Doctors' Practices

"When visiting a doctor, the design of the waiting and consultation rooms are perhaps the last things on one's mind, and many doctors might think that aesthetics take a back seat to the primary function of a medical practice. But should it? Can design play a role in making one feel better? Should a doctor's practice only be about the diagnosis, treatment, and prescription, or could it also be about the physical environment, architecture, reception, accessibility, quality, communication, and could this in turn influence one's mood? ... This book compiles 60 contemporary designs worldwide in a wide variety of fields, from dentistry and pediatrics, to traditional Chinese medicine, that are at the forefront of design ... Doctors' practices demonstrates today's architectural responses to the complex demands of healthcare - a very rapidly developing field, offering some of the finest, most innovative solutions in the world."--Preface (p. [7-8]).
