There are under three days in between the first and last photos. With gratitude to Dean Tuomas Auvinen, the international ARCH24 conference was officially opened on June 17 at Dipoli Aalto University Finland. With over 170 delegates from 25 countries, this was the most international ARCH conference yet. The pre-conference tours were to Paimio Sanatorium Foundation, Helsinki Bridge Hospital and Residential Care facilities in Tuusula and Helsinki. On Tuesday, we also visited the New Children's Hospital in Helsinki with expert guidance from sound designer Antti Ikonen and the wonderful Dr. Pekka Lahdenne. Our thrilling keynote speakers Jutta Treviranus and Morten Rask Gregersen kept us glued into our seats and later actively engaging in conversation - with Jutta's 'Fun with Inclusive Design' -session with Arezoo Talebzadeh adding insight. The first ever ARCH Global Roundtable brought bright new voices into our conversation with moderator Jenni Reuter of Aalto University. Kristjana Adalgeirsdottir (originally from Iceland), Humphrey Kalanje (originally from Tanzania) and Tarna Klitzner Landscape Architects (from South Africa) helped us see and understand our global responsibility. There were almost 70 scheduled paper presentations, with a few more at our new 'Talk of the Town' morning sessions. Tye Farrow was there telling us about his wonderful new book 'Constructing Health'. Dr. Outi Turpeinen opened up the world of art at Aalto University for us, and so very generously provided a campus tour for our delegates to see some of the main pieces. Stine Louring Nielsen told us about her work with light in birth environments and Satoko Fujioka showed a community clinic in Japan. Closing day recognition awards went to Dr Chong Keng Hua and Mikiko Terashima (Scientific paper category), Maria Quinn (category: Best Practice papers), Laura Cambra Rufino and Birgit Moser (Poster category), and Elke Miedema PhD (special recognition) and Evan Hayes, Ahmed SABRI and Ann-Kathrin Salich (spirit of ARCH24 awards). Our amazing sponsors included Gerflor, European Health Property Network represented by Jonathan Erskine, Espoon kaupunki - Esbo stad - City of Espoo, Signe och Ane Gyllenbergs stiftelse (Antonia Laszlo graciously attended opening day), UKI Arkkitehdit Oy, Arkkitehtitoimisto Tähti-Set Oy, Saint-Gobain Ecophon AB and Federation of Finnish Learned Societies - we cannot thank you enough ���️ . None of this would have been possible without my super co-chair and collaborator Ira Verma. She chaired the scientific committee with grace, calmness and competence. Graphic design and conference assistance was very capably provided by Rute Morais Peixoto, and our peerless work exchange students Brayden Tang, Chengcheng Peng, Agnes Weckström and Sofia J. seemed able to be in three places at the same time - and take photos to boot. That's it! We are absolutely exhausted and absolutely stoked by what we created. Happy Midsummer everyone! Thank you so much.

#Arch24 What an incredible experience we had at the 6th International Conference on Architecture, Research, Care, and Health (Arch24). As a proud Sponsor, Gerflor received the prestigious “Exemplary Connection with the Spirit of the Conference” Award. Our joyful attitude and paper delivery resonated with the Aalto Community, contributing to the conference’s vibrant social atmosphere. ✨ A few months before the conference, we submitted an abstract that was thoughtfully selected. Our research aimed to explore the practical application of science in Healthcare design. We delved into the effects of material and color choices on well-being, particularly in the context of Dementia care. Thanks to Ann-Kathrin Salich for her dedication and contribution building such an interesting paper. 💡 During the congress, we had the privilege of sharing our insights and expertise with a presentation titled “Need to go Beyond Evidence? Designing for Dementia - Effects of Material & Colour on Well-being” This presentation discussed evidence-based approaches to creating supportive environments for individuals with Dementia. The diverging positions were eloquently presented by Ann-Kathrin Salich and Ahmed SABRI. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the committee of Aalto University for providing us with this invaluable platform for open dialogue. The exchange of knowledge and ideas was truly enriching. As we reflect on the conference, let’s remain committed to contributing to a better Healthcare environment. Together, we can create spaces that enhance well-being, comfort, and quality of life for everyone. 💙 Learn more about the event here - ARCH24 – Effects of Design on Health and Wellbeing - https://arch24.aalto.fi/ #HealthcareDesign #WellBeing #Innovation #Research #GerflorHealthcare #Dementia #Arch24 #WeAreTheExperts

🌟#EHD2024 For the third consecutive year, Gerflor Healthcare had the privilege of participating and sponsoring the European Healthcare Design Congress held at the prestigious Royal College of Physicians . As we reflect on the rich knowledge and experiences shared during this remarkable event, here are the main highlights that resonated with us: 👾 AI and digital technologies play a crucial role in shaping current healthcare systems and policies. 👵 As the population ages, healthcare systems must adapt to meet evolving needs effectively. 🧘♂️ Paying attention to everyday life practices, including architectural details in healthcare facilities, is essential for promoting mental health and well-being across all age groups. 🎨 Art and architectural designs go hand in hand, enhancing each other’s impact within healthcare spaces. Special thanks to SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange for organizing this outstanding congress, and heartfelt gratitude to the Royal College of Physicians for hosting us. Our dedicated team Chloe Harding, Brontie Bennett, Chris Pursey, Andy Gordon, Ahmed SABRI & Eric BERTEAU made this experience even more enriching. Stay tuned for our next steps as we continue our journey toward impactful healthcare solutions! 😉👏
