"Childbirth to death, both joyful and traumatic moments we spend in hospitals rather than home –

buildings devoid of culture, stripped of aesthetic and seemingly any architectural depth of symbolism.

They are often our entrance and exit into this world, yet at these moments we are most

in need of

relief, meaning and spiritual uplift,

and instead we find ourselves surrounded by the bleak expression of hygiene and efficiency which characterises the modern hospital"

(Jencks, C. and Heathcote, E., 2010, pp54).
