300 Bed General Hospital
Project Details
Location: Tagaytay City
Mentor: Ar. Felix Resurreccion
The proposed 300-bed general hospital is heavily influenced by healing architecture which is designed to provide a stress-free environment, for patients of all ages. It is designed to follow simple principles that allow a great deal of flexibility as the demand for extra healthcare facilities continues to grow.
To continuously promote sustainability in hospitals, without sacrificing the patient's comfortability, it was made sure to maximize daylight ingress in spaces where patients are at most of the time.
Structural Concept
Designing the space in grid module reinforced concrete columns, and steel panel and curtain wall enclosures. Vertically ran metal siding has clear lines and can assist draw attention to important aspects of a structure. Since the side panels lead the attention upward, running them vertically helps create the sense of a larger structure. Reinforced concrete as the general framing of the structure provides multiple advantages in terms of practicality, strength, durability, and fire resistance.
