This volume constitutes a "non-manual manual" for the architectural design of Community Health Centers (CHC), the outcome of a two-year research project conducted by the UAL – Urban and Architectural Laboratory of the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Parma within the framework of the PNRR ECOSISTER project. Starting from the observation of a substantial absence of typological and formal reflection around the spaces of decentralized territorial healthcare — an absence made even more urgent by the crisis of hospital-centred systems accelerated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and by the impetus provided by Ministerial Decree no. 77/2022 — the volume proposes design direction models for the architectural and urban design of proximity social-health facilities, redefined by the authors as Community Health Centers to underline their public, collective, and civic nature. The research is structured in eight chapters: following a critical survey of the regulatory and conceptual evolution from Health House to Community House to CHC, the volume develops a re-reading of the historical typologies of care spaces from the Greek Asklepeion to the twentieth-century plate hospital; defines functional models according to the Spoke/Hub/SuperHub hierarchy; elaborates an original typological taxonomy for single-, two- and multi-storey layouts articulated across three dimensional categories; analyses the components of the typological device (reception spaces, waiting areas, connections, operational spaces, green areas); addresses signage and wayfinding; proposes criteria for the identification of CHC Places at the territorial and urban scale down to the macro-block scale and the Neighborhood Assistance Points (NAP); and concludes with an international reference case study survey. The volume is addressed both to the designer and to the public client, with the aim of restoring to architectural and spatial quality a decisive role in the construction of a territorial healthcare system capable of generating urban centrality and community wellbeing.
Il volume costituisce un "manuale non-manuale" per la progettazione architettonica dei Centri di Salute Comunitaria (CSC), esito di una ricerca biennale condotta dallo UAL – Urban and Architectural Laboratory del Dipartimento di Ingegneria e Architettura dell'Università di Parma nell'ambito del progetto PNRR ECOSISTER. Partendo dalla constatazione di una sostanziale assenza di riflessione tipologica e formale intorno agli spazi della sanità territoriale decentrata — assenza resa ancora più urgente dalla crisi dei sistemi ospedale-centrici accelerata dalla pandemia da SARS-CoV-2 e dal rilancio operato dal DM n. 77/2022 — il volume propone modelli di indirizzo per la progettazione architettonica e urbana delle strutture socio-sanitarie di prossimità, ridefinite dagli autori come Centri di Salute Comunitaria per sottolinearne la natura pubblica, collettiva e civile. La ricerca si articola in otto capitoli: dopo una ricognizione critica sull'evoluzione normativa e concettuale dalla Casa della Salute alla Casa della Comunità fino al CSC, il volume sviluppa una rilettura delle tipologie storiche degli spazi di cura dall'Asklepeion greco all'ospedale a piastra del Novecento; definisce i modelli funzionali secondo la gerarchia Spoke/Hub/SuperHub; elabora una tassonomia tipologica originale per impianti mono, bi e multipiano articolata nelle tre categorie dimensionali; analizza le componenti del congegno tipologico (spazi di accoglienza, attesa, connessioni, spazi operativi, verde); affronta il tema della segnaletica e del wayfinding; propone criteri per l'individuazione dei Luoghi-CSC alla scala territoriale e urbana fino alla scala del macroisolato e dei Punti di Assistenza Sotto Casa (PASC); e conclude con una casistica internazionale di riferimento. Il volume si rivolge sia al progettista che alla committenza pubblica, con l'obiettivo di restituire alla qualità architettonica e spaziale un ruolo determinante nella costruzione di una sanità di territorio capace di generare centralità urbana e benessere comunitario.

Abstract
This volume constitutes a "non-manual manual" for the architectural design of Community Health Centers (CHC), the outcome of a two-year research project conducted by the UAL – Urban and Architectural Laboratory of the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Parma within the framework of the PNRR ECOSISTER project. Starting from the observation of a substantial absence of typological and formal reflection around the spaces of decentralized territorial healthcare — an absence made even more urgent by the crisis of hospital-centred systems accelerated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and by the impetus provided by Ministerial Decree no. 77/2022 — the volume proposes design direction models for the architectural and urban design of proximity social-health facilities, redefined by the authors as Community Health Centers to underline their public, collective, and civic nature. The research is structured in eight chapters: following a critical survey of the regulatory and conceptual evolution from Health House to Community House to CHC, the volume develops a re-reading of the historical typologies of care spaces from the Greek Asklepeion to the twentieth-century plate hospital; defines functional models according to the Spoke/Hub/SuperHub hierarchy; elaborates an original typological taxonomy for single-, two- and multi-storey layouts articulated across three dimensional categories; analyses the components of the typological device (reception spaces, waiting areas, connections, operational spaces, green areas); addresses signage and wayfinding; proposes criteria for the identification of CHC Places at the territorial and urban scale down to the macro-block scale and the Neighborhood Assistance Points (NAP); and concludes with an international reference case study survey.
