BJAC Releases Podcast On Health Care Design Practice Differences In The United States And China

Managing Principal Architect Lou Jurkowski Discusses Observations From Recent Trip To China

2012-04-05

RALEIGH, NC, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dan Fields, AIA, principal and CMO at BJAC, pa (http://www.bjac.com), an architectural firm offering professional services for specialized, complex institutional projects, has announced the release of a podcast on Chinese perceptions of U.S. health care design. In the podcast, Managing Principal Lou Jurkowski, FAIA, LEED AP, discusses U.S. and Chinese models of health care building and facility design. Jurkowski, who recently traveled with a delegation from North Carolina to foster trade and exchange between China and the state, reflects on the differences in design practices as well as what each nation can learn from the other for excelling in outcomes and standards while maintaining cutting-edge design. This podcast can be found at: http://bjac.com/podcasts.php.

QUOTES:
"From what I experienced on my trip, the Chinese want to emulate anything American - fashion, automobiles, furniture, retail - and the same can be said for architecture and health care design," said Jurkowski. "U.S. health care design is considered a model for much of the world, but the building climate in China offers experimental and groundbreaking design opportunities, so we have the opportunity to work together to use our evidence-based criteria and their speed and agility in design to develop a new level of excellence in healthcare design."
