The Continuum Center for Health and Healing Location 245 Fifth Avenue, 2+3 Floors New York, NY 10016

Philosophy The Continuum Center for Health and Healing is part of a fundamental change in the way health care is delivered and serves as a national model for integrative medical care. We contribute to this evolution through collaborative clinical care practice, professional and consumer education programs and scientific research. The Center will work to broaden the meaning of healing and preventive health care by providing the best of Western scientific medicine with the most effective expanded healing approaches including indigenous medicine practice. The Center’s staff is committed to relationship-centered care and a collaborative working environment. This approach considers the individual’s physical, psychosocial, spiritual, environmental and cultural needs in order to support healing on all levels.

The Center has gathered a team of experienced practitioners from around the country. Together we are forming a new kind of group practice where conventional physicians trained in integrative approaches therapies and seasoned holistic practitioners work together in collaboration and community. For all of us, the chance to offer quality, integrative care in this healing setting is the realization of a long term goal, actualized through many years of hard work and dedication to this shared vision. Now is the time for a health care system that genuinely meets people needs.

Services at the Center Today many men and women are looking beyond conventional medicine alone to keep themselves well. Increasingly their choices include integrative approaches which address the mind, body and spirit in restoring health. At the Continuum Center for Health and Healing we stand at the forefront of this evolution in healthcare — helping to develop a new type of medicine that combines the best of conventional medicine, traditional indigenous medicine and expanded healing approaches. We find patients benefit most when working in partnership with their health care provider — we value our patients’ experience and voice.

Environmental Health & Design The architectural design of the Continuum Center for Health and Healing enhances the patients’ physical, emotional and spiritual resources through responsive planning, selection of environmentally friendly materials, and the creation of a distinctive, non-traditional healing environment. The ancient principles of feng shui were utilized in the initial planning of the Center. The well-known (architecturally trained) Feng Shui master Alex Stark worked closely with the architectural firm of Guenther Petrarca, a leader in green design and the use of eco-sensitive materials. This collaboration ensured that construction and design principles optimized the use of the spaces’ potential. The Center based its interior layout on the “art of placement” specific to ancient Chinese beliefs to improve energy flow through the interior. The consultation, examination and therapy rooms have been placed north to promote patient healing and tranquility while staff areas located south will benefit from harmonious internal communication. East placement provides the waiting room pleasure and connectivity while OB/GYN rooms situated to the west represent new beginnings. Rooms and areas placed south west and southeast as well as north west and northeast also symbolize and foster inner growth and outer potential. Feng Shui also suggests that living beings should live harmoniously with each other as well as with elements in nature. Therefore, the elements used in decorating the interior space have been chosen to reflect this idea. Soft, functional lighting with soothing sounds play integral parts in the Center’s organic composition. The auditory and visual input also work towards a calming effect on all those who enter the Center.

The Center’s overall space and internal structures have been constructed to be the antithesis of the mainstream waiting room: interactive and relaxing. Unlike traditional waiting rooms the Center’s waiting area serves as a multifunctional space for patients to learn and interact with one another. A large meeting table for group-learning, a resource area, individual lounge seats, and web-ready computer stations are among the amenities available to patients to optimize their time before an appointment. In addition, the reception area is clearly separated from the patients’ waiting area in a circular room that is easily accessible but out of direct view. Natural and earth-friendly materials that are also non-toxic have been used throughout the Center. Building elements, including paints, finishes, floor and wall materials, used in The Center’s Design and Construction were carefully chosen with consistent attention to environmental responsibility. Furniture materials, upholstery, and other fabrics also further reflect the Center’s commitment to environmentally conscious choices.

Center Design and Construction The selection of building materials and installation methods was made to optimize indoor air quality and environmental responsibility. Material selections (flooring, paint, adhesives, and cabinet substrates) eliminate use of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds. Carpet is minimized; major flooring materials are cork and linoleum (natural, biodegradable products). Fabric selection focuses on the use of recycled and compostable materials. Materials were selected to be easily maintained with natural cleaning products in order to preserve a high level of indoor air quality.

Paint Durable, premium quality, fast-curing paints and stains were used that have low VOC content. They produce almost no odor during application and are odor free once cured. These kinds of products are well suited for areas in which the health of occupants is a concern. They meet or exceed all federal and state air quality regulations (including California), and contain no formaldehyde, ammonia, crystalline silica or ethylene glycol.

Construction Adhesives, Caulking Compound, Sealers, Cleaners All products used are low odor, non-toxic, water-based products that have very low VOC content and are safely applied by the installer. These products are recommended for indoor air environments for the chemically sensitive. They meet or exceed all federal and state air quality regulations (including California). None of the products contain formaldehyde.

Construction Products Medium Density Fiberboard (Cabinet substrates) used for our custom cabinetry. All Green Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is made from 100% recovered wood from old pallets, construction waste and manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outfall which preserves natural resources and habitats. The recycled wood is sorted, chipped to uniform size and screened. The fiber is then washed and fed through state of the art refiners and is steam pressed to create homogenous panels, free from contamination. Unlike other panelboards, no urea formaldehyde resin is used in the binding agent. Since there are zero incremental formaldehyde emissions, it meets the rigid European E-1 and HUD-24 low emission standards. The MDF is clear finished with a high quality water-based clear finish that is very low odor and very low VOC. It is comparable to conventional solvent and water-based polyurethanes in performance without the toxicity.

Formaldehyde Free Fiberglass Insulation (Sound and thermal) Typical fiberglass batt insulation contains about 5 % resin binder that is capable of outgassing formaldehyde fumes into the air. Products without formaldehyde were used which improves indoor air quality as well as outdoor through reduced emissions during manufacturing. These fiberglass batts contain a minimum of 25 %-recycled glass that reduces pollution resulting from fuel burning, and reduces waste through the utilization of recycled materials.

Ceiling Finishes The suspended ceilings acoustic panels are composed of aspen wood fibers bonded with an inorganic cement which is then formed under heat and pressure to create uniquely textured, extremely durable, flat panels. All of the raw materials used are sustainable. The wood excelsior is from managed new growth trees that reach maturity in 25-30 years. The primary source of magnesium oxide used in the binder is seawater, and the silicate used in the secondary binder is made from sand. In the production of these materials waste magnesium is recovered and reused to reduce the magnesium requirement. Water is also recycled during the manufacturing process to reduce water consumption.

Wall Finishes Recycled Glass Tiles (Restrooms) An alternative wall and floor solution can be found in the dumpster. Old wine and beer bottles are finding a second life as glass tiles. There are a number of companies, producing decorative tiles for walls, floors and mosaic accents. These tiles characteristically have bubbles and cracks that add to their beauty. Glass tiles are easy to clean and maintain. We used appropriate adhesive and grout to make this a green toilet wall finish solution. Antique Heart Pine (Wood Slat Wall) Heart Pine wood comes from the Longleaf Pine tree. It was the wood of choice for colonial builders because of its size, strength and resistance to rot and insects. Today, Heart Pine is reclaimed from outmoded factories, textile mills and warehouses as they are demolished. The magnificent beams are re-sawn and re-milled into solid planks for flooring and lumber. Antique Heart Pine is a 100% recycled product. The wood finish is a natural oil product and is 100% biodegradable and made without harmful synthetic chemicals. It contains only biologically and environmentally responsible ingredients, grown without pesticides, which are tested for human and environmental health and safety. Since only certified organic products are used, the finishes tend not to cause any allergies, asthma, or skin irritations, not to mention the nausea, headaches and nervous system disorders often caused by fumes of synthetic ingredients in many conventional products. These types of products can also be safely disposed of with regular household garbage, without harming groundwater or soil.

Flooring Products Linoleum (Exam Room Flooring) Linoleum is a natural flooring product made from renewable raw materials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; linseed from the flax plant, natural resins, wood and cork floors, crushed limestone, and non-toxic pigments. The backing is of jute fibers. Linoleum has been manufactured and in use for the last 100 years. It requires less energy to manufacture than most other flooring products and is known for being inherently anti-bacterial and naturally anti-static, yet it is without harmful VOC emissions. It is easy to clean and maintain. It is a soft-walking surface that provides acoustic dampening. The adhesive used for installation is a 100% solvent free adhesive. Limestone (Entry Flooring and Wall) Limestone is a stone comprised of mainly calcium carbonate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; old fossilized organic matter sandwiched and compressed between layers of earth. Limestone can be anywhere from creamy white to cadet blue. The refined French variety comes from organic beds laid down during the Jurassic period some 90 million years ago. The stone is clear finished with a high quality water based seal that is very low in odor and very low VOC.

Cork (Treatment Rooms & Circulation Area Flooring) Cork is a flooring material with a long history of use. Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak tree, which is harvested every 9-14 years. The tree is never cut and the habitat remains undisturbed. The bark protects the tree during its average 500-year life span. These trees grow in the forests of Mediterranean countries, with the largest concentration of plantations located in Spain and Portugal. Not only is the bark inherently fire resistant to protect the tree from forest fires, but it is also resistant to the extreme temperature changes prevailing in those regions. It is resistant to more than 38 species of insects including the termite, and to the development of microbes (one of the reasons it is so invaluable to the storage of wine). Because 90% of the tissue consists of gaseous matter, the density of cork is extremely low, giving the material wonderful thermal and acoustical insulating properties. Cork flooring is often found in libraries, such as the US Library of Congress, to dampen the sound. The gaseous quality of the cork also provides a cushion effect- “a soft walking surface” to the building environment. Cork does not absorb dust; with proper cleaning, it is naturally hypoallergenic. Cork is inherently fire resistant; it does not spread flames and does not release toxic gases during combustion. The presence of Suberin in cork, a natural waxy substance produced by the tree, renders cork impervious to both liquids and gases. As a result, cork does not rot and only requires a light sealant such as beeswax; a natural wood oil or a water based low VOC sealer to complete the finish. Recycled Carpet Tile (Office Area) The carpet used at the Continuum Center for Health and Healing has the highest recycled content available in the industry at 72%. Estimates by the producers of this type of carpet state that recycling saves 50,000 BTU’s of energy per pound of carpet in comparison to a standard nylon carpet (this is about the same energy used for one laundry wash and dry cycle per each carpet tile!). The backing for this product is made from 100% recycled carpet, drastically reducing waste in our landfills. Commercial carpet is also very difficult to reclaim or re-use because the nylon thread of the carpet is difficult to separate from the vinyl backing. The carpeting used at the Center has been constructed to be separated for recycling and therefore “closes the loop” of the manufacturing process. The price of reclamation is included in the price of the carpet tile. Also, this or any carpet tile can be installed using a dry bond adhesive system (used like tape). Unlike typical carpet adhesives, these materials have no harmful VOC’s and no formaldehyde. Wool Carpet (Area Rugs in Waiting Room) Because all carpeting is a nest for dust, mites and other allergens and biological pollutants, it is preferable to limit its use by using area carpets over a smooth surface floor. Natural fiber rugs are easier to keep clean and will wear longer. They can be removed for cleaning which takes the dusty, disruptive cleaning process off site. Often vacuuming just lifts to the surface and makes ambient the irritable debris embedded in the carpet.

Furniture Manufacturing In the manufacturing of furniture used at the Center sustainable woods are used and water intensive manufacturing processes have been eliminated. No chloroflorocarbons are used (which reduce the ozone layer) and paint solvents were also reduced. In the distribution of the furniture products reusable pallets have been developed for shipping, disposable packing materials have been diminished, and the packing weight has been minimized to reduce fuel costs and energy consumption. As an alternate to chrome finishes, which generate residual heavy metal particulate from the manufacturing process, a type of finish was used on the furniture, which eliminates VOC’s hazardous cleaners and is nonflammable for factory safety.

Patient Thoughts What makes a healing experience? “I love the decor, the ambience, the care-giving approach one gets here.” “This is my third visit here and the peacefulness/serenity that is evoked is wonderful. Not usual upon awaiting a doctor’s appointment — it becomes an internal healing… thank-you.” “Here I am — a half hour after my acupuncture treatment — and not eager to leave this very revivifying office! I hope you will continue to be able to keep the welcoming, relaxed feeling in your office. It’s as important to me — or almost as important- as the excellent people — doctors, chiropractors, nurses — here to treat one.” “I love that the Center provides so many different services in one place, and that they have alternative methods such as acupuncture and homeopathy and holistic care. They have special classes as well, such as meditation and yoga.”

“Integrating an ounce of Prevention” by Dr. Jon LaPook

“Dr. Jon LaPook investigated Duke Integrative Medicine’s non-traditional approach to preventing health issues before they happen. Duke believes this is the future of healthcare.” - CBSnews.com When interviewing the Duke staff, LaPook was told that “the core piece of Integrative Medicine is looking at you as a whole person, asking you to reflect on your life and your health and what’s important to you and then bringing the best that all healing traditions have to offer to help create a personalized health plan.” LaPook spent the day at Duke Integrative Health Center where at the end of his day met with a personalized team to analyze his health. He learned that the goal of Integrative Medicine is to change the mentality of healthcare. Instead of waiting until people become sick, it emphasizes prevention. His overall concern at the end of his visit was the cost of Integrative Medicine due to the lack of insurance coverage. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5536281n

Facility New Haven Medical & Dental Center

Architecture Caproni Associates specialized in the design of industrial buildings & factories, much like the Knights of Columbus Printing Plant. That being said, a lot of their work was designed to be functional and economic rather than dramatic architectural statements of the day. However, one building downtown New Haven does come to mind as a fairly interesting piece of MCM architecture. This building was originally called the New Haven Medical & Dental Center and was completed in 1963. John Caproni (son of Leo F. Caproni, who founded Caproni Associates) was the design focal with a gentlemen named Paul Weidlinger (ed. note: Weidlinger founded Weidlinger Associates in 1949. They still exist today as a major engineering firm) acting as consulting engineer. The building is of concrete construction (not sure if it is pre-cast or poured onsite), plate glass windows, and has blue enamel panels between the windows/floors. The vertical focus of this design was common to Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.1

WHITEHALL BUILDING

WHITEHALL BUILDING ANNEX

Type: Residential, Commercial, Office Location: Lower Manhattan Completed: 1904 Height: 259ft Floor Count: 20 Architect: Henry J. Hardenbergh

Type: Residential Location: Lower Manhattan Completed: 1910 Height: 424ft Floor Count: 31 Architect: Clinton & Russell

The twenty-story Whitehall Building, named for Peter Stuyvesantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventeenth-century house that had been located nearby, was constructed in 1902-04 and designed by the preeminent turn-of -the-century architect Henry J. Hardenbergh. This highly visible site at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, overlooking Battery Park, inspired the architect to create a building with bold design features and a dramatic color scheme. Built as a speculative office tower by the real estate and development firm of Robert A. and William H. Chesebrough, the building was an immediate success and the developers began plans to build an addition. They hired the prolific architectural firm of Clinton & Russell to design a thirty-one-story addition facing West Street, with a tower overlooking the original building. Constructed in 1908-10, the Greater Whitehall, as the addition was called, was the largest office structure in the city at the time of its completion. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge size coupled with its location on landfill at the edge of Manhattan island created the need for unusual types of foundations and methods for their installation. The elegant limestone facade, designed in a neo-Renaissance style with a traditional organization of base, shaft, and capital complements the original structure. Together the two sections of the building create a dramatic visual introduction to the towers of Manhattan. h t t p : / / w w w . n y c - a r c h i t e c t u r e . c o m / L M / L M 0 1 1 - W H I T E H A L L B U I L D I N G . h t m

Concept

MONIR FARMANFARMAIAN Asia Society Museum New York, New York

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Untitledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1977

Monir Farmanfarmaian constructed this piece using mirror, reverse glass painting, and plaster on wood. I was inspired by this piece because of the artists use of simple materials to create a complex piece that appears to have depth and volume. This is achieved by the use of the mirror and the rotating square shapes as well as the various tones in color. The square pieces with the mirror create a cube-like shape that gives the appearance of depth. The mirror also gives the effect of the cubes floating in space. 78

Concept

MODERN T

Integrative Health combines the use of traditional and modern medicine into the practice of healing the body has a whole. The way I view Integrative Health is the idea of traditional medicine â&#x20AC;&#x153;huggingâ&#x20AC;? modern medicine. This idea, with the inspiration of the cubes, has brought me to my design concept of a space within a space, buildings within a building. I envision an inner-series of buildings (cubes), wrapped within the exisiting building. Like the hugging effect of Integrative health, the traditional design of the exisiting building is hugging the modern series of buildings.79

Inspiration

Greenwich Post Office Greenwich, CT

The historic former United States Post Office building at 310 Greenwich Avenue, which the , will soon be home to Restoration Hardware. According to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, the Corte Madera, Calif.-based purveyor of luxury furniture, lighting and other goods, with about 90 locations in the U.S. and Canada, for the 17,400 square foot neoclassical building, which has been a landmark on The Avenue since 1917. www.greenwich.patch.com

15 Union Square West New York, NY

15 USW was originally comissioned in hte 1800’s by Charles Lewis Tiffany as his company’s home. Architect John Kellum created such a stunning cast iron facade that an article in the 1869 New York Times referred to this landmark as “The Palace of Jewels”. Rather than demolishing original cast iron arches from the historic structure, Perkins Eastman’s design team led by Eran Chen chose to strip away the brick facade and restore the cast-iron elements to recapture the unique style of the original structure. A striking new facade of black zinc and glass showcases these graceful elements to seamlessly meld the past with the future. www.15usw.com

‘Hospital Hvidovre’ by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Copenhagen, Denmark

“by understanding the building principles of the existing hospital we designed the extension to become a continuation of the existing structure. the architectural idea is to develop the concrete base into a flexible and respectful new interpretation while maintaining the orthogonal geometry. the design of the extension is organic and empathetic, which makes it vibrant, expressive and dramatic.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;on arrival, all patients, relatives and employees must feel welcome and accommodated. people must be received in a proper manner, which leaves them in no doubt about where to go. we created a new platform for arrival which angles towards the hospital in one smooth movement and leads below the building, where the green garden spaces will act as way-finding elements.â&#x20AC;?

www.designboom.com

‘Greenscraper’ by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Copenhagen, Denmark

the landmark is integrated into its surroundings with the project’s environmental principles made clearly visible to the public. connected directly to the metro station, a large window allows people in transit to see an ice storage, containing more than 1000 cubic meters of ice that is used to generate energy for both heating and cooling of the offices. the main pedestrian access into the building is located through the urban green 88 mall at street level, further enhancing the overarching aims for this city’s green beacon.

divided into vertical volumes, the offices are stacked, pushed and pulled around the building’s ‘green lungs’. the interior living wall uses regionally found plants to provide natural ventilation throughout the spaces, which creates a healthier indoor climate – and also contributes to and enhances the local biodiversity. large solar tunnels run from the bottom to the top of the high-rise with a greenhouse on the roof 89 to capture and reuse the building’s excess heat and the solar gain of the chimneys. www.designboom.com

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kinderspital Zurichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Herzog & de Meuron Zurich, Switzerland

while one element consists in the treatment of patients, the other assumes the task of medical research and the dissemination of new advancements. both buildings are made up of layered geometries: the orthogonal representing private medical spaces, while the circular denotes public gathering spaces. this concept brilliantly showcases what each piece of the project is truly about: the hospital integrates rectilinear elements punctuated with nodes of circular gathering spaces while the research facility is itself a circle, lending to the idea that information is defined entirely as a public right. www.designboom.com

‘Healing Architecture’ by NORD Architects Copenhagen, Denmark

The winning design is founded by principles of healing architecture and at the same time it suggests aesthetics which are in contrast with that of a conventional health institution. So the design is an elaboration on the recognizable contour and scale of a house. At the same time it becomes an iconographic building, as the small inpidual houses are interconnected by a sculptural roof structure. The building is enriched by the close relation to the surrounding landscape consisting of an inner courtyard, several terraces and themed gardens.

‘Sheikh Khalifa Medical City’ by Skidmore, Owings & Merril Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The new Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) is a 2.5 million sq ft. medical complex in the heart of Abu Dhabi. Conceived as “three hospitals under one roof,” this medical complex will combine a General Hospital with a Level One Trauma Center, tertiary Women’s Hospital, and Pediatric Hospital. This model enhances patient care through specialization while improving efficiency through shared services.

www.som.com

Envisioned as a city within a city, the design creates a bustling campuslike environment of distinct character. With vibrant public spaces and a strong sense of community, the hospital is intended to alter perceptions about both the healthcare environment and the patient experience.

Berg, Stein, Wasser - die Valser Therme ist ein Begriff von Paris bis New York. Vom Bündener Stararchitekten Peter Zumthor aus Valser Quarzit erschaffen mutet das Bauwerk von außen an wie ein mächtiger Stein inmitten einer wunderbaren Gebirgslandschaft. Durchgehende Schichtenfolgen des eleganten Natursteins prägen das Bild. International renommierte Architekten, wie Normen Forster oder Philippe Starck, haben den feinschiefrigen Glimmerquarzit aus dem Bündener Oberland in aller Welt berühmt gemacht. Er ist einer der edelsten Natursteine der Welt. Im grünlich-grauen Valser Quarzit verbinden sich die Struktur von Marmor, die Härte von Granit mit dem Prädikat „Made in Switzerland". In dem frostbeständigen Gneis sind rundliche Augen aus Felsspat und Quarz in feinschichtigen Lagen aus Glimmern eingebettet - die Einmaligkeit des Valser Quarzits. Eigenschaften Exklusiver und besonders hochwertiger Naturstein. Premium-Naturstein aus einem einzigartigen Schweizer Steinbruch. Hochwertige, samtierte Oberfläche. Elegantes Farbspiel aus grauem Grundton mit weißer Quarzaderung. Ruhiges Verlegemuster durch Platten als Bahnenware mit Steinlängen zwischen 40 und 80 cm bei 40 cm Breite. Steinparkett: Einzigartige Formatreihe im typischen Parkettstil. Geringer Fugenanteil durch gesägte Kanten. Frost- und Tausalzbeständig. Trittsicher. 31.10.2013
