Healthcare Design - January 2015 - 59
Space planning and healthcare interior design have come a
long way in 40 years, and veteran designer Jain Malkin has
tracked their progress through four editions of Medical and
Dental Space Planning. So where do we go from here?
The author weighs in By Kristin D. Zeit
WITH A PROLIFIC output of books, articles, and presentations-in addition to the indelible
design stamp she's left on numerous healthcare facility projects, large and small-Jain
Malkin is one of the best-known and most respected experts in the healthcare design
field, particularly when it comes to evidence-based design. Her book Hospital Interior
Architecture, published in 1992, was the first to propose a research-based approach to
design. And her very first work, Medical and Dental Space Planning (first published in
1982), is now in its fourth edition-clocking in at almost 700 pages and updated with
"95 percent new material," according to the author herself.
That's not hard to believe, considering the last edition came out in 2002, and the
healthcare landscape has changed just a bit since then. But change is something Malkin
is used to, having started her healthcare design career in 1970, when there was very little
to go on in terms of healthcare-specific design guidelines. At that time, she spent a year
doing field research, going into hospitals and trying to observe facility operations as if she were a patient. "My degree in psychology
prepared me well for this and also made me very comfortable reading research," Malkin told Healthcare Design in a 2012 interview. "I came away with hundreds of photos and many pages of notes and interviews by the end of that year. I spent another year
visiting physicians' offices, observing flow, asking lots of questions, and taking many photos."
Malkin closed her eponymous design firm in 2012, but she remains very active in the industry as a consultant, writer, and
speaker. Healthcare Design spoke with Malkin (who sits on our editorial advisory board) about the new edition of Medical and Dental Space Planning, to take her pulse on the industry's current challenges and discuss where everything may be headed.
