Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of a new initiative: Care+Design.
Created to connect architects and designers with healthcare professionals, researchers, policy-makers, frontline workers, and patient communities, Care+Design is a platform that activates key conversations and meetings that can shape a better future for tomorrow’s care environments – an issue of critical importance in Canada.
Today’s healthcare space struggles with being outpaced by the accelerations of technology, the climate crisis, service and resource scarcity, applying uniform ideas to diverse contexts and populations, and many other challenges. As a response, this initiative seeks to create an exploratory space for dialogue around generating ideas and conceiving designs around what the healthcare sector needs.
Driven by the vision and expertise of our colleagues Antoine Buisseret and Martin St-Onge and their transdisciplinary work with team from all of our firm’s disciplines, Care+Design will have a wide mandate, ranging from thought leadership and published works on the future of healthcare to panels of expertise, roundtables, and collaborations.
With the goal of redefining and refining the role space plays in the healing process and issues of well-being, diversity, and vulnerability in the design of tomorrow’s care environments.
Stay tuned as we roll out Care+Design in the coming months!
