Abstract
This design project explores the expanded societal role of a med-tech faculty amidst global health decline and increasing hospital burdens. Beyond developing biomedical innovations, the project proposes rethinking (semi)public buildings to actively promote a healthy lifestyle. It envisions a med-tech faculty that not only focuses on curing diseases but also on preventing them, integrating preventive healthcare into the community fabric.
