Remember that colleague who swore off medical facilities since there was “no architecture,” except the lobby and maybe the building envelope. The technical requirements of healthcare facilities have historically been so intense that little attention was paid to the spaces created.
No more. See how newly published building codes for hospitals recognize that the quality of spaces within medical facilities have measurable positive effects on the health of patients. This workshop breaks down several hundred pages of hospital codes into easily understood concepts to make the design of hospital and healthcare spaces accessible to more architects without a “healthcare specialty.”
Directions: enter the Pratt campus via the gate at the corner of Dekalb Avenue & Hall Street. The Library is visible from the gate.
