MEMORY
The hospital complex is like a small city. In the first phase, according to the program, we must respond with an integrative, clear and flexible idea that satisfactorily resolves the most urgent problems and does not prevent the thoughtful and accurate development of the following actions.
The most important parameters for assessing a hospital are the quality of its Central Services:
- Its layout and sequence.
- Its ease of interconnection.
- Its communication with Hospital Services.
Our action focuses on enabling its correct implementation in this first phase.
The response – the triggering idea – is the creation of a large central platform, under the Pavilions that allows the Central Services to be housed on the same level, which optimizes their operation.
The centrality of this surface entails direct communication with the Hospitalization Units, in their current situation, and with the Outpatient Services of Phase II, in their new location, on either side.
This large floor gives way to a roof-garden, which recovers lost aesthetic values and introduces tranquillity into the heart of the Hospital.
