A colorful, whimsical space that appeals to all ages welcomes patients and families at the PICU in New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York. The hospital's literary theme, Learning through Life, was brought to life as The Tickle Tree and If You Hold a Seed stories play out across soffits, footwalls and corridors.

Jessie McNeese, a former Graphic Designer with Array Architects, created easy-to-comprehend visual designs, such as environmental graphics and signage, that inform patients, families, physicians and staff of daily stats. To ensure effective communication among patients, caregivers and visitors, Jessie worked with hospital staff to blend the client's ideas for text and imagery with the variables of the patient board's use, size and visibility. The resulting patient boards create an opportunity to educate and engage patients and families, as well as enhance communication and experience between all who enter the space.

iGlobal Healthcare Summit - Interview with Jeffrey Drucker

It is during the early architectural design phases of a project that the conceptual framework, parameters for opportunity and design approach /vision are established. The design process at this stage is inherently intense and iterative, requiring both the design team and their tools of creation to be nimble yet accurate. It is critical to the efficiency of the design process that the integrity of the information generated be useful and carried through to the later phases of the project, with as little ‘rework’ as possible. Our design teams at Array Architects have adopted the use of Autodesk Formit in combination with Autodesk Revit as some of the key tools we employ to generate ideas and content for projects. The flexibility of these tools allows for both levity of process and accuracy of communication through real-time modeling, analysis, visualization and material research.

Designing on the Go with Tony Caputo

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is much more than taking high resolution pictures with many slices so a physician or radiologist can diagnose a medical condition and determine the best treatment path. Listen to technical expert Jason Lee explain what is going on behind, underneath and above the equipment that you can see from the control room.
