Abstract Characterized by high complexity, the design of a healthcare building must ensure functionality and operational efficiency to the building through spaces that support healthcare activities. This is even more prominent in countries as Brazil, where healthcare services are deficient, especially in the public sphere. Therefore, a broad knowledge on users and service flows and activities, which architects seldom have, is required. Given the complexity of healthcare buildings, the co-design with users can contribute to the redesign of healthcare activities and enable architects to align the design of physical space with that of services, which increases the supply and quality of services to the population. However, methods and tools to enable the co-design, by means of a common language for architects and users, are still incipient, which hinders the spread of this approach. At the same time, the increasing use of BIM platform for building design has shown great advantages to the design process, such as reducing time and costs, early and accurate view of the design decisions, early collaboration of different stakeholders and increased process efficiency. The problem of this research lies in the lack of tools for enabling the co-design in the design process of healthcare buildings, as a perspective to bring knowledge about the use of the building to the design stage, and thus increase the adequacy of building and use. This research aims at proposing an innovative solution, by addressing the Design Science Research (DSR). As a solution, it is proposed the development, construction and testing of a physical tool to support the co-design with users, that can be integrated to BIM by technologies such as bar codes or Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID). | |
