Speculative design offer ways for architects and researchers to imagine new possibilities for design that go beyond the visions of EBD, enabling us to \u2018contemplate solutions that would not otherwise be justifiable\u2019 (146) while challenging design choices that reinforce the status quo without adequately considering their necessity nor their ramifications, thus limiting innovation. McLaughlan and Pert examine two speculative projects, \u201cThe Fable Hospital\u201d by Imogen Siberry and \u201cNeverland\u201d by Ding Yu, to show how their alternative conceptions of the entrances and waiting spaces of a hospital critique existing design choices that patronise young patients, disingenuously elide the exceptional aspects of the hospital space and isolate young patients from one another. Taking seriously the importance of patient-centred design, these speculative forays into the possibilities for the hospital space \u2018attempt to match the emotional intensity that can accompany a hospital visit\u2019 (151).<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article on the <em>Medical Humanities<\/em> Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/mh.bmj.com\/content\/44\/3\/146\">website<\/a>.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evidence-based design (EBD), a method of design that is derived from evidence-based medicine, might at first seem a far-cry from the concerns of speculative design, but in their article \u201cEvidence and Speculation: Reimagining Approaches to Architecture and Research within the Paediatric Hospital,\u201d Rebecca McLaughlan and Alan Pert show that speculative design functions in ways that [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/2018\/11\/01\/evidence-and-speculation-reimagining-approaches-to-architecture-and-research-within-the-paediatric-hospital\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15028],"tags":[15044],"class_list":["post-1703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-journal-announcements","tag-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
