“…The Schola Medica Salernitana is a good example of such a building. It was established under the monastic hospital auspices in the 9th century in Italy [38]. It is confirmed that the Schola Medica Salernitana remained the ground-breaking center for training scientists and medical professionals and for the provision of licensed practice in Europe until the 13th century [40].…”

“…Hospital architecture has evolved to fit into the healing process demands from time to time. According to Cameron [38] and Guenther and Vittori [39], there is a longacknowledged connection between architecture and health. Moreover, the appropriate building relevance in healing processes is well recognized by both architectural and medical practitioners.…”

A Review on Building Design as a Biomedical System for Preventing COVID-19 Pandemic

Sustainable design methods aim to obtain architectural solutions that assure the coexistence and welfare of human beings, inorganic structures, and living things that constitute ecosystems. The novel coronavirus emergence, inadequate vaccines against the present severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-(SARS-CoV-2), and increases in microbial resistance have made it essential to review the preventative approaches used during pre-antibiotic periods. Apart from low carbon emissions and energy, sustainable architecture for facilities, building designs, and digital modeling should incorporate design approaches to confront the impacts of communicable infections. This review aims to determine how architectural design can protect people and employees from harm; it models viewpoints to highlight the architects’ roles in combating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and designing guidelines as a biomedical system for policymakers. The goals include exploring the hospital architecture evolution and the connection between architectural space and communicable infections and recommending design and digital modeling strategies to improve infection prevention and controls. Based on a wide-ranging literature review, it was found that design methods have often played important roles in the prevention and control of infectious diseases and could be a solution for combating the wide spread of the novel coronavirus or coronavirus variants or delta.

“…The association between wellbeing and architecture was identified before the COVID-19 pandemic (Guenther & Vittori, 2008& Logan et al, 2010. In fact, in every 100 hospitalised patients, 7 in developed countries and 10 in developing countries get one healthcare-associated infection (WHO,2020).…”

The COVID-19 virus outbreak called for the redesign of hospital infrastructure to be resilient for possible future outbreaks. Before the pandemic, there was a causal link between the design of hospitals and the spread of nosocomial infections. Also, previous studies have revealed associations between climate change and the increased rate of the spread of infectious diseases. Hence, this review created a framework of strategies for pandemic-resilient and sustainable hospitals while emphasizing the role of architects in health promotion. The study conducted a qualitative content analysis of existing studies on the design of healthcare facilities post pandemic to build the framework of strategies. The research was organised into short, medium and long-term measures for pandemic resilience. The study has demonstrated that the framework for the space planning, ventilation, and material specification of hospitals must be revised for pandemic-resilient hospitals. The findings reveal that most of the design strategies that can control the spread of infection in a healthcare facility could also be a panacea for decreasing the carbon footprint of hospitals. Nonetheless, the paper has established the need for further interdisciplinary study on design strategies for impending pandemics that are applicable to all building typologies.

Book Review: Architecture and the modern hospital: Nosokomeion to Hygeia

is an ambitious attempt to trace the transformation of the modern hospital-from a place of salubriousness and charitable care to a system of rationally organized health and welfare-as a "global phenomenon." The architectural history of health and well-being is a rapidly growing field, and this book makes a thoughtful contribution with new content and an alternative framework for interpretation. The authors' claim of a "genuinely global architectural history of these hospitals" is raised early and is well-supported by a broad review of publications circulated internationally in the early 20th century, such as Nosokomeion, the official journal of the International Hospital Association, published in Stuttgart with articles in German, French, English, Italian, and Spanish; The Modern Hospital, a journal on hospital care and management published out of Chicago; and countless other volumes from hospital architects and specialists. These publications record a vibrant network of discourse, an idea that was first outlined by Logan and Willis in an article on the Australian connections, "International Travel as Medical Research" (2010) but has been expanded here to include its development across Australia, Europe, and North America, roughly between 1918 and 1968.
