• Follow a function: the shape of a building or object should primarily relate to its intended function or purpose.
• Consider adopting the Bauhaus design principle of “form follows function” in our healthcare environment.
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION – but is this sustainable?

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN FACTORS
Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and the health and comfort of building occupants, thereby improving building performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN FACTORS
How much bigger will our buildings get? And then how sustainable is it….in all elements….makes you think?

CONCLUSION
‘Form’ could still follow ‘function’, providing we redefine the function of a hospital as an institution built to create a more holistic ‘wellness’, to consider the dignity, emotional needs and mental state of our ‘patient / guest’ to be every bit as important as his / her physical health.
IT IS ALL POSSIBLE – WE MUST JUST BE AWARE OF BEING SUSTAINALBE !
