A new health center planned for Brooklyn's cultural district won’t have physicians’ offices or waiting areas; patients will check in at kiosks and go directly to an exam room, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. The mixed-use building will have a teardrop form that follows its triangular site. Fritted glass and 10-inch projecting metal fins provide privacy for patients inside and reduce heat gain, the article said.
