AHC Fall 2022 | Transitioning Design Priorities: Clinicians, Patients & Our Earth

The AHC Fall Conference is a full-day education event for the healthcare design and construction industry in the Pacific Northwest.

This year’s AIA AHC Fall Event includes one day of interdisciplinary presentations, design case studies, and conversations around how we think about the impacts of our design work.  While designing for the patient is clearly a central driver of the work we do, there have been more discussions over the past two years about designing for the caregiver, designing for our communities and how our work impacts the environment.  Our Fall Conference this year will explore these other critical design drivers and how we as designers are integrating these perspectives into our design processes.

Join AIA Seattle’s Architecture for Health Committee on November 10, 2022 (8:30 am-4:30 pm PT) for Transitioning Design Priorities: Clinicians, Patients & Our Earth.
