OPHTHALMOLOGY CLINICTEAM PROJECT

PROJECT STATEMENT:

The urban element is a medical clinic that will refresh, renew, and rejuvenate the users and return them back to their best state of well being. as a medical office building of 6 diverse clinics, the design of the entry level considered the various user needs of all those entering the building. the community of the gulch in nashville was a key factor of the design by featuring local artist in the art gallery, incorporating the music culture of nashville, including an exercise space that invites the public in, and a health foods shop which sells locally grown produce. ultimately this medical office building will be an as-set to this community by providing resources that contribute in long lasting benefits to the life style of its users.

PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

PRIMARY RESEARCH GOAL: THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO STUDY OPHTHAL-MOLOGY CLINICS TO INFORM FUTURE DESIGN DECISIONS.

oBJECTIVES:

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: WAITING TIME: MINIMIZE WAITING TIME TO POSITIVELY IMPACT USER SATISFACTION

CIRCULATION: PROVIDE A LAYOUT THAT COMPLIMENTS BOTH STAFF AND PATIENT NEEDS

COMMUNITY: PROVIDE A SPACE THAT LINKS THIS MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING DIRECTLY TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY

PRIVACY: PROVIDE SOLUTIONS THAT ALLOW FOR USER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT

OPHTHALMOLOGY CLINICTEAM PROJECT

CONCEPT

ENTRY LEVEL:we began the process of developing our concept by analyzing the evidence we have gathered of what functions a medical office building in the gulch would need to satisfy. we first looked at why people come to a medical office building in the first place, which then led to a single phrase- “to leave in a bet-ter state of being than when you arrived.” discussing this further, we found a theme of repetition, finding ourselves using words that started with “re”. this resulted in the choices of refresh, renew, and rejuvenate, each representing a different function of the entry level. this medical office building will refresh all users through the healthy food options presented on the entry level, re-new the users body and mind through physical activity, and rejuvenate all users through the art and music, connecting them to the surrounding nash-ville community.

BAN ELEMENT

BRANDING clinic LEVEL:THE DESIGN OF THE OPHTHALMOLOGY CLINIC REVOLVES AROUND OUR CONCEPT OF BRINGING THE PATIENT BACK TO THEIR BEST STATE OF WELL BEING. THE CURVI-LINEAR LINES ON THE FLOOR AND CEILING PROVIDE WAY-FINDING TECHNIQUES THAT ADD COMFORT AND EASE IN GUIDING THE PATIENTS THROUGH THE CLINIC. THE INCORPORATION OF NATURAL MATERIALS AND EXTERIOR VIEWS GIVES A CALMING AND POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR ALL USERS TO ENJOY. THE RADIAL SYMMETRY OF THE FLOOR PLAN CREATES A SIMPLISTIC AND EFFICIENT ENVIRONMENT FOR EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS DURING THEIR TIME IN THE CLINIC. MOVEMENT, LIGHT, AND FOCUS ARE KEY ELEMENTS OF THIS DESIGN THAT MAKE THE SPACE SUCCESSFUL IN RETURNING THE USERS TO THEIR BEST STATE OF WELL-BEING.

The design uses evidence based research to gain a full under-standing of how autistic children think and take in three dimensional space and uses this information to create a facility that will give the children the comfort and independence that is needed for learning to best occur.

To create a facility that focuses on enhancing the learning of autistic chil-dren though specific design innovation.

INSPIRATION

EDUCATIONAL FACILITY FOR AUTISTIC CHILDRENThesis PROJECT

INSPIRED FROM THE CASE STUDY, MEDIATE, AND HOW THEY DESIGNED A SPACE USING CONTROL TO ACHIEVE A SENSE OF aGENCY, ENHANCE NON-REPETITIVE ACTIONS, ADAPT TO EACH CHILD, AND INCLUDE HIGH FUNCTIONING CHILDREN IN THE DESIGN TEAM TO REACH THE GOALS FOR THIS SPACE.

THE MEDIATE SPACE ACTED AS A “LIVING” ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE INTERACTIVE EL-EMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE MAIN PART OF THE DESIGN. THESE ELEMENTS ANALYZE HOW EACH CHILD IS RESPONDING TO THE SPACE AND PRODUCED THE APPROPRIATE STIMULA-TION NEEDED FOR EACH CHILD. THESE RESPONSES WERE BASED OFF OF THE CHILD’S SENSO-RY NEEDS.

MY SPACE INCORPORATES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS, AS SEEN IN ME-DIATE, WHILE USING WHAT WAS FOUND THROUGH EVIDENCE BASED RESEARCH ON DESIGN-ING FOR AUTISM. THE SPACE FOCUSES ON BEING FLEXIBLE, COMFORTABLE, AND BENEFICAL FOR LEARNING IN AUTISTIC CHILDREN.

SNOEZELEN ROOM:

This space is where the children can relax or calm down if they get frustrated/overwhelmed.

It features bubble tubes, a slide, ball pit, cusioned seating, a swing, and a compression toy. These elements are specifically chosen for this space because they focus on the senses. This type of space has been found to be very successful with children on the spectrum.
