Proper design planning for the grounds and architecture of the buildings of a medical complex allows the streets and access to the buildings to be clearer and easier for the audience. In other words, the proper organization of the hospital grounds will lead to better routing of patients due to better reading of the environment. This is the case if the signs and routing in the hospital grounds are disrupted, patients will be confused to access their desired spaces. Therefore, the design of communication routes should be such as to facilitate routing for clients (by vehicle).
The building’s structure is designed as a stack of two volumes, or rectangle ‘blocks’ two per floor with each pair rotated degrees from the floor below. On the interior, each individual volume is expressed as a rectangular wood-clad truss on the long edges, and as a floor-to-ceiling glass facade on the shorter sides. The continual rotation of each floor creates a sky-lit, central atrium at the heart of the building that provides direct views into classrooms and research spaces from all levels.
On floor B, travelers can pick up their vehicle from the car rental/valet service located in the connection bridge within minutes of arriving in Terminal A, and drive off directly with the utmost convenience. On the western end, the upper “snake” is extended and cantilevered out to provide shelter and shade, whilst simultaneously creating a striking symbolic entrance gesture to the Airport City for everyone coming from the Luxembourg city center.
When asked to design an apartment block next to a parking garage, BIG saw an opportunity to explore a new form of symbiotic urbanism. Rather than placing a traditional slab of apartments next to a block of cars, BIG proposed mixing the two and exploiting their differences as a strength rather than a weakness: cars need large floor plates and good proximity to the street, while houses want sunlight and views. As a result, the parking is turned into a podium for the buildings homes that form a stepping landscape of houses with gardens.
If the hospital is properly designed, both patients and staff will benefit. Although attention to public spaces and hospital lobbies has always been emphasized and interested by designers, designing treatment spaces for clinics is equally important. The design of treatment rooms and spaces - in which the patient is conscious - as well as injection and blood collection stations from the patient, if combined with factors such as natural light, suitable materials, vision, and beautiful works of art, in the induction of sense Calming the patient and speeding up the treatment process will play an important role.
