AbstractIndependently written scientific paper concerning a subject in the area of health facility planning and design with special focus upon the dynamic changes in health care services and the according planning and building reactions to them.
Learning objectiveThe objective is that the students engage in a debate of a differentiated functional planning as a basis for health care buildings which are to be successful medically, operationally and in design.
On the basis of a given scope of themes the students carry out research aiming for possible improvements in health facility planning. The scope of subjects is announced at the beginning of each semester.
ContentHealth care buildings are subject to constant change. In a new hospital building 60% of the diagnostic and treatment areas are subject to building changes within the first 10 years of operation. Architecture has to develop concepts which accommodate this level of dynamics into the building structure in a better way.
In the coming years this need for adaptability is going to be challenges even further by the even more reducing health care resources. The paper should discuss in this context a specific question in detail by analysing problems and developing and discussing potential planning solutions.
