Tue, 07 May 2024 11:44:44 GMT

Healthy City

Lecture series "City Diagnoses" – an instrument for healthy cities organized by the Global Urban Health Community of the Global Health Hub Germany.

The Global Urban Health Community, perceives cities as spaces of opportunity for diverse futures due to their dynamic development. In a policy brief on Urban Health last year, various areas for transformation towards healthy cities were explored. A key recommendation is the necessity of localized "city diagnoses" to identify the individual action areas of a city and develop targeted measures. Together with interested parties and invited practitioners, the aim is to concretize the instrument of "city diagnosis."

The lecture series provides an overview of various instruments and initiatives that collect data on parameters related to urban health in a localized, integrative, and/or participatory manner. Invited are experts from academia and practice, who will share their experiences, implementation challenges, and opportunities of their instruments and initiatives. The insights from the lecture series will be compiled into a concluding document.

Global Health Hub Germany invites you to become part of this process. Participation in the lecture series requires a non-binding registration.

Further information and the registration form can be found in the link below.

If you are interested in actively participating in the writing and/or review process beyond attending the lecture series, you are welcome to join the Global Urban Health Community .

Explore the winner projects 2024

Young talents from around the globe competed for this year's Architecture for Health Student Award and Charité Special Prize. The topics of the submitted projects were diverse, including innovative concepts of sustainable care for people in different life situations, small-scale interventions to design healthy and health-promoting environments, and theoretical approaches to improve hospital planning through process-mining. The jury ultimately decided to award two first and two third prizes for the Student Award as well as one Charité prize.

The winning projects reflect the diversity of student ideas. The two first prizes went to Sweden to Karl-Johan Gydell for his design of a family hospice and to the USA to Lukas Hendricks , who had worked on a housing and care concept for dementia patients. A third prize was awarded to a re-use project for a hospital in a disused market hall by Tomás Renzulli , Argentina. The second third prize was awarded to a landscape planning project by Katarzyna Jamiol from Poland, which dealt with the topic of climate-resilient environments and protection from heat.

Jieqi Li from the University of Sydney impressed the jury with her design for a youth therapy center, in which nature, sustainable construction and supportive design are the key themes.

The award ceremony took place on February 29 ^th as part of the 10th Health Care of the Future Symposium in Berlin, where the winners had the opportunity to present their projects to the public during an evening event at the British Embassy.

Congratulations to all the winners!

The event is free of charge. Registration is mandatory.

This event will showcase the teaching and research at ETH Zurich in the area of evidence-based design for human-centred healthcare environments. During the event, you will have the unique opportunity to experience the impact of architecture on healthcare through 1:1 scale projections of hospital floor plans analysed for various human-centred metrics and showcasing real-world behaviour patterns of caregivers in healthcare environments. The projections will include visualisations of caregivers walking patterns, their interactions with one another and visual analytics of the space concerning patients' outdoor view and intervisibility between spaces to name a few. The projections will serve as the backdrop for role-playing scenarios where attendees can 'walk' within the projected spaces and compare their intuition with the visual analytics generated through on site observations in real world healthcare environments.

The evening will begin at 5 pm and will include:

Today Europe is facing a health crisis coupled with intensifying challenges brought about by climate change. Covid-19 hit at the heart of existing social vulnerabilities in Europe related to growing incidence of non-communicable diseases, population ageing and persistent inequalities. At the same time, human health and well-being are intrinsically linked with the state of environment, which in turn depends on human activity and life choices. How to break the vicious circle of environmental degradation and declining state of health? What strategies and investments for healthier and more sustainable European societies post-Covid-19?

Architecture for Health

When the motto of efficiency is faced with human needs

Hospital architecture reflects society in a state of flux. How do we care for our patients? What kind of working environments do we offer caregivers? How are hospitals integrated into our cities? When planning a hospital, architects are not only faced with the challenge of sensibly merging aspects of function and construction. They also design spaces that temporarily serve employees, patients and relatives as a working and living environment.

Christine Nickl-Weller and Hans Nickl have been engaging with questions of hospital construction for 40 years. Drawing on their wealth of experience in both practical work and academic research, they view the hospital on different levels: from the context of urban structures and social developments, as a highly specialised building type with its own functional requirements, as a place of work and healing with all of its dimensions of everyday life, and with respect to issues of internal and external design.

This holistic perspective on hospital construction is enriched by texts by renowned authors from a range of disciplines, such as healthcare management, psychology, landscape architecture and art history.

einen Neu- oder Umbau, über ökonomische und rechtliche

Rahmenbedingungen bis hin zur Inbetriebnahme. Das Buch

vermittelt die Themenbereiche Architektur und Planung, bauliche

Umsetzung sowie Projektorganisation inklusive zeitgemäßer

Betriebsorganisation, strategischer Planung und Finanzierung

einer modernen Krankenhauskonzeption.

Das Buch richtet sich an Bauherren im Management der Krankenhäuser,

an Architekten und Fachplaner sowie an Entscheider

Health Care of the Future Vol. 7

Digitization and Big Data are reshaping the health care landscape. At the same time, digital technologies in architecture are changing the possibilities of spatial planning and spatial production. Standardization and personalization are two initially contradictory consequences for the hospital of the future. How can these opposites be unified?

Against the background of this question, the close connection between the digital revolution and architectural, medical, media, economic and social aspects in health care is discussed from the point of view of various disciplines and questioned for future-oriented concepts.

This volume documents the lectures of the 7th symposium "Health Care of the Future", organized by the department "Architecture for Health" of the Technical University Berlin and the "European Network Architecture for Health" in Berlin.

The volume contains German and English chapters.
