The last quarter century has witnessed a massive transformation in our conception of the human largely facilitated by information technology and a digitally augmented sensorium. This transformation has profound implications for both the medical and the aesthetic disciplines yielding affinities that are relevant to healthcare design.

This conference will begin the public discourse that will be continued in our new Health Design graduate studies program currently in the planning stages. It begins a dialogue between medicine and aesthetics examining the capacity for design to align evidence with intuition, quantitative analysis with qualitative judgment, science with art. The conference interrogates current ideas and practices defining the role of design in the promotion of health while seeking to foster an appreciation of how the forms of affective and cognitive experience associated with environmental aesthetics may clarify and amplify the goals that motivate therapeutic practices and institutions.

Treating architecture as the locus for the convergence of medical and aesthetics agendas, the conference aims to promote this dialogue at three scales and according to three thematic rubrics. The first rubric, Corporealities, will focus on the body; the second rubric, Atmospherics, will focus on the built environment; the third rubric, Networks, will focus on the physical and informational infrastructures that traverse and situate the built environment.

The two-day conference is followed by workshops that bring ideas from all three rubrics to bear directly on practical considerations: “Responsive Wards: How Ambient Technologies Enhance Patient Experience and Recovery; “Conversation with the Dean: Designing the CAMH Complex; “From Sink to Precinct; Healthcare in the Age of Pandemics” and “Evidence Based Design: Application to Critical Care and Acute Care”.

This conference is a collaboration between the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion, and the Ontario College of Art and Design.

This conference is eligible for the OAA CORE Learning Hours.
