Brian Silva, AIA, NCARB, CLGB

Principal, Health Practice Leader

Bsilva

There is no detail too fine for Brian when it comes to healthcare design, and his transformative contributions to sprawling academic medical centers and pediatric healthcare organizations show this. A seasoned healthcare planner and designer, Brian has the ability to see the long-term vision of a client and realize it within the design of a single patient room or a full campus. 

Brian is laser focused on the future—how healthcare organizations can be ready to adapt right away for rising demand in a specialty or another pandemic. He is also passionate about “pre-prevention,” and how healthcare can do more around investigating environmental and societal causes for diseases to make treatment less arduous or even avoid it all together. He has shared his expertise and project contributions at national and international conferences and in national media outlets.
