Production Technology
The integration of technological innovation and the return of technology to nature: By adopting cutting edge structural design and materials to reduce energy consumption and create a zero carbon emission hospital, and to allow energy saving technology and health care to co-exist. The roof is integrated with curtain wall and photo-voltaic/solar energy system, signifying the idea of returning of technology to nature. The main facade adopts a dia-grid structural system - a high-tech approach to construction, and its unique facade creates an identity in the medical and health sector.
Design Challenge
Medical buildings are always subject to changes in medical processes and medical equipment, so a more structured layout and modular 'plug-in' design is more conducive to adapting to the changes. The innovation and challenge of medical architecture is reflected in the project's 'whole life cycle' architectural concept, where design is no longer aimed at the current optimum of building and function, but rather at adapting to the changing use and function of the hospital.
Project Duration
The project is located in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. Design work has commenced in 2020 and construction has started in early 2021, with the foundation stone laid in November 2020. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, with the official opening and operation of the project expected to take place in 2024.
Operation Flow
The masterplan adopts the concept of "one axis, two belts, three zones, eight scenes and one pictorial landscape", allowing the medical use and function to fully integrate with nature. The landscape axes are introduced to open up view corridors, along which medical spaces can have a symbiotic relationship with nature, a healing environment is thus created, making the medical complex as a whole a graceful health park that can be experienced. The design reflects the 'whole life cycle' concept, with a planned 'plug-in' modular layout of medical units that can grow with future needs.
Research
The outbreak of the corona virus has brought about a considerable impact on all industries and has sounded the alarm for the environmental safety of design for medical buildings, as medical buildings are projects not only for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and the maintenance of human health, but also for the key prevention and control sites of public health emergencies. For the future development of medical building design, combined with the design practice of this project, the project team have conducted an in-depth study on a number of design aspects.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by the ancient Lingnan water townscape of Shunde, with its crisscrossing rivers, to create a "garden hospital" that will live in symbiosis with nature. The interior incorporates landscape features such as courtyards and sky gardens, bringing sunlight, fresh air and greenery into the hospital, making the hospital as a whole resemble an urban garden. Nurture and growth are the most beautiful themes in nature, and the design allows the building to grow into nature.
