Our future hospitals – Healing Architecture
Exhibition
Jan 10 - Apr 29, 2018
Our future hospitals – Healing Architecture at DAC in 2018 explored how new hospitals can support healing through design principles, future technology and cases such as Børneriget, Slagelse and Herning.
About the exhibition
Our Future Hospitals – Healing Architecture ran at the Danish Architecture Center from the 10th January to 29th April 2018 and at the Utzon Center in Aalborg from February.
The exhibition then travelled around Denmark.
The Danish healthcare system is under pressure. However, new technology also brings new opportunities. The Danish regions plan to renovate and build 43 new hospitals by 2025 to make them better equipped to care for us all. The ambition for the new hospitals is to be people-centric.
At the exhibition you learned about the grand visions for the new Children’s Hospital Copenhagen with its aim to be the world’s best hospital for children and their families. You learned about the award-winning new psychiatric hospital in Slagelse and the sensory-stimulating delivery rooms in Herning. At the exhibition, you heard about the ten design principles that underline the healing process, about how the new hospitals will use future technology, and about building a healthcare sector for an unknown future. For a complex future. For a future where the focus will continually be high quality and optimised use of time, money and resources.
