Rosi Pachilova

Associate Rosi Pachilova is part of the Workplace Consultancy team at Foster + Partners – a group of designers, analysts and researchers that work with the architecture studios to help address the business objectives and changing requirements of clients. Rosi recently completed her PhD at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, where she studied the effect of ward layouts on work process and communication patterns of healthcare providers, and the subsequent effects on quality of care.

For several years, Rosi Pachilova has been looking into and building upon the tools we use to analyse and configure layouts for our built environment. Together with Dr Kerstin Sailer, a reader in Social and Spatial Networks at the Space Syntax Laboratory, UCL, she has developed a tool that can assess spatial proposals for their impact on the quality of care of healthcare providers. In 2019, their work was awarded the RIBA President’s Award for Research in the Building in Quality category.
