Zumtobel Light Talks: Episode 16 „Healing Architecture“
In the 16th episode of the Zumtobel Group podcast ‘Light Talks’, Prof. Christine Nickl-Weller and Magnus Nickl of Nickl & Partner join Jürgen Häcker, Architectural Lighting Consultant at the Zumtobel Group, to discuss the importance of Healing Architecture in creating a built environment that promotes health and well-being. The conversation focuses on how architecture can support people’s well-being and recovery, and the role that light plays in this process.
Christine Nickl-Weller draws on her many years of experience in designing healthcare, research and educational buildings, offering insights into the development of Healing Architecture in Europe. Magnus Nickl broadens the perspective to the urban scale, demonstrating that promoting health begins with the planning of our cities and neighbourhoods. The discussion also explores how the principles of healing architecture can be reconciled with economic constraints, and how both daylight and artificial light can contribute to orientation, well-being and a healthy circadian rhythm.
