Following on from the best selling Healthy Living Centres, this new edition explores the process of planning and designing buildings for frontline medical practice. Incorporating the theory that good design means healthy living the author shows the beneficial effects that a good brief can bring to the staff, patients and visitors of health care facilities and gives a practical guide to achieving this. After reviewing the historical approach to primary health care and outlining key current and projected developments, the book goes on to reveal the network of relationships that influence the design of the new generation of frontline medical practices. Purves sets new standards and procedures for uncovering and resolving the inherent conflicts of the design process, and shows how investment in effective architecture is beneficial to all users. International case studies including examples from the US, Japan and South Africa provide technical detail and show what a good design can achieve * Comprehensive technical coverage of primary health care planning and design * Exploration of the design process, focusing on the relationship between the architectural and medical profession * Highly illustrated, including 8 colour plate sections
