Abstract

The architectural hospital field can not be empty in its lowermost boundaries of dealing from capabilities of intemal integration for the hospitals; because they are coherent system of  relationships which depending on changes which affects them through the steps of design, construction and occupying, which create tools of dealing with methodology whicir participate in drawing general logical analytic plan.
The main goal of this research is finding a method through which the changes included under heading constrains can be explained according to the main members which forms the model in its lowest most levels and system in high level, according to the hierarchy research headings.
In This research we try to deal with determination of general characteristics, which can form the whole-system- for design and physical system through which the internal relationships of the system can be organized. First with qualitative technique for system analysis and the method of balancing which can constrict functional obsolescence and locational obsolescence in system; which make the subject of change easy in hospital system design according to the tbur objects of systems which are; purpose or goal. elvironment, hierarchy and operational processes. By these four objects we can make abase which is controlled by theory explaining the living system and organic structure.
