Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure: Open Building in Practice

Stephen H Kendall

4.9/5 (18184 ratings)

Description:Architects and healthcare clients are increasingly coming to recognize that, once built, healthcare facilities are almost immediately subject to physical alterations which both respond to and affect healthcare practices. This puts into question the traditional ways in which these facilities are designed: if functions and practices are subject to alteration, the standard approach of defining required functions and practices before acquiring facilities is obsolete. We need other starting points, working methods, and ways of collaborating. Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure presents these new approaches. Advocating an infrastructure theory of built environment transformation in which design and investment decisions are organized hierarchically and transcend short-term use, the book draws on ten case studies to showcase best practice from around the world. Written by experts with experience in policy-making, designing, building, and managing complex healthcare environments, it shows professionals in architecture, engineering, healthcare and facilities management how to enhance the long-term usefulness of their campuses and their building stock and how to strengthen their physical assets with the capacity to accommodate a quickly evolving healthcare sector.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
