Sensitive listening: a study on the relationship between people and health environments

This article presents results of studies on the relationship between people and health environments. It explicits what is said about the psychophysical aspects of those ambiances by directors and legislators by examining the laws and norms linked to the theme. On the other hand, client's perspectives are contemplated by listening to their voices in the workshop "Environment, Creativity and Joy", applied at Fiocruz's research laboratories. The results are data proceeding from workshop participants' perceptions on their work environments, gathered by testimonies and drawings. Such results demonstrate that the workshop can be an instrument of sensitive listening for designers and architects involved in projects involving construction and renovation of health ambiances.
