A Study on the Systematic Approaches to the Planning and Design of Medical Facilities |
| Abstract |
This study is intended to understand the systematic approaches to the planning and design process of medical facilities. Practical and theoretical researches were executed, and some results of the study could be summarized as follows ; 1) Hospital programming as a professional work is divided into main function programming and detailed programming. Because architect and constructor take part in the programming from the beginning stage, the hospital program is to be written very practical. 2) Hospital is designed through the process of data collection and concept establishment, competition and democratic work. Main subject is to design the effective and humane envirnment in horizontal hospital.3) A computer aided hospital master planning system, which structurizes the design process from basic elements to whole hospital using the concept of design grid, space attributes and database, is introduced. 4) The trend in hospital design is to prefer the low, decentralized and small units hospital to the high, centralized and big one. 5) Further researches are to be focused on the more systematic process of hospital programming and design, its computerization, and a feasibility of low-horizontal hospital in Korea. |
