The ongoing and rapidly evolving scientific and technological progress in the health and social care sectors (such as genetic research, predictive medicine, and the integration of research and training with clinical practice), along with the current need to combine the social dimension with environmental and economic considerations, calls for a rethinking of the built environment — and, in particular, of healthcare architecture — based on principles such as flexibility, safety, comfort, and well-being, both indoors and outdoors. The Design & Health Lab stands out for its multidisciplinary and international perspective. This diversity of expertise and backgrounds enables the lab to address complex challenges at the intersection of design and health, delivering innovative, experience-based, and practice-driven solutions. The team is composed of researchers, each bringing a unique perspective to key areas such as: – Urban Health, through studies and analyses aimed at improving the built environment; – Healthcare Design, focused on the study and evaluation of hospital and social-healthcare facilities; – Building Hygiene and Inclusive Design, with strategies aimed at creating healthy, user-friendly, and accessible environments.
