One of the basic concepts that support this project is the necessity to create a space that is not only made to satisfied patient’s earthly health but it’s a medium between life and God’s light. Hospitals should be read as places in which human beings celebrates life and soul’s connection. This connection is well summarized by air corridors that linked the numerous buildings up to 200 meters. The idea to emphasize the human side of Hospital facility take advantage of glass facades and a very slender structure.
