within the treatment plan by using interactive games and exercises. The third case study looks at a rehabilitation centre, using colour, texture and pattern to create an immersive environment.
FURTHER IMPLEMENTATIONS By creating a temporary ‘pop-up’ that works in Harmony with the existing interior design, it allow patients to place a piece of their identity, within the space. Reinforcing those feelings of engagement, discovery and comfort, further reducing apprehension and anxiety. It also provides opportunities for awareness and social responsibility.
CASE STUDY 1:
PERTH CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL Nedlands, Perth. WA by JCY Architects & Urban designers, Cox Architecture, & Billard Leece Partnership with HKS Inc.
“A hospital experience can be frighting or it can be fascinating.” (McDonald, 2019)
Can a hospital truly be fascinating to a child? If we look at what fascinates a child within a museum setting, colour, sculptural objects and graphic elements allow them to learn and explore. Creating an environment where they feel comfortable and engaged.
“Why do museums matter? Because they dissipate ignorance about other’s. Because they tolerate and promote curiosity about the foreign. Because they excite curiosity about what we are not.” (TEDx Talks, 2016) For the most part, children fear what they don’t understand. Using the techniques displayed by museums, from this quote, allows that ignorance and fear to turn into understanding and tolerance, through education and curiosity. The main driving force around the re-design of Perth Children’s Hospital, was putting more of a focus on the audience that uses the space. Realising that children are not ‘mini adults’ and have different perspectives on how they see the world. Striving to create that comfortable, engaging environment, by providing distractions, to reduce anxiety, through colour, sculptural objects and graphic elements. “There’s an incredible sense of play throughout the public and clinical zones,
FIGURE 4.1 (Left): D esigning for a specific target audience. Child Height Design (McDonald, 2019) FIGURE 4.2 (Below): Quiet Library space, creating a relaxing retreat Area (McDonald, 2019)
so that siblings and friends can also enjoy the hospital experience.” (McDonald, 2019) Museums show each individual that they have a place and purpose within society. When creating an exhibition for a targeted audience, techniques like “talking and listening, researching and watching, and a bit of creativity and imagination,” (McDonald, 2019) are needed to successfully create that sense of purpose and meaning within a society. Allowing the viewer to see that their needs and interests have been taken in consideration. Those techniques were used to help see life through the eyes of a child, so that they are comfortable enough with the Hospital environment, to feel that sense of play and have an enjoyable experience with their family and friends. It is said that ‘the power of positive thinking’ can increase resilience. Although it’s not medically proven, a person that is having fun has a more positive, relaxed demeanour, increasing the chances for better recovery rates.
29
FURTHER IMPLEMENTATIONS The design has been executed well, covering a range of social interactive and immersive factors. A possible further implementation could be allowing the children to create structures/ games, promoting exercise that can be integrated into their treatment plan. Structures that can be made, using colour, pattern or sculptural elements.
CASE STUDY 2:
COACH Centre for Overweight Adolescent Children’s Healthcare Maastricht, province of Limburg, The Netherlands by Tinker Imagineers
”In the interactive environment, children feel at home & tend to start exploring. They learn about a healthy lifestyle without any pressure.” (Lomholt, 2018) COACH is a healthcare centre that’s been designed for overweight children. Encouraging movement and play through interactive and stimulating “games that require stretching, climbing, swinging, riding, moving, and working together.” (Lomholt, 2018)
The overall design, moves away from the usual, sterile hospital setting, but at the same time, doesn’t looking too sporty. By integrating museum technique through interaction and engagement, a playful environment has been successfully created. Making health and wellbeing a positive experience. “The urge for activity should be supported with stimulating interactive architecture.” (Lomholt, 2018). This healthcare centre is a temporary instillation, showcasing good pop-up design. Not just through deign, but in purpose as well. Mixing art and healthcare in one, to create a playful, memorable and inviting environment, that leaves a lasting impression. Increasing individual and community health and wellbeing. The finishes within the design add to that temporary nature, through raw the use of raw materials and exposed ceilings. “We came up with a set-up that matches the mission of COACH to empower children and young people: ‘finding their greatness’.” (Lomholt, 2018)
30
FIGURE 5.1 (Left): C hanging the idea of the usual waiting room, into a playful environment (Lomholt, 2018) FIGURE 5.2 (Right): Interactive Wall, Encouraging Movement (Lomholt, 2018)
The three main changes that museums have made, to remain relevant, are integrated well in this design. Moving away from being in a hospital setting, physically, helps remove the mental connection of being overweight with illness and hospitals. A change in the way the children interact with the space, by creating that sense of play and allowing the children to see that exercise and being active can be fun. Associating the healthcare sector with a positive mindset, increasing the want to become and stay healthy. It also allows the child to feel comfortable enough to ask for mental or physical health when needed. The integration of bringing individual and social responsibilities awareness to the space is done through passive and active design techniques. The success of the design allows the ‘treatment’ to start before their scheduled appointment. The waiting room is part of the treatment plan. Resulting in awareness and responsibility being brought to the individual and indirectly to the community, through positive ‘word of mouth’ feedback and reviews.
FURTHER IMPLEMENTATIONS Pushing the design past the focused Lab’s and throughout the building, will create an immersive and relaxing environment for the patients. Allowing the treatment process to continue after their Lab sessions, without the added pressure.
CASE STUDY 3:
SHAKE UP, SHAKE DOWN Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Chicago by HDR & Gensler, Clive WilsonArchitects & EGG Office.
“It’s important for patient healing to impart optimism,” (Cohen, 2018) The AbilityLab is a rehabilitation centre where research scientists, therapists and physicians work together with individuals suffering from complex and severe conditions. Conditions like amputations, spinal cord injuries and cancer. High ceilings and full length windows, enhancing an indoor/ outdoor flow. “A rare connection to an outside world from which the chronically ill are so often made to feel cut off.” (Volner, 2019) “Instead of serving as a container for tools and equipment, Interiors can become tools themselves.” (Ingram, 2018) Design has been used to enhance the treatment given, Blurring the lines between a place of healing and innovation. Aimed at enhancing the users experience. Within the building are five ability labs, aptly named according to their treatment focus. “Arms and Hands, Legs and Walking, Strength and Endurance, Think and Speak, Pediatrics.” (Cohen, 2018) High ceilings and staircases are used as part of the treatment process. Tucking lifts out of sight, with decorative wayfinding and floor markers to track progress, helping to promote movement and recovery.
FIGURE 6.1: Pediatrics Lab (Cohen, 2018) FIGURE 6.2: Treatment through design (“AbilityLab Home”, 2019) “The project doesn’t just support recovery, it actually aids it. Perhaps the most explicit example is in the Strength + Endurance Lab, where a staircase serves as both a pathway and a rehabilitation tool.” (Ingram, 2018) Bold colours and patterns are used in the Pediatrics lab, bringing a sense of energy and movement to the room, encouraging children to do the same. In contrast to that of the Think + Speak Lab, where subdued, calming colours, textures and graphics are used to assist the recovery of traumatic brain injuries. The colours, graphics and design style used, creates a unique identity within and around the building. Allowing a positive, immersive environment for the patients. Positivity is an important factor in wellbeing, so being surrounded by design that is encouraging and empowering, is a great example of museum techniques in action.
31
LEARNING FROM MUSEUMS: HOW CAN UTILISING INTERACTIVE & IMMERSIVE MUSEUM TECHNIQUES INCREASE HEALTH AND WELLBEING WITHIN THE INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR?
CONCLUSION Museums have shown, that interactive and immersive design plays an important role in increasing health and wellbeing. Successfully implementing these museum techniques within the institutional sector, allows those positive benefits to extend further than that of a museum. The three case studies explored in this report, have shown that this can be successfully achieved and that there are further ways in which these museum techniques can be implemented, explored and reinvented. Interactive and immersive techniques show that when design is focused on an individual or specific group, the relationships formed are stronger and more impactual; creating a sense of ownership and empowerment. The individual and social awareness is stronger, as you are more likely to pay attention to the lessons being taught, when you are enjoying yourself or are immersed in a positive environment. Proving that utilising interactive and immersive museum techniques, increase health and wellbeing within the institutional sector.

EMOTIONS
SEASONS
We need to prioritise our emotional health. It’s time we closed the gap between our physiological & physical health. Make them more equal.
We all know how to look after/ maintain our Physical health, but what do we know about maintaining our physiological/ Mental Health.
Seasons do play a part in how we feel. Seasonal affected disorders are a real thing; affecting your mood, energy levels, social interactions and much
more. Learning about why and how seasons have this affect on us, helps us better prepare to work though them and increase health and wellbeing.
HAPPY There is always a reason to smile. Find it. When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine SUMMER

WINTER
BORED Stuck inside because of the rain and cold, day after day, can become very boring!
Figure 10.2: Mental Health
Our minds and our feelings are not the trustworthy friends we thought they were. They’re more like a really moody friend who can be totally supportive one minute and really unpleasant the next. Our mind is hard to charge once we become convinced. You need to build emotional resilience.
Figure 10.3: Mood Changes
ANGRY Anger doesn’t solve anything solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything
SAD A lack of sunshine and warmth can bring a case of “the winter blues”.
You have to fight feelings of helplessness & gain control over the situations and break this kind of negative cycle before it begins. Emotional Health leads to feeling better about yourself, feeling empowered, happier & more fulfilled
AUTUMN
BRAVE The leaves of Autumn are changing, so be brave and make a change, for the better. Just because it’s hard, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. You can do it. SCARED It’s okay to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.
SHY Be patient with yourself. All flowers blossom at different times.
