Infusion Therapy Zone: A Seat for Four Hours

Patients undergoing chemotherapy and long-term infusions often sit for several hours at a time, and frequently come alone. The design should simultaneously offer two possibilities: for those who want solitude, positions facing the window, with their back to the corridor, and the option to draw curtains; for those who want company, seats that can be arranged in small groups, allowing them to see each other. Each seat needs its own light, power outlet, a surface for drinks and books, and a chair for a companion. Reclining chairs should be self-adjustable without needing assistance. There should be something to look at outside the window. Shot in natural daylight, showing the diversity of seating, layers of privacy, and the green view outside the window simultaneously. Avoid: seats arranged in a row facing the corridor, sharing a single overhead light, no companion seating, no window or a wall outside the window.

化療與長時間輸注的病人一次要坐好幾個小時,而且經常獨自前來。設計上要同時提供兩種可能:想獨處的人有面向窗、背對走道、可以拉上簾幕的位置;想有人陪的人有可以圍成小群、看得見彼此的座位。每個座位需要自己的燈、插座、可放飲料與書的檯面、以及一張陪伴者的椅子。躺椅要能自己調整角度而不必求助。窗外要有東西可看。日間自然光下拍攝,座位的多樣、私密的層次與窗外的綠同時可見。避免:座位排成一列面對走道、共用一盞頂燈、沒有陪伴者的位置、無窗或窗外是牆。
