Process Flow and Implementation Approach
A precise diagnosis begins with a complete assessment of the status quo. In this initial phase, Fact & Feeling aggregates all relevant architectural parameters of the facility. We do not rely on a single source; instead, we merge data from multiple resources to obtain a holistic picture.
This primarily includes the digitization and evaluation of existing architectural plans (floor plans, sections), the analysis of material and equipment lists, and, where necessary, detailed on-site inspections to validate inventory data. Additionally, qualitative data, such as usage profiles and operational workflows, can be integrated. The goal is to transform the physical space into a structured data model containing all geometric, material, and atmospheric variables. This "Deep Data" foundation is critical, as missing input information in later phases could lead to skewed analytical results. Here, we establish the digital foundation for all subsequent calculations.
Once the database is established, the Fact & Feeling software takes over the processing. In this phase, static data points are transformed into dynamic information. Our algorithmic engine scans the created model and checks hundreds of variables for their health relevance.
Unlike a manual audit, which often proceeds linearly, the software evaluates the complex interdependencies between factors. It examines how architectural properties and material choices mutually influence one another. Mathematical models are utilized here: composite effects are calculated, and non-linear interactions are verified. The system identifies not only obvious deficiencies but also hidden risk factors that only emerge through the comb
The evaluation data is then translated into understandable, actionable insights. In this analytical phase, we compare the determined values with scientific standards and best-practice models (Gap Analysis). We identify the gap between the current state of the facility and the target state of optimal healthcare architecture.
The analysis prioritizes the results: Which deficits have the greatest negative impact on patients and staff? Where do untapped potentials lie? We create detailed profiles for different areas—from patient rooms and therapy zones to staff and workspaces. This phase provides the strategic roadmap. It demonstrates not only that something needs improvement, but why, and exactly where an intervention will deliver the highest return on investment regarding health and well-being.
Knowledge alone does not transform spaces. In the final level, we transform analytical insights into built reality. Fact & Feeling acts here as a specialized architectural partner. Based on the gap analysis, we develop concrete renovation or remodeling plans.
This encompasses all traditional architectural service phases, but with a data-driven focus: from design planning and 3D visualizations—which make the impact of the measures tangible in advance—to executive planning. Furthermore, we accompany the construction phase to ensure that the defined qualities are not diluted by execution errors. We monitor material selection and structural implementation so that the theoretical optimization potential is fully realized in the physical environment. Thus, the circle closes—from data acquisition to the finished, healing environment.
