The study used a variety of methodologies to collect empirical data. This included an extensive literature survey and research review, one‐to‐one patient interviews, a large questionnaire survey, patients’ picture stories, a novice‐expert technique and a series of futures conferences. By these methods, the study assessed how stakeholders perceived the health‐care environment, including buildings, internal and external areas, and landscape and aesthetic considerations.
