Architects for Health Our History

The aim of Architects for Health is to promote and campaign for better healthcare environments through bringing together organisations and individuals who share an interest in excellence in the planning and design of healthcare facilities.

Architects for Health is a non-profit organisation for architects and others interested in the design and planning of healthcare facilities. Its inception in 1992 was a response to the considerable strategic change in the health sector. Since then, AfH has established a forum for new ideas and has grown into an organisation with a 500-strong membership list for whom it provides a national network of support and the means to influence policy.


Architects for Health History of the Event

Since 2007 Architects for Health have hosted a student design competition. The objective of the event is to re-establish the link between practice and academia in the sector.

The wide range of building types within the healthcare sector offer the designer the opportunity to explore how design can contribute to the function of a building and in the case of healthcare contribute and compliment therapy and medicine.

The competition seeks to make a space for designers to consider the topic without limitations. Through the competition we hope to prove that excellent design can be derived form the challenge of the brief , or the programme, and the unhelpful schism between health planning internally and architecture as a mere envelope can be bridged.

Architects for Health Topic

10 million people in the UK are over 65 years old. The latest projections are for 5½ million more Elderly people in 20 years’ time and the number will have nearly doubled to around 19 million by 2050 (http://www.parliament.uk).

There are 800,000 people in the UK with a form of dementia in 2012 (http://alzheimers.org.uk) this is expected to exceed beyond 1 million by 2021 due to the rapidly aging UK population and the greater prevalence of the condition with age.

How do our hospital estates and environments need to change to address the growing prevalence of patients admitted with other conditions in addition to a form of Dementia?

The Brief: Guidance


The Brief: Guidance

Healthcare design benefits from a wide range of guidance documents including the Department of Health cannon of Health Building Notes (HBNs) and Health Technical Memorandum (HTMs)

Guidance can be very useful in understanding a topic, and is a valuable resource

Students are urged to study necessary guidance but are encouraged to reference it where useful and challenge it where necessary

As with the Dementia Design Series (referenced on earlier slides) the suggestions which are evidence and practice based do not necessarily assure a positive and therapeutic environment

Students should draw evidence from a broad spectrum of resources including healthcare guidance, site specific literature, primary evidence, site visits, art, literature and architecture
