We are glad to announce that the FRACTAL CHAPEL at the University Hospital Graz has been nominated for the Healing Architecture Awards, recognizing its contribution to healing-centered design and its innovative synthesis of space, and human perception.
The award honors outstanding architecture and interior architecture in the healthcare sector, celebrating projects that promote well-being and set new standards through healing spatial concepts. The nomination highlights the Fractal Chapel as a pioneering example of evidence-based, atmospheric design.⁠

The chapel’s biophilic design translates natural growth into spatial experience through a continuous spiral geometry that intuitively guides visitors. Fractal lighting, developed in collaboration between 13&9 Design and Fractals Research, filters through perforated patterns to create shifting light and shadow. This dynamic, nature-inspired interplay fosters a calm, immersive atmosphere with scientifically proven stress-reducing effects that support perception and well-being.
