Description
Summary:BackgroundAcross recent and emerging redevelopment projects, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has learned the value of integrating art into clinical design briefs and early design development, to ensure the delivery of the best possible environment that enhances the experience of the hospital for the child and their family. This poster will highlight specific case studies from the GOSH redevelopment masterplan to demonstrate how we have attempted to ensure that art is an early consideration in all projects.MethodsThe necessity of integrating requirements for art into the clinical brief will be presented. This approach ensures that the required infrastructure and engineering are incorporated into the design at the earliest opportunity to support proposed art installations and ensure that changes and additional cost are avoided. The development of an art strategy and the benefits of its alignment with the clinical design brief will be explored. Consideration will be given to the importance of the Arts and Healthcare Planning teams working closely together and sharing a vision of how the finished building will look and feel.ConclusionThere will be a discussion of strategies for engaging with children, young people, and their families in order to consult on art installations and their relevance to the overarching facility design. Funding for art in the hospital will be briefly explored as well as strategies for ensuring that this funding is protected for the specific function of delivering the arts programme. Specific GOSH projects will be used as case studies, including the Mittal Children’s Medical Centre and the Sight and Sound Centre.
