“…The architecture of hospitals has been evolving from time to time to fit into the demands of the healing process. According to Guenther&Vittori [ 9 ] and Cameron [ 10 ], there exists a long-recognized relationship between health and architecture, they added that the relevance of suitable building in the healing process is well known to both medical and architectural professionals.…”

“…Many of the early hospital designs resembled schools structured around a courtyard often located at the edge of villages or cities and monastic orders were the caretakers of the sick [ 11 , 13 ]. A good example of such a building is “Schola Medica Salernitana founded in the 9 th century under the auspices of the monastic hospital in Italy” [ 10 ]. Tesler [ 11 ] added that until the thirteenth century, this institute remains the pioneering epicenter for training healthcare personals, scientists and issuance of practice licenses in Europe.…”

Background Sustainable design strategies are targeted at finding architectural solutions that reassure the well-being and coexistence of inorganic features, living organisms, and humans that make up the ecosystem. The emergence of the novel coronavirus, an increase in microbial resistance, and lack of a vaccine for the present pandemic have made it imperative to appraise the preventive strategies employed during the pre-antibiotic period. Sustainable architecture for children's hospital design and childcare facilities, apart from low energy and carbon emission, must integrate design strategies to confront the impact of infectious diseases. Aim The aim of the paper is to identify how the space patients and health-care workers0 occupy can be made safer from an architectural design perspective with the view of developing guidelines for policymakers and highlighting the architect’s role in combating the pandemic. Objectives The objectives include; to examine the evolution of medical architecture and the nexus between infectious diseases and architectural space and suggest a design approach that enhances infection prevention and control (IPC). Method The paper relied on existing literature, interviews, and interactions with healthcare workers. Results/Conclusion The findings showed that design strategies have always played a significant role in infection prevention and control (IPC) and could as well be a panacea for curbing the spread of Covid -19.

“…Hospital architecture has occasionally changed to meet the needs of the recovery procedure. There has, according to Guenther, Vittori [12] and Cameron [6], always been a connection between health and armature. They continued by saying that both medical and architectural professionals are aware of the relevance of appropriate buildings in the healing process.…”

Currently, there is a deficit efficient and contextualized design strategies to aid in infection prevention and save health professionals. Thus, the paper's objective is to validate how the room we enthrall can be made safer from the perspective of architectural design with the aim of creating rules for politicians and highlighting the role of the architect in battling diseases. Two hospitals have been considered to apply these conditions to adapt with new polices of infection control. The modifications have revealed good results that the hospitals have been divided into three sections, triaging, isolated patients, and normal patients.

“…Das viagens ligadas a saúde e medicina, ressaltam visitas para concretizar edifícios, realizadas por médicos e arquitetos. Viajar para observar soluções arquitetônicas e técnicas foi prática habitual 19 Não são exploradas detalhadamente relações estabelecidas entre Portugal e outros países, ou a integração de portugueses em redes internacionais. Pretende-se, de forma mais circunscrita, salientar o contributo das viagens ao estrangeiro, realizadas por intervenientes nos planos de organização hospitalar, na definição de medidas segundo um modelo administrativo regionalista.…”

“…Aproximava-se do espanhol Ignasi Aragó (1916-2012), que destacou a distribuição dos serviços consoante as necessidades, interligados em rede 3 (p. 146), para otimização econômica dos recursos e mitigação de desigualdades no acesso. Ambos ecoam ideias de Llewelyn-Davies e Macaulay acerca do estabelecimento de uma rede hospitalar regionalizada, construindo equipamentos com dimensão e serviços adequados à realidade do local e da comunidade, estruturada sob a política de saúde nacional 9 (p.

Influências estrangeiras e concretizações nos intentos de regionalização da rede hospitalar em Portugal (1946-1974)

O presente artigo aborda os propósitos de regionalização da rede hospitalar portuguesa durante o regime ditatorial do Estado Novo (1933-1974), lançados no após Segunda Guerra Mundial. Almejando um sistema hospitalar coordenado com base regional, o governo português limitou-se a comparticipar a construção e a remodelação de edifícios, relegando as múltiplas tarefas envolvidas no funcionamento hospitalar para instituições particulares, o que dificultou o desenvolvimento e o acesso a cuidados de saúde a uma parte significativa da população. Com base na análise de viagens de estudo realizadas por administradores hospitalares e engenheiros sanitários nas décadas de 1940 e 1950, sobretudo a países europeus como Itália, França e Inglaterra, pondera-se acerca da importância dos contatos com redes internacionais de especialistas e da influência exercida pelos exemplos estrangeiros sobre as medidas de organização da assistência hospitalar em Portugal estabelecidas nos anos seguintes.
