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"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aHospital architecture 606 $aHealth facilities$xDesign and construction 615 0$aHospital architecture. 615 0$aHealth facilities$xDesign and construction. 676 $a725.51047 700 $aVerderber$b Stephen$0920753 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959837803321 996 $aInnovations in hospital architecture$94347011 997 $aUNINA
