Understanding the Language of Hospital Design in the Context of Space, Perception and Cognition: The Case of SDU Hospital

25305

This study aims to understand the architectural design language of multi-storey hospital structures in the context of space, perception and cognition. Based on social aspects of spatial configuration of hospital structures to mathematical foundations, the study aims to assess the impact on the users and to improve conceptual proposals for providing inputs into the design of new hospitals. This study utilized from space syntax method that developed as a dynamic theory of spatial analysis, from the visibility graph analysis techniques that can be done the comparison in this way with that spatial method and from the observational methods for providing input to these analysis. The SDÜ hospital was selected as a case study area and the study was carried out on three main lines impending density in the space, movement in the space and spatial configuration. As a result of the study; users feel lost in space they were preferred areas showing high connectedness and integration, and reflected these areas into their observed individual drawings. It was also observed that both syntactic and non-syntactic features have a significant impact on users.
