“…Some studies have focused on specific aspects of architecture such as the design of doors (Matsubara & Nagamachi, 1997a) and kitchens (Matsubara & Nagamachi, 1997b), but there are very few studies on a broader truly architectural or urban scale. Such studies include applications to the design of facades (Sendai, 2011), dwellings (Llinares & Page, 2007; Nagamachi, 1998; Nomoto, Omura, Awada, Mamura, & Agamachi, 1995), urban environments (Kinoshita, Cooper, Hoshino, & Kamei, 2006; Llinares & Page, 2008), and the identification of differences in perception between architects and nonarchitects (Llinares, Montañana, & Navarro, 2011; Montañana, Llinares, & Navarro, 2013); although scanty, these studies show that the method is valid for determining design parameters with a positive influence on user emotions toward architecture and urban surroundings. However, to date, Kansei engineering has not been applied to healthcare spaces or neonatal wards in particular.…”
