Below are a set of links to building type studies from Architectural Record, which are in-depth analyses of particular kinds of buildings, with photos, drawings, specifications, detailed descriptions, and design solutions. Click on each link below, read the article, then complete the quiz to earn your credit and certificate of completion.
This course explores how architects are redefining healthcare design through projects that emphasize human-centered care, art integration, adaptive reuse, and long-term performance. Case studies include Herzog & de Meuron’s hospital in Zurich, Dorte Mandrup’s timber-clad Center for Health, the UK’s vast human-centered hospital complex, and the transformation of a dormant department store into a healthcare hub. Participants will also examine how projects such as the Crystal Bridges expansion and UCSF Helen Diller Hospital integrate art, culture, and wellness into clinical settings. Attendees will gain strategies for incorporating daylight, acoustics, natural materials, and restorative design features while advancing efficiency and resilience goals.
