In recent years, the design of hospitals as an integrated part of the healing process of patients has received extensive attention from architects.
Hospitals are characterized by the complexity of functional relationships between their different components. Architects always focus on fulfilling these functional requirements giving a slight attention to the entire form of the hospital and its parts.
Nowadays a new trend towards using the shape power of pyramids in meditation is spreading as an alternative way of therapy for some diseases.
Pyramids have proved to have unique energetic properties that include medical benefits for various types of illness. They can be regarded as natural healing machines. This fact urges us as architects to give much attention to the form of hospitals. An attention towards a shift from the traditional cubic, rectangular or even circular forms to triangular or specifically the pyramid form is required.
If conditions of measurement, placement, alignment and material are well considered when constructing a pyramid, it will allow for a heighted energy field which can positively affect our public health , aid in healing and will create a beneficial environment for our body to function properly.
This paper will give novel ideas for hospital designs based on the pyramid form in order to incorporate the hospital form as an influencing parameter in aiding meditation. Architecture will then contribute in revolutionizing health care by producing natural healing hospitals.
