Key Features of FaF-Architect at a Glance

The evaluation of architecture and design is based on a systematic analysis of architectural variables and their impact on health-related criteria. The assessment is carried out using a computational model within FaF-Architect, which delivers both quantitative and qualitative results along with prioritized recommendations – clearly visualized for ease of understanding. This is complemented by comparisons with best-practice models, individually tailored architectural planning, and continuous scientific development – for an evidence-based, practical improvement of spaces in healthcare environments.

Comprehensive variables and criteria

The software takes into account a wide range of categories of architectural variables — from spatial configuration to materials and colors, as well as furnishings and the ambient environment. These variables are analyzed in terms of their impact on various health criteria, including both physical and psychological aspects. The impacts are defined and modeled as nearly 450 interactions between the architectural variables and the health-related criteria.

Automated and precise analysis

The software uses mathematical algorithms to analyze architectural data automatically and precisely. This saves time, minimizes potential sources of error, and enables consistent analysis of numerous factors. The software delivers reliable results that support well-informed decision-making.

Quantitative evaluation

Each architectural variable is quantitatively assessed based on how positively or negatively it impacts health. The aggregated results highlight which areas are particularly beneficial or in need of improvement.

Qualitative and root cause analysis

In addition to quantitative assessment, the software provides in-depth qualitative insights. It analyzes how specific architectural variables – such as spatial design – directly influence residents’ well-being and identifies the underlying causes of certain effects.

Categorized and prioritized recommendations

The collected data is transmitted in real time to a database and visualized in a user-friendly software interface. Environmental factors are displayed in the form of charts and statistics. At the same time, analysis tools make it possible to identify trends and evaluate anomalies, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and assessment of the data.

Comparison with best-practice models

The analysis includes a comparison with established best-practice models to show the facility’s position within the healthcare sector. This provides valuable benchmarks for optimization and strengthens overall competitiveness.

Architectural planning for improvement

The results of the evaluations and gap analyses serve as a foundation for improvement within the healthcare facility. Based on the facility’s priorities and needs, Fact and Feeling then develops customized architectural planning. Fact and Feeling supports the healthcare facility through all project phases – from preliminary analysis and design planning to execution planning and implementation supervision. This ensures that the entire process – from evaluation and gap analysis to architectural planning and successful implementation – is seamlessly integrated and perfectly aligned with the facility’s objectives.

Continuous scientific and practice-oriented updates

The software is continuously updated with the latest scientific findings and industry best practices to keep the logic and interactions between architectural variables and health criteria up to date. By integrating current research and proven methods, it ensures a sound and contemporary analysis of architectural variables. This enables data-driven decision-making aligned with the latest developments in healthcare architecture and care facilities, consistently providing optimal, evidence-based recommendations for design and planning.

Flexible Web-Based Access

The FaF-Architect Software is built entirely on a web-based structure, enabling access from any device (desktop, tablet, or smartphone) that possesses an internet connection and a standard web browser.

◉ No Installation Required: Individuals utilizing the FaF-Architect Software are never required to download or install any applications or additional software. This streamlines the implementation process.

◉ Universal Accessibility: This online architecture effectively eliminates barriers related to physical location or specific device operating systems.

◉ Scalability for All: The platform is designed with no specific limit on the number of concurrent users, ensuring the FaF-Architect Software is highly scalable and capable of supporting large user bases.

Start a new assessment. It’s that simple

Getting started with FaF-Architect is quick and intuitive. In just four steps, you can launch a new architectural evaluation for your facility:

Case Name – A unique name is assigned to the new case in the field “Choose a name for your new case.”
Inventory Data Capture – The architectural specifications are systematically captured and provided in accordance with the defined classification structure.
Data Processing (Waiting for Result) – The FaF Architecture Software processes the submitted data to generate comprehensive assessment results.
Assessment Result – The final results are delivered and organized according to the classification structure of health and care outcomes.

Structured assessment categories – Form, Function & Meaning

The entire architectural environment is categorized into a structured system of variables. These variables are divided into three main categories: Form, Function, and Meaning. This structured input is based on scientific logic, but remains easy to navigate for the user.

Detailed input for deeper insights

FaF-Architect captures the full complexity of architectural environments through structured detail. Each subcategory includes multiple layers of input. This level of precision ensures that every relevant architectural condition is taken into account. What seems simple on the surface often reveals its impact through these small but powerful variables.

Scientifically backed results – visual, clear, and actionable

Once the questionnaire is submitted, FaF-Architect delivers a comprehensive overview of your architectural environment’s impact – grounded in the findings of scientific studies. The assessment results are organized into three outcome categories. Each category shows the total positive (green) and negative (red) effects triggered by architectural variables. This gives you a high-level view of how your environment currently supports – or challenges – health and well-being.

Transparency at every level – zoom into the details

The results aren’t just high-level. FaF-Architect breaks them down into clear categories and subcategories, showing the exact architectural effects – both positive and negative – in each area. Each element is visually highlighted:

🟢 for supportive effects

🔴 for harmful ones.

Full transparency – see what’s causing what

This is where the value of this software appears: At the most detailed level, you can see exactly which architectural features are influencing each health and care outcome — for better or worse. Each architectural variable is listed with a color-coded tag and clearly connected to the outcome it influences. This helps you not only understand the “what” — but also the “why.”
