The master’s thesis "In a White Room with Piranhas" addresses challenges in healthcare color choices, often driven by resistance to change and lack of evidence.

It explores over 200 landscapes to translate natural atmospheres into material, light, and color, aiming to strengthen biophilic design’s impact on well-being.

Experiments with various materials were analyzed through simulations and realistic test rooms.

The methodology of the work is based on an analysis of landscape images, which are systematically sorted and examined in a colour wheel. Colour groups can be calibrated differently, e.g. sky, forest and mountain landscapes and many more.
