Regenerate the healthcare building heritage to a new care model: the Houses of Health in Sardinia Region, Italy

The new Regional Healthcare Plan in Sardinia (2008) describes a territorial geography of health and social assistance based on new organizational models - the houses of Health - planning the requalification of the existing health care buildings stock. During the implementation phase, a number of problems come out due to economic and social obstacles and because of the difficulty of adapting the spatial and architectural characteristics of the existing buildings to the new functional model. Starting from the results of PRIN research, this paper illustrates a design tool to verify the residual quality of the building stock, as programming support for the functional adaptation and prediction of investments.
