Hauner Children's Hospital: Design for recovery

It all started in the middle of the pandemic, when design students from the Munich campus exchanged ideas for the first time as part of a practical project with the child-life specialists at Dr. Hauner Children’s Hospital.

They learned how the daily routine in the hospital and the hospital environment can stress sick children and their families.

This is where the student team from Macromedia came in.

Under the direction of Prof. Kristina Kern, the students developed concepts to positively change this experience and to make it easier for the children to settle into the hospital environment.

Some of the concepts could now actually be implemented. One element, is the wall design by Lea Molnar and Julia Haas, who already alumni of the Macromedia University.
