Healthcare facilities, hospitals, small cities in enclosed spaces; people working, people recovering; babies being born, people dying. Is it really possible to build a place that supports all these different activities? Mai-Britt Beldam explores.
Innovation and the new Alder Hey Children’s Hospital
This presentation observes that hospital design reflects the personality of both the development team and the client organisation. The team at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital has developed a number of new hospitals in the UK, developing a detail-driven approach to hospital design and supporting a vision for buildings to have the balance and personality of Vitruvian Man (striving for excellence in all aspects of form, function and structure).
21st century health district
Healthcare is undergoing significant transformations to address demographic, economic and regulatory changes. In the UK and the USA, the relationship between the medical campus and the city/towns is being reevaluated. This talk shows how health districts can: 1) set, track, evaluate and foster better planning tools for public health, 2) create a framework for a more connected, walkable and adaptable urban environment, and 3) build a platform for collaboration between health-service providers.
