Construction flexibility and adaptability inside hospitals

Construction flexibility inside a hospital building serves as an enabler for a health service to clinically progress. This research sought the opportunity of extending flexible design approaches by consolidating established knowledge into a refreshed flexibility pattern mapping. The resulting understanding provided a base for developing design propositions as examples of apt, flexible solutions. This research contributed to guiding flexibility towards enhanced practices and it partially addressed the softening of the logarithmic growth of financial burden for health services. Also, the research provided a model for a change-ready building fabric, allowing responsive opportunity towards the accelerating pace of clinical development
