This movie is intended to explore healthcare public space and is a continuation of a discussion that started in the summer of 2007 at a gathering of more than 150 architects, designers, healthcare consultants and owner representatives at the annual AIA Academy of Architecture for Health, Summer Leadership Conference. At that event we asked: Whats your favorite public space? How do we define healthcare public space? As designers, how might we use public space to create and enhance a positive healthcare experience? To stimulate thinking about the topic in advance of the conference, attendees were asked to create and submit images representing their favorite public space. Among the images submitted some were monumental and well-known sites, some where small, more personal spaces. It was clear that the spaces identified were spaces of a fond memory or experiences full of human emotion, spirit, magic and importance. Given the enthusiasm, interest and energy exhibited at the conference it seemed as if no one had ever asked these questions before we where really on to something. The curiosity for the topic was contagious and we where encouraged to continue our exploration. We had opened the door to a rich and stimulating topic and this movie is the next chapter in refining our original ideas and some suggestions about its practical application to our collective design work. This movie was originally prepared for and presented at the Healthcare Design 09 Conference in Orlando, Florida in early November 2009. The movie starts, as the discussion did over 2 years ago, by asking that simulating open ended question: What is your favorite public space? We hope you enjoy it!
