Advancing Cancer Care and Breaking Barriers

2/3/2023

 
Picture
Tomorrow, February 4th, is World Cancer Day. TGB is dedicated to healthcare architecture, and we stand with survivors, fighters, and the loved ones of those who have passed from cancer. Cancer has had many advances in treatment and the earlier it is identified the higher the chances of survival. With the technology advancements, cancer is still the second leading cause of deaths in the United States in 2020 according to the CDC. A large part of this is due to disparities in treatment and overall awareness of cancer and preventative care.

As an architecture firm that creates healing spaces for cancer patients and families, we listen to understand the changing technology, community needs, and environmental factors that affect patients' health. TGB understands that healthcare should reflect the community it serves, and we seek out healthcare organizations that structure their system to meet the needs of minorities that are underserved.

We were excited to be at the ribbon cutting of Mason Health Rehab Services relocation to their new home in the newly named Cedar Building in December. With more than 7,000SF, the new space features a larger waiting room, with space for both pediatrics and adult patients, more aerobic equipment for adults which will reduce wait times, three private physical therapy evaluation rooms, and new special equipment to treat patients with vertigo. The pediatric treatment spaces will allow more flexibility in scheduling and treating pediatric patients. A special thank you to the design, project management, and construction teams of OAC Services, Skanska, P2S, Wood Harbinger, and PCS Structural Solutions.​

UWMC Oncology Linear Accelerator & CT Complete

12/5/2022

 
We are proud to share our completed project for the University of Washington Medical Center Montlake Radiation Oncology Linear Accelerator and CT renovation with Lease Crutcher Lewis. The project was challenged with limited space and new added requirements for lead shielding. TGB’s modeling visualized and coordinated obstacles to meet these infrastructure requirements while creating a beautiful space for patients and medical staff. While we wish the need for spaces like these wasn't in such high demand, we're pleased to support UW in helping to heal their patients.

TGB's First Obliteride

8/19/2022

 
In honor of those who currently are or have battled cancer
Picture
In spirit of community engagement and giving back to our broader healthcare community,
TGB participated in our first Obliteride event this year to raise money for the great cancer research
at Fred Hutch. Thanks to the support of our network, our team raised over $5,000 for Fred Hutch
and their cancer research. We rode and walked in honor of the (too) many loved ones in our lives
that are currently battling cancer, have survived cancer, or that we've lost to cancer. There's still time
to donate if you'd like to contribute to finding a cure and supporting those that are or have
​battled cancer.

Getting Into The Weeds

8/12/2022

 
TGB's volunteering experience at 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living
We had a wonderful time working on the farm today as volunteers for 21 Acres Center for Local
Food and Sustainable Living. They are a regenerative farm that is located in Woodinville and we
​were tasked with weeding around their squashes! Look through to see us feed their goats!

The Regenerative Designer’s Mindset

4/7/2022

 
RIAS Quarterly | Summer 2021 Edition | Rural Architecture
Picture
"The mindset of a regenerative designer is first and foremost to focus on creating conditions for health and potential. Outcomes and performance become a by-product of a healthy system."
​
Drawing from the wisdom of living systems and stories of regenerative potential from White Oak Pastures, Reviveolution, and the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, nRhythm and TGB Architects explore the role of a regenerative designer and how this applies to the built environment.

Regeneration is becoming a hot topic in many industries. But regeneration is not just the latest trend. It's a process and approach rooted deeply in a systemic view of life. It's an approach that recognizes that our current way of designing and managing systems is leading to degradation of soils, souls, and society and that we need a new approach.​

In this article, you'll discover:
  • How systemic issues like burnout, disengagement, inequity, and climate change are all rooted in the underlying paradigms of how we choose to design
  • How shifting from a mechanistic to a living systems approach to design can regenerate potential on land and in social systems
  • How regeneration can be applied to architecture and the built environment
  • What each of us can do to shift our mindsets, behaviors, and practices​
