For several years, Rosi Pachilova has been looking into and building upon the tools we use to analyse and configure layouts for our built environment. Together with Dr Kerstin Sailer, a reader in Social and Spatial Networks at the Space Syntax Laboratory, UCL, she has developed a tool that can assess spatial proposals for their impact on the quality of care of healthcare providers. In 2019, their work was awarded the RIBA President’s Award for Research in the Building in Quality category.
+Plus is the new online journal from global architecture firm Foster + Partners. +Plus provides a forum for non-traditional stories and case studies of the innovation and processes that reinforce the diverse projects in the practice, as well as a platform for industry discussion. The articles – to be released monthly, with a select few shared here on ArchDaily – offer insight into the ideas that underpin the practice’s work, creating connections between projects and the wider issues that affect the built environment today.
