Evaluating the built environment in a comprehensive manner is both challenging and topical. The environment influences us in a multitude of ways. We feel, hear, see, smell, and even taste the environment that surrounds us. Care environments, in particular, are complicated and their effects on users difficult to estimate. However, the aesthetics of care environments carry huge potential to induce wellbeing, enhance quality of life and, thereby, affect the healing and rehabilitation of patients and residents. This book applies experimental Q methodology – a qualitative method for systematically analysing human subjectivity – in search of a new way to evaluate care environments.
