The document proposes redesigning hospital lobbies with the sun as a unifying symbol. It suggests circular lobbies centered around a reception area. The sun symbolizes concepts like healing, life, and enlightenment. It could help brand the hospitals and inspire hope in patients. Implementing this bold idea could make the organization pioneering and help spread its values and vision.

2. RE-DESIGNING OUR LOBBIES TO REFLECT OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

3. OUR DILEMMA NYP LOBBIES WERE DESIGNED OVER A LONG TIME PERIOD ACROSS TWO CAMPUSES, WITH NO UNIFIED LOOK AS A RESULT PATIENTS & VISITORS COMING INTO OUR HOSPITALS HAVE NO IMMEDIATE WAY TO IDENTIFY THAT THEY ARE AT NEW YORK PRESBYTERIAN AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER FACILITY LOBBIES ARE AN OPPORTUNITY (THAT WE ARE NOT UTILIZING) TO MAKE A LASTING POSITIVE IMPRESSION ON ALL WHO COME THROUGH WE NEED A CONCEPT THAT IS POWERFUL, UNIVERSAL, TIMELESS, CAN BE EASILY INCORPORATED INTO DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES, AND FITS INTO OUR OVERALL VISION FOR THE PRESENT & FUTURE

4. RECENTLY, THIS IMAGE OF ASKLEPIUS, GREEK GOD OF HEALING POINTING EASTWARD, WAS BROUGHT INTO MY OFFICE: What might he be pointing toward? Could it be… ?

5. EUREKA MOMENT: Wait, the sun spans our two campuses as it travels across the sky… COULD THE SUN BE THE UNIFYING ELEMENT FOR NYPH …

7. LONGTIME SYMBOL OF POWER, LIFE, AND ENLIGHTENMENT ACROSS ALL CULTURES, THE SUN IS EVER-PRESENT, UNIVERSAL, ETERNAL … … AND EASILY RECOGNIZED AS SUCH BY THE DIVERSE MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY WE SERVE

8. THE SUN IS ALSO AN ONGOING SOURCE FOR HEALING AND RELAXATION … … THAT BEFITS OUR PHILOSOPHY OF RECUPERATIVE AS WELL AS PREVENTIVE CARE

9. FURTHERMORE, IT SPANS EAST TO WEST THROUGHOUT THE DAY … … MUCH LIKE OUR TWO CITY CAMPUSES, WHO BEAR WITNESS TO THE SUN’S MOST DRAMATIC MOMENTS AT SUNRISE AND SUNSET

10. IN TERMS OF GEOMETRY THE SUN IS DYNAMICALLY SYMMETRICAL IN A WAY THAT EASILY LENDS ITSELF TO ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR DESIGN …

11. CIRCULAR LOBBIES CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THEIR SENSE OF OPENESS AND EASY-TO-FIND CENTRAL RECEPTION AREA AS FOLLOWS… RECEPTION AREA ENTRY/EXIT HALLWAYS ELEVATORS WAITING AREA/RETAIL

18. MARKETING & SALES AS RICH AS IT IS WITH METAPHOR, WE WILL BE ABLE TO TIE THE SUN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH WORDS AND IMAGES, INTO EVERY MESSAGE WE PUT OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY IF DONE WELL, THE PUBLIC WILL LEARN TO ASSOCIATE NYP WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL AFOREMENTIONED QUALITIES OF THE SUN IN RELATION TO HEALING, POWER, ENLIGHTENMENT, BEGINNINGS, AND LIFE AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING … ALL THE CARE WE PROVIDE AND THE WAY WE PROVIDE IT CAN BE COMMUNICATED VIA METAPHOR THAT IS BASED ON THE SUN AND ITS AFFECT ON LIVING THINGS

21. ARE YOU READY? IT IS SAID THAT TO HAVE GREAT IDEAS IS TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD, BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO MISUNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SUN AND HOW WELL IT FITS AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO BRINGING AND SUSTAINING LIFE SUCH AS NYPH DOES HOWEVER WE HAVE TO ACT DECIDEDLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER BECAUSE IT IS ALSO SAID THAT GREATNESS IS BORN THROUGH BOLD ACTION
