Pre-tender hospital simulation using naive diagrams as models

Authors:   Gabriel Wurzer, Wolfgang Lorenz, Manfred Pferzinger

Abstract

Hospital simulation has so-far concentrated on late phases of architectural planning, in which the design is already fully formulated and undergoes optimization. This paper moves into the exactly opposite direction - it tries to embed simulation into the earliest phase imaginable, which, interestingly, is well before any architectural planning occurs The pre-tender work that is done by or on behalf of the client, using naïve diagrams based on interviews with the medical staff as models.
