Sample Works Beau Brady Fall 2012 Boston Hospital Project
BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL Site: Boston, Massachusetts Semester: Fall 2012 Duration: 16 weeks Professor: Paul Zorr Design Statement: Urban Revival. The Children’s Hospital, representing the heart of the North End and Downtown, attempts to spark an urban connection that encourages pedestrian friendly traffic to the hospital site and beyond. The ground floor opens its doors to a generous lounge area with a versatile auditorium, offering shared use from the hospital and the city. Occupliable green spaces on the ground and various other levels extend the adjacent green park system onto the hospital site, inviting pedestrian traffic to the North End. The hospital not only facilitates the public, but its young patients as well. Exposing organic elements, such as wood, plantlife, and light, offers a natural healing environment for the children. The patient rooms use floor to ceiling windows to daylight the space with mechanical louvers controlling the amount of light that enters each room. The use of light shelves diffuse artificial lighting to prevent direct exposure onto the patient. A centrally located elevator lobby projects upwards as the main artery in the hospital. Its transparency allows the visitor to look outwards, noticing the change in context from the North End to the high rises of downtown as they elevate. By employing a contemporary language of its own, the Children’s Hospital becomes the focal point of the North End and creates a lasting connection to the rest of the city.
