PhD Networks of Care: The Architecture of Future Healthcare Environments-
Job description
In a world increasingly driven by data, healthcare facilities are undergoing profound changes, embracing new technologies to reinvent how they deliver acute care and interact with other healthcare providers. This shift enables healthcare institutions to focus on their core competencies while delegating non-essential tasks to specialized entities. As wearables and sensor networks become more prevalent, the traditional model of hospitals as standalone care providers is evolving into a broader, interconnected network that integrates personal wearables, smart home systems, and other healthcare technologies.
While these data technologies primarily focus on the human body, the evolution of healthcare environments must also be rooted in innovative architectural design. For instance, integrating advanced sensor networks not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly improves the overall patient experience by creating more responsive and human-centered environments. In this dynamic landscape, the role of architecture is more critical than ever, adapting to current needs while anticipating future shifts.
Research Question:
- How can future healthcare environments be designed to be flexible and adaptable, accommodating rapid changes in medical technology and patient care practices?
- What role can virtual and augmented reality play in the future design of healthcare facilities, and how might these technologies influence patient and staff experiences?
- How has the evolution of healthcare architecture reflected broader cultural and technological shifts, and how can contemporary design integrate and respect this historical legacy?
- How can architectural design incorporate anthropological insights into patient behavior and interaction to create environments that truly reflect and enhance the patient experience?
- In the convergence of digital and physical healthcare spaces, how can architecture help mediate and enhance the ethical dimensions of care, particularly concerning patient autonomy and consent in an increasingly monitored environment?
Research Aims:
- To study the architectural and cultural history of healthcare to understand the transition from analogue to data-driven technologies, focusing on how these shifts have impacted the design of healthcare spaces and the nature of care itself.
- To examine the interplay between healthcare environments and urban networks at various scales— from individual bodies and building structures to the broader urban landscape—to understand how healthcare facilities integrate into cities.
- To critically evaluate the reciprocal influence of design and healthcare work, analyzing how architecture affects care delivery and how healthcare practices, in turn, shape architectural design.
**Requirements**:
You have:
- Completed a MSc degree in Architecture or another related built-environment discipline;
- Interest or experience in healthcare Architecture and healthcare technology;
- Previous research experience in a transdisciplinary setting;
- The ability to work collaboratively with others (students, faculty, and staff) to create a supportive research and learning environment.
