While urban healthcare facilities are challenged by the density of surrounding architecture there remains a way to bring the outside in. The research conducted by Robert Ulrich of Texas A&M University indicated that green space incorporations, such as access to living roofs, floor to ceiling windows, and living green walls were just a few examples of installations that enabled surgery patients to "heal faster, need less pain medication and have fewer complications than those who faced a brick wall" (Margot Kim with KFSN). In addition to these patient improvements, living architecture and its corresponding natural systems emits a slew of other benefits including an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, noise/sound insulation, clean air quality, and impressive energy cost savings for hospitals!
