Abstract

[No abstract - first paragraph of editorial]

“Form follows function” has always been a strong concept in architectural design. In a facility such as a hospital, however, form and design go beyond aesthetics. The layout and functionality of these buildings shape how care is delivered, how patients experience their stay, and how confidently clinical teams can respond when every minute matters.
