Abstrakt: In this paper we reflect on and discuss the curriculum design, results and impact of a new undergraduate design studio class project that introduced students to design for health and wellbeing in a real-world context. Through the Integrated Studio class project, 11 undergraduate final year design students from a range of traditional design disciplines worked as a single team with a large city hospital. Their brief was to rethink the future of a new healthcare facility being built on the hospital campus. The project focussed on how design could be used to facilitate more meaningful 'health and wellbeing spaces'. This was framed as an opportunity to reimagine the future of care environments. By working collaboratively with key stakeholders, creative processes were used to better understand the needs of users and to challenge existing thinking around what a healthcare facility might look and feel like. Much like a healthcare journey, the design process was a rollercoaster of uncertainty and unknowns. In this paper we reflect on the experiences of the student group. The outcomes of this project show the value of such initiatives to generate new possibilities for healthcare, and to help healthcare organizations think differently about what might be possible.
