This book provides basic knowledge required to make the spaces free from infection to architects, space planners, interior designers, hospital administrators, facility managers, single unit clinics, charitable dispensaries, auditoriums and public gathering space managers. This includes airborne infection control, vector borne infection control, fomite spread of infection and other interventions for other forms of infection. Apart from airborne infection spread, it also touches upon the issue of vector control of diseases through the built environment. It is based on evidence based design, backed by research and endorsed by practitioners.

This book serves as a handbook for most architects, space planners, interior designers, hospital administrators, facility managers of public spaces and even owners of small clinics. It addresses the multidisciplinary nature of the issue which aims at shaping the well-being of the building occupants with the contributions from the space designers.
