“…15 This realization has led to several initiatives at the intersection of architecture and medicine. 16 However, the new paradigm shift is to operationalize the environment to a therapeutic tool which may help to reduce stress, pain, agitation and anxiety, and, specifically, enhance recovery.…”

Delirium, the most common form of acute brain dysfunction affecting up to 80% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, has been shown to predict long-term cognitive impairment, one of the domains in “Post-ICU Syndrome” (PICS). The ICU environment affects several potentially modifiable risk factors for delirium, such as disorientation and disruption, of the sleep–wake cycle. Innovative solutions aim to transform standard concepts of ICU room design to limit potential stressors, and utilizing the patient care space as a treatment tool, exerting positive, therapeutic effects. The main areas affected by most architectural and interior design modifications are sound environment, light control, floor planning, and room arrangement. Implementation of corresponding solutions is challenging considering the significant medical and technical demands of ICUs. This article discusses innovative concepts and promising approaches in ICU design that may be used to prevent stress and to support the healing process of patients, potentially limiting the impact of delirium and PICS.

“…Strategic use of the arts can create a sense of welcome, choice, control and beauty conducive to improved health and wellbeing. 34,35 Similarly, the arts can be used to illuminate the experience of the person who is ill (sometimes literally giving a non-verbal client a language through which to express themselves) and support clinicians in expressing or reflecting on their own experiences. The broad range of films and novels on health themes attests to the power of the arts as a means of reflection on what it is to be human and to be ill. 36,37 The processes for ensuring congruence between arts and health and clinical care and environments is as yet relatively unformed but ideally should seek to better understand the arts, culture and leisure engagement of patients: helpful guidance on curatorship in arts and health is emerging.…”

Although the medical humanities are increasingly well established in terms of scholarly research and undergraduate medical education, a notable defi cit has been its low profi le in postgraduate training and continuing professional development (CPD). We undertook to develop a programme in the medical humanities to address the defi cit in CPD and specialist training, working with colleagues in a range of colleges and disciplines in Ireland. We describe the fi rst element, a masterclass embedded in a series devoted to more traditionally recognised clinical aspects of CPD, webcast live to a range of hospitals across Ireland, whose focus was an introduction to the medical humanities by a panel of clinician scholars each of whom had published in peer-reviewed journals on the topic. Postgraduate colleges of medicine can play an important role in developing medical humanities strands in their postgraduate training and CPD activities. Given the relative novelty of developing postgraduate training and CPD in medical humanities, it may be worthwhile developing an intercollegiate platform among the wider range of medical colleges in the British Isles to jointly develop the most effective mechanisms to further propagate medical humanities and leverage the expertise of a larger pool of faculty in medical humanities.

“…It puts forward the corresponding application mode of building cost management in different stages of building engineering. In [14], the authors study the different applications of assembly projects, which are based on BIM technology. In [15,16], the authors study the application of BIM technology in prefabricated buildings and have concluded that BIM technology is a powerful supporting tool to develop prefabricated [17] buildings.…”

The sustainable design that can consume minimal energy is the need of the hour. It has become a mainstream architectural design aim in recent years as a result of global environmental concerns. In light of global climate change, sustainable development is imperative to consider during architectural designs of the buildings and mega infrastructural projects. All the nations are developing assembly building tools widely to speed up the construction, but the material and design impact a lot, while we calculate the environmental factors such as carbon emissions. Assembly building component automation system is often used to complete components processing and to deliver the best project, which considers environmental concerns. The construction processing involves many factors such as carbon emission, energy consumption, waste management, and solar-based energy generation to make the overall project sustainable for energy. Therefore, this paper proposes a BIM-based (Building Information Modeling) assembly building component automation system targeted at adopting sustainability principles in the construction sector, which can consider various factors for maintaining eco-friendly environment. The BIM model of the assembled building components is designed and tested in a simulated environment. The system test result shows that the error rate of component design in this system is lower than that of the other two automation systems taken up for the comparative study and the proposed process is more stable, faster, and eco-friendly. Therefore, the design result of the assembly building component automation system based on BIM technology is scientific and effective for sustainable development.
