The Student (Rasha Nuri Abbas) at the Department of Architecture has been granted M.Sc. degree on her thesis titled “Flexibility in the Design of Operation Room: Local Hospitals- Study Case "
The study focuses on surgical spaces because it represents the core of the building of hospitals, both "economically" and "technically" in which scientific progress and technological development require space to space to embody innovations in integrated surgical performance aiming at saving humanity.
According to the establishment of legislative laws , strict considerations of surgical spaces and permanent change in scientific progress in the field of surgery,
the concept of flexibility is an essential requirement in the design of contemporary surgical spaces is the importance of change in order to keep update of that development, which makes the concept of flexibility a "fundamental" requirement in the design of contemporary surgical spaces.
Where the research formulated its research problem as "lack of knowledge” regarding the basic vocabulary and indicators to achieve flexibility in the design system of the pavilion and surgical space designed according to modern international standards, and the mechanisms by applying those words within the development of local society."
The theoretical framework consisted of four main items: the main indicators in in achieving the flexibility of the design system of the surgical parlor , the strategies and mechanisms to achieve flexibility in the design system, the objectives of achieving flexibility in the design system and flexible surgical space.
The research aims to define flexible surgical spaces: It is an integrated design system responds to the circumstances of the forces of change depending on the characteristics of its systems .It is the formative functional system adapted for career change ,within physical structure viable transformation and has the ability of expansion in addition to the social and interactive system with unexpected circumstances able to solve the intractable aspects.
