AZURE Talks- Hospital(ity): New Directions in Healthcare Design

April 28, 2021 / Dochitect / Design for the Future of Health

Presentations

Event: AZURE talks, part of Architect@Work Canada Digital Summit
Date: April 28, 2021
Panelists: Siamak Hariri, founder Partner, Hariri Pontarini Architects; Diana Anderson, Principal, Jacobs; Chris McQuillan, Principal, B+H Architects

Big institutional hospitals tend to look and feel like big, institutional spaces. But there’s a lot more to healthcare design than meeting the terms of an RFP. How can designers imbue places of healing with a sense of warmth, tranquility and even wellness? And what stands in the way?

On April 28th at 12pm EST, AZURE will host a free online talk exploring the future of healthcare design. Titled Hospital(ity): New Directions in Healthcare Design, the conversation will explore the links between space and well-being delving into how architects can help nurture comfort and intimacy in healthcare settings.
