Excerpt: What does the term “dochitect” mean for you?

Dr. Anderson: The dochitect serves to bridge the gap between architecture and medicine. There is a quote from the Dutch architect, Herman Hertzberger that states, “The architect is like the physician…he must see to it that what he does makes everyone feel better.” The dochitect is able to see from a different perspective and able to bring both knowledge sets together and promote innovation.
