عنوان المقالة:استخدام تقنية قواعد تركيب الفضاء لتعزيز الاتصال البصري في المستشفيات Using Space Syntax Technique to Enhance Visual Connectivity in Hospitals
The design of healthcare buildings as hospitals is a rather complex architectural task and is being consideredas projects of high cost, but indispensable, given their role in preserving human health. The sustainabilityof services offered by healthcare projects is a paramount necessity for human societies; therefore, in addition to architectural standards applied in a design process, new tools are introduced by the space syntax community in the form of specified programs to provide an advanced method of assessing the effectiveness of any design configuration. This research aims to evaluate the effect of applying the software of (Depth map X) on a selected new hospital design to measure the nature of visual communication between the different wards of the most active floor (the ground floor) and the connectivity of various kinetic systems of the ground floor with the main entrances. The paper identifies the efficiency of the hospital performances in terms of visual connectivity. It also shows that a slight change made in the hospital configuration in the design alternatives could lead to asignificant impact on the visual relationship between the hospital domains
