| dc.description.abstract | Healthcare is an ever-changing field and often
a field of uncertainty of what will be around the
next corner. As of recent we have faced new
challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic
where the medical field had to shift of this virus
that was completely unknown to the world. We, as
a society, are increasingly aging and urbanizing.
Even among staff there are shortages, efficiency
problems among departments, and the need
for better work environments. Thus, becoming
the premise for this thesis project which dives
into how circulation can improve movement
and efficiency with patients and professionals.
Which leads to the question of “How does
implementing biophilia in architecture
improve the well-being and way-finding
of those who are using the facilities?”
The focus of this thesis is to bring these natural
forces back into built environments so we can
live healthier as a society. | en_US |
