comp-engineer Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Hi, I am a computer scientist but interested in architecture sections for hospitals. particularilly for cancer hospitals. Could you please help me as to find resources and/or autocad examples? Regards, Mok Quote
welldriller Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Hi comp-engineer: Don't know if this will help or not but you can take a look for yourself www.bibilocad.com/library/cancer-prevention-center_42509 www.cad-architect.net/beta_sub/beta_drawings_2-hospital.html www.007cad.com/.../architectural/hospital-cad-drawings.html I did not check the above URLs -- let me know if they do not work hope that it will be of help Quote
comp-engineer Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Hi, unfortunately the three links didn't work with me Thank you Quote
welldriller Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) You are correct -- they did not work for me either Well lets do it the hard way. type the following URL's in the search window I have used Internet Explorer & firefox. For some reason it will not work by using a link here in the forum. As you already know you will have to add the www. in front of the below list. bibiliocad.com/library/cancer-prevention-center_42509 [/url] 007cad.com/.../architectural/hospital-cad-drawings.html cad-architect.net/beta_sub/beta_drawings_2-hospital.html this worked for me Hope this helps and let me know if it does not work Be back in a minute or two this did not work form the forum Edited March 20, 2013 by welldriller to correct URL information Quote
comp-engineer Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Thank you. It worked with me now. I will try (with help of my borther who is architect. student) to get something . Quote
ReMark Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 What is this for? How does one distinguish between a general hospital and one specializing in cancer treatment just by looking at a building cross section? Quote
cadvision Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 was just going to ask that. I would imagine they vary from hospital to hospital depending on the floor plan. Guess you could search for "oncology design standards" From our family involvement her in New Zealand, the oncology at our local hospital was consultation only, so standard exam room/office. Tests were done in X-Ray/CT/MRI which is in different area. Treatment like radiation was done at a different hospital, Chemo is bit like a blood doner room. Armchairs and drips. Quote

Could you please help me as to find resources and/or autocad examples? Regards, Mok I was only trying to find sightsd where he could get ideas from I did not take the word particularly as meaning only. and the Bibiliocad site did say cancer-prevention-center. If I did wrong please tell me so, so that I will not do it again. Quote
welldriller Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Ok thank you I probablely have more free time then most on here -- therefor if I can do a search for anyone I will be glad to try. Quote
ReMark Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Search all you want but you are not going to find a "one size fits all" solution. Anyway, I have yet to hear what the major differences would be between a "general purpose hospital" and one that caters solely to cancer patients. I think either comp-engineer does not know or has already lost interest. Quote
RobDraw Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Most hospitals have wings that have been designed for dealing with particular kinds of illnesses or patients and have certain requirements for those fields. A quick search for cancer centers in your area reveals quite a few. For example, one of the goals of these places is to make the patients as comfortable as possible so a lot of attention is put on aesthetics. It would take a trained eye to see the differences, though. Quote
