Temat prelekcji: THE APPLICATION GAP How do social and health research feel in architectural design processes?
Healthcare environments. Sensitive spaces of care. Places which have a particular impact on human behaviour and healing processes. But how much do we care when we design them? How do social and health research weigh in the practice? How can we challenge this situation?
Drawing on the knowledge of social science, design processes and environmental psychology, Nikola will talk about the current situation of social and health research in architectural practices. From the multi-level perspective, starting from social researchers, touching on the architects’ headaches and reflecting on the clients’ agendas. Hence promoting the value of interdisciplinarity within the design teams to ease the existing problem of the ‘application gap’ of research findings into designs.
The talk will refer to her work, observations, and the research carried out in Denmark together with six architectural studios that were responsible for the transformation of health infrastructure, so-called Super Hospitals.
