Grassroot Culture

Cultura di Base is one of the four pilot projects of the Cultural Well-being Lab promoted within Well Impact, an experimental initiative of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation. On the thematic of culture for the humanization of places of care, Cultura di Base is a project of the Foundation for architecture/Turin in collaboration with Circolo del Design, ARTECO, ASL City of Turin and the Order of Doctors of Turin. The project intends to experiment how a treatment experience within a place with intense architecture can lead to the reduction of the stress of waiting in an uncomfortable environment and how it can contribute to the increase of well-being and psycho-physical comfort of the people being treated and of the carers, improving their relationship and working alliance. The experimentation aims to demonstrate that the experience of a medical visit in places of culture contributes to weakening the stress of waiting, increasing the well-being and psycho-physical comfort of patients and caregivers, improving their relationship.
