Studies On Development Of Modern Healthcare Architecture

The level of medical treatment is becoming a symbol which can measure the advanced standard of a society. So every nation spends considerable financial power to explore this stratosphere of medical technology. And it presents "form follows function" in an architectural way and more and more modern healthcare architecture come into existence. Chinese modern healthcare architecture is developed on the base of the mode of the western countries' and it also presents a complicated situation under the influence of medical system, technology method, economic strength, political system and social culture. In addition, it faces new requirements of development under conditions of never-ending changes and improvement of technology and the perfection of modern medical management and service system. Direct towards this epochal project, the thesis begins from the history of the development of healthcare architecture in both china and developed countries. Then make general comparison in multi-angles of modern healthcare architecture in order to explore the historical thread of it in china, and find out a new way to design modern healthcare architectures which adapt to Chinese basic conditions.First, elaborate the background theory detailedly and discourse the development of western countries' healthcare architecture in a historical view. Especially focus on the theories of modern healthcare architecture of western countries which influenced China a lot. And conclude the function mode, the space combination and the aesthetic expression of western countries' healthcare architecture. Analyze the historical limitations of it and its meaning and influences to the development of modern healthcare architecture.Second, analyze the society background, the medical system and the architecture technique by stages which influenced the development of Chinese healthcare architecture from the beginning of this century to nowadays as based on the concluding of the development of western countries' healthcare architecture. And set examples of every stage's healthcare architecture in order to reflect the development thread of Chinese healthcare architecture clearly.Third, study the design conception, the architecture technique and the developing mode of developed countries such as England and German, and conclude their influences to China, especially the humanism in healthcare architecture design. Last, look forward the direction of Chinese healthcare architecture development in the future through the conclusion of the elements which influence it. And it concludes attaching importance to the health care to the aging people, information technology application in healthcare architecture and emphasizing the culture, the humanism and the sustainable principle in healthcare architecture design.
