Cote d’Ivoire Hospitals tp bennett, Year Out
Whilst at tp bennett, I worked on three residential projects in London and Manchester, for a student accommodation, on a prison project and the design and construction of a series of six hospitals in Africa. My main focus has been the hospital is located on a sloped terrain and consists of 11 buildings each with a refined design towards its fiction and positioning. Key points that were considered during the design were the locations of various departments in respect of their emergency (i.e. distances between maternity and main clinic) and the positioning of equipment as significant as MRI scanners and their radioactive waves and magnetic fields in regards to design. My involvement in the project included modelling a series of models that contributed to the production of visualisations and drawings to communicate changes to the client and assist in everyday changes within the project.
