Abstract:
"The aim of this thesis is to explore the aspects of interior design that can communicate and trigger an attitude of trust in the healthcare environment. The minorities are identified with different skin colors, foreign languages, and diverse cultural backgrounds in American society. These differences affect their inclusion in neighborhoods, cities, and especially in receiving care in the medical environment. There are significant needs to design and plan for diversity and inclusion in a built environment. These problems continue to be sustained due to lack of inclusion and understanding. Discrimination, miscommunication, and detrimental misunderstanding are connected and are becoming the biggest problem in the American way of life. The coronavirus pandemic has quickly illustrated how vulnerable minority populations are. This study has done more in-dept social research on the basis of theories, and built a bridge between social issues, interior design space, and human emotion of trust through research methods and theoretical background. The aspects of interior design that can communicate and trigger an attitude of trust in the healthcare environment. Thus, a Pandemic Center and Pharmacy, located in Houston, Texas, for the crisis of trust in improving the American medical system through interior design in a pandemic environment is proposed." --Abstract
