Features: This book is a specialized monograph that systematically discusses the theory and practice of modern hospital architectural design. The content is broadly divided into two parts. Part 1 (Chapters 1-5) is the general introduction, focusing on the macro-level discussion of the emergence and development of hospitals, their functional structures and architectural forms, regional health planning and overall layout. It also analyzes and reviews the "transformation" and "adaptation" patterns of hospital architecture. Combining the transformation of medical models and its impact on hospital architecture, a dedicated chapter explores patient needs and their perception and evaluation of the environment, aiming to contribute to the creation of humanized hospital settings. The second part (Chapters 6-12) is the detailed discussion, covering in-depth analysis of various departments of hospitals such as outpatient services, medical technology, inpatient care, and logistics supply. It incorporates new concepts, content, and case studies, reflecting the latest achievements and development trends in contemporary world hospital architecture.
