In an undated interior diagram for the patient room, the functional principles of
the room have taken shape: the horizontal airing mechanism of the window was indi-
cated with arrows, the washbasins were in place and the furnishing of the room were
complete.^874 Marked with annotations in Swedish, the diagram was made by adding to
a previous drawing and was published in Byggmästaren in 1932.^875
In these drawings, which were created for presentation purposes at the time of their com-
pletion, the ideas and forms of objects corresponded to reality. The diagram presented the
completed room with the essential solutions numbered.^876 The German-language patient
room diagram included two drawings: the functions of the floor and the ceiling respectively.
The annotations in German have been translated into English and the translations have
been added to the drawing by hand. In addition to the correct scaling of the furniture, the
diagram also illustrated the window solutions, airing, the washbasins and spittoons, and the
ventilation system. The load-bearing structures, the risers in the corridor-facing wall and the
opening of the riser onto the corridor have been presented. One of the diagrams showed
the functional principles of the ceiling in their final form: the shape of the dark and light-
coloured areas, the lighting and the positioning of the radiator heater. However, the size of
the reflective areas compared to reality was exaggerated in the image.^877
