Workshop and seminar on an academic network on healthcare environments design (ARCHnet) – chair: Göran Lindahl
Berlage 2 Workshop and seminar on an academic network on healthcare environments design (ARCHnet) – chair: Göran Lindahl A workshop and seminar on the research field of healthcare environment design. A key question is if we, the researchers at the conference, see a need and benefit for such a network. All conference participants that find this endeavour relevant are welcome to the discussion. (more info in the book of abstracts / to be linked) To: A workshop-based discussion on the research field of healthcare environment design. The main focus will be on approaches used and if there is any such thing as methods specific to research on design of healthcare physical environments, which these are and how they are structured. Inputs from participants in the workshop will be required. Most likely we are multi methods, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary etc. which makes a clear cut one for all approach impossible. However, a platform for an academically based discussion on this would most likely support the development of research in the field of healthcare physical design and its conceptualization, execution, understanding of its effects etc. A key question is if we, the researchers at the conference, see a need and benefit for a research network on theory and methods related to the research field of healthcare physical design. An even wider approach to health and design of physical environments might either make a need of a network obsolete or even more crucial – let us discuss these matters. All conference participants that find this endeavour relevant are welcome to the discussion.
