Abstract

The green hospital buildings have received lots of attention today. Given that treatment centers have a complex infrastructure, the issue of sustainability in this building is more discussed for maximum efficiency and minimum energy loss. Many factors contribute to achieve such issue with regionalism as one of them. When it comes to regionalism, one of the factors whose presence is very important is the environment. The balance of the man-made artificial environment with the natural environment is one of the important goals of the green landscape in relation to the construction debate. Creating a path to align man-made structures with nature and the environment, which can lead to greater stability, both in relation to the artificial environment and the natural environment. The more this balance moves towards interaction, the greater the stability. The current paper aims at investigating the impact level of this component on green hospitals by examining regionalism and its features, and thus, points to the need to link these two issues by analyzing the expert’s opinion. This is a qualitative, analytical-interpretive paper and the results indicate that the discussion of regionalism in the green hospitals and adaptation of this building to the climate has a significant role in aligning it with the region and the cultural context.
