Today at 10am PT join this free webinar. WEBINAR | Coming to a Store Near You: Improving Community Health Access through Adaptive Reuse

Reminder to join us tomorrow, June 19, for our webinar with Hanna Kickham from O’Connell Mahon Architects - In Sickness and in Health: Lessons from Universal Design in Healthcare. 

OMA's hospital project for the Al Daayan Health District Masterplan impresses me – modularity, prefabrication, and automation seem to fit well within the local building typologies and functional requirements of a hospital; in fact, this project reminds me of Corb's hospital proposal for Venice for some reason. https://lnkd.in/gZiB9fWX Rem is a crucial theorist' IMO - Theory is dead'? I hear you say! No, it is just that you probably don't read because it bores you; let's be honest about architectural discourse. Koolhaas has been described as the 'Corb of his generation', with his pithy manifestoes and brisk style - not theory light, but theory subservient to managerial panache and media mastery. Though this prodigy did not fall fully formed like some bellicose angel from heaven, Koolhaas' mature style took time to shift from the ironic modernist in-joke to the confident commercial success, from quotation to program, from iconic New York bagel to an over-stacked stoner sandwich; or to be precise: long spans, internal promenades, cross programming and novel servant spaces that define this hybrid approach that developed out of his Manhattan project, with the fantasy of the autonomous building driving the future. Koolhaas' one big idea is that the autonomous building can resist the forces of the generic city (an irredeemable project!) and provide an unassailable redoubt, a neo-liberal fortress decked against its external symptoms! Koolhaas may have found the perfect space for his urban theory.

This Harvard Business Review article shares some interesting ways that architects and health care organizations come together to incorporate principles of social design into the built medical environment.

Imagine if every old building could be repurposed. We could turn them into care centers and medical facilities. Projects like the ones we did with MedExpress show this is possible. It would boost our economy and save a lot of waste. What are your thoughts on repurposing old buildings? #Innovation #Sustainability #CommercialRenovation #TheBannettGroup

Last week at the annual The American Institute of Architects (AIA) conference in Washington, D.C., Perkins&Will healthcare principals Dan Thomas and Julie Frazier explained the urgent challenges facing healthcare spaces today—and novel architectural solutions.   Perkins&Will is creating designs for new and renovated facilities that will make it easier for hospitals to make these changes in the event of another public health crisis. Dan Thomas discusses the changes in healthcare design that stemmed from the result of the Covid-19 pandemic and how healthcare workers had to scramble to adjust to the drastic changes.

Next Week, at the European Healthcare Design Conference, Bob Wills will be joined by Mark Barry from Architype to present, “Passivhaus community healthcare: Lifetime operational savings for no additional cost”. The talk will focus on the Cavell Community Health and Wellbeing Hub, a facility which sets a bold new vision for the delivery of community health services, integrating clinical and social care models to address the broad influences of health and wellbeing. Following on from Medical Architecture’s work with NHS England to envisage the future of integrated community healthcare facilities, the building is one of six pilot schemes for its Cavell Centre community hub programme. Developed in collaboration between Medical Architecture and Architype, the building adopts a pioneering approach to sustainable design, as the only pilot project to be designed to Passivhaus standards. Critically, this can be achieved for no additional cost, whilst enabling around a two-thirds reduction in operational energy and operational carbon compared to a typical new build facility. This equates to energy savings of around £291,000 a year. SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange | #architecture #healthcaredesign #EHD24
