Deze zomer verscheen het tijdschrift ZIN met als thema: Bouwen aan beter.
Nieuw Isala ziekenhuis in Zwolle op het 9th Design & Health World Congress, Brisbane 2013:
Finalist in de categorieen “grote ziekenhuizen” en “interieurontwerp”
Quote: Jan A. Golembiewski BFA, Barch, March, PhD:
The important features of Isala are the human scale and familiar yet interesting urban forms. If you read my work (such as “Determinism and desire: Some neurological processes in perceiving the design object.” International Journal of Design in Society 6: 23-36. (2013).) You’ll see how important it is to surprise people positively – and I think Isala will do that (in fact, I witnessed it in the crowd). This psychological reaction ensures that the project will be well accepted and loved. It also is a powerful tool for the treatment of negative signs of psychosis and depression. Because there’s a psychosomatic element in any healing process, my educated guess the ‘delight’ that the building inspires will cut length of stay by 10-20%. Certainly if I had to stay somewhere it would be my choice.
Op 21 september wordt het eerste deel van het projekt in Dalfsen (woonstichting VechtHorst) in gebruik genomen door de bewoners van Philadelphia. Binnenkort volgt een uitgebreid beeldverslag, het ontwerp is al te zien onder projecten.
