The Covert Life of Hospital Architecture addresses hospital architecture as a set of interlocked, overlapping spatial and social conditions. It identifies ways that planned-for and latent functions of hospital spaces work jointly to produce desired outcomes such as greater patient safety, increased scope for care provider communication and more intelligible corridors. By advancing space syntax theory and methods, the volume brings together emerging research on hospital environments. Opening with a description of hospital architecture that emphasizes everyday relations, the sequence of chapters takes an unusually comprehensive view that pairs spaces and occupants in hospitals: the patient room and its intervisibility with adjacent spaces, care teams and on-ward support for their work and the intelligibility of public circulation spaces for visitors. The final chapter moves outside the hospital to describe the current healthcare crisis of the global pandemic as it reveals how healthcare institutions must evolve to be adaptable in entirely new ways. Reflective essays by practicing designers follow each chapter, bringing perspectives from professional practice into the discussion. The Covert Life of Hospital Architecture makes the case that latent dimensions of space as experienced have a surprisingly strong link to measurable outcomes, providing new insights into how to better design hospitals through principles that have been tested empirically. It will become a reference for healthcare planners, designers, architects and administrators, as well as for readers from sociology, psychology and other areas of the social sciences.

Immobilien werden künftig nicht mehr gebaut, sondern produziert. Der Modulbau hat sich durch technische Weiterentwicklungen und neue Gestaltungskonzepte zu einer echten Alternative zum Massivbau entwickelt. Dank modularer Bauweisen lässt sich schnell und effektiv Wohnraum errichten. Das Buch gibt einen hervorragenden Überblick über die Möglichkeiten des Modulbaus. Architekten erläutern anhand von Beispielen aus den Bereichen Wohnen, Bildung, Gewerbe und Gesundheitswesen ihre Erfahrungen. Zahlreiche Fotos, Detailzeichnungen und Grundrisse illustrieren die jeweiligen Anforderungen des Bauherrn und die Entwurfsidee des Architekten. Einleitende Beiträge von ausgewiesenen Experten unter anderem zu den Besonderheiten bei Planung, Ausschreibung und Vergabe sowie zum Schall- und Brandschutz komplettieren das Handbuch und machen es zu einem unverzichtbaren Nachschlagewerk. In the future, real estate will no longer be built but manufactured. Technical advancements and new design concepts have transformed modular construction into a real alternative to traditional construction. Thanks to modular construction, residential spaces can be erected rapidly and effectively. This book offers an excellent overview of the possibilities of modular construction. Using a selection of examples from residential, education, commerce and healthcare fields, architects describe their experiences with modular construction. Numerous photos, drawings and floor plans illustrate the respective client requirements and the architect's own design concepts. Introductory contributions by renowned experts on, among other things, the particularities of planning, tendering and contracting, as well as sound proofing and fire protection round out this practical handbook.
