AIA|LA presents…
Designing the Future: A Seven-Part Series

A series of virtual panel discussions
In light of lessons learned from our ongoing pandemic crisis, this series of panel discussions will explore how architects & designers can quickly adapt to the market demands and societal shifts that will occur as we adjust to living, working, and staying healthy in our built environment. The objective of this series will be to learn new ideas, innovations, and best-practices that will serve as a value-add to the architecture profession to help make our built and natural environments healthier, more equitable, and resilient.

Discussion topics will include:

+. Hospitals are not typically designed for pandemics. They are planned for the ebb and flow of normal everyday life.
+. When something unexpected happens like COVID19 it’s an opportunity to reimagine the design and planning of our hospitals.
+. We learn from it and start thinking creatively about how to transform existing spaces and how to incorporate lessons learned into new hospital design.
+. We are looking at this in two ways: short term, focusing primarily on safety and business recovery and long term focusing primarily on resilience which requires flexibility.
+. Three areas of immediate attention are the emergency department, the inpatient unit and ambulatory care buildings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will be able to identify opportunities to reimagine the design and planning of our hospitals in response to COVID-19, given that they are not typically designed for pandemics, but are planned for the ebb and flow of normal everyday life.

Participants will discuss how architects and designers learn from unexpected events like COVID19, and how these crises encourage us to start thinking creatively about transforming existing hospitals and health care spaces and incorporating these ideas into new hospital design.

Participants will examine the situation in two ways: short term, focusing primarily on safety and business recovery, and long term, focusing primarily on resilience which requires flexibility.

Participants will be able to outline three areas of immediate attention for health facilities: the emergency department, the inpatient unit, and ambulatory care buildings.
