This indispensable reference book captures key recent developments in
the rapidly evolving field of sustainable hospital architecture. Today’s
architects must provide hospitals which enable high quality care for diverse
patient populations in carbon neutral care settings, and this book succinctly
considers what needs to be done in order to meet that challenge. The
contemporary hospital is viewed in the context of global climate change, the
planet’s diminishing natural resources and the spiralling cost of operating
healthcare facilities.
Stephen Verderber considers the future of the hospital, and supplies a
compendium of 100 planning and design considerations for the building type. The
book includes twenty-eight case studies of built and unbuilt hospitals from
around the world. These are grouped into five types - autonomous community
based hospitals, children’s hospitals, rehabilitation and elderly care centres
and hospitals, regional medical centre campuses, and visionary (unbuilt)
projects.
Beautifully and extensively illustrated with many photographs, diagrams
and floor plans, this is essential reading for all architects, planners,
engineers, product manufacturers, clients, healthcare providers and government
agencies involved in the present and future of sustainable healthcare
environments.
