ABSTRACT

This paper investigates on space syntax depth map software case studies of ICU design for four plan typologies, for investigation of the nurse station location, the layout design for the typology is been analyses on the space syntax program. There is a vacuum in the field of the Nurse Station location and ICU spatial composition. Since Evidence-Based Design (EBD) is the deliberately attempting to base ICU layout building decisions on the best available evidence with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes . The aim of this paper is that the hospitals in Karachi should have increased of number of single room accommodation. Moreover the typical ICUs is suggested to be to larger bed spaces = 20 meter square. ICUs may have 10-20% single rooms A healing environment is the result of a design that has demonstrated measurable improvements in the physical and/or psychological states of patients and/or staff, physicians, and visitors. To identify the mechanisms by which sun light impacts child human health and performance and review the literature linking daylight with health outcomes in Pakistan healthcare settings. A window may provide variable degree of comfort for hospital buildings as that of high energy consumption hospitals. Window is a physical aspect in hospital design which creates a healing environment. This paper validates the role of daylight on patients satisfaction.
