SMC Special Issue N.02 2019 | PROJECTS

Considering the relatively reduced dimensions of the building, we have decided to restrict the target and assign the building only to children and mothers-to-be, since the mix of geriatric functions with the pediatric and gynaecological ones might result in unsuitable spaces for either of these categories. Other important conceptual choices have been made, such as the use of green inside the healthcare center, due to the beneficial effects this might have on patients, the partial cut of the upper slabs and the use of glass for part of the roof in order to bring light inside the part of the building that does not actually have enough openings in the North-East facade.
