What is health and its relationship with the built environment? These relationships will be covered at a range of scales—the design of rooms, buildings, campuses, cities, and beyond. Designing for health promotion can be directed at specific health challenges, or toward more holistic solutions ranging from changing product chemistry to neighborhood design. Presenters will identify an implementation strategy to embed a “culture of health” in your projects. Case studies and demonstrable examples from around the world illuminate how healthcare organizations and designers are working at all geographic scales to remake health-promoting places, spaces, and things.
Define the value of bringing a culture of health to design projects.
Contrast the traditional clinical care delivery model of health with the new definition of health.
Utilize the functional program to document culture of health design interventions.
Address the environment of care components in an evidence-based design process to achieve a culture of health.
