The Role of the Built Environment in Updating Design Requirements in the Post-Pandemic Scenario: a Case Study of Selected Diagnostic Facilities in Brazil

See http://tny.im/puk — This report aims to discuss the relations between the built environment and the patient’s health, considering the context of the pandemic experienced since 2020. We assessed the results of a systematic literature review to create a theoretical framework. Based on that, we evaluated the performance of five diagnostic facilities sited in São Paulo, Brazil, during the occupation phase. These buildings share a similar design programme in a way that enables a systematic qualitative assessment. We organised the design requisites in a Table of Diagnostics and Recommendations. Based on the gathered evidence, we proposed reviewing the existing…
