IMPLANTATION ON TERRAIN

This project is a high complexity hospital with 50,000m2 of built area, located within the framework of an educational complex of the Catholic University, where the following would be implemented:

A - Faculty of Medicine (already built)

B - University Hospital (developed project)

C - Nursing block (future development) tension created between buildings leaves a public open space for students and hospital staff or visitors.

The campus is located in a highly urbanized area, and because of its complexity, the project required not only the solution of the building itself, but also to foresee the impact it would have on urban traffic flows and the appropriate solutions.

During my 2 years of participation in the project, we were able to clearly define the general design of the building, develop and adjust with precision all the technical spaces through constant consultations of technical and functional requirements, consultancies with suppliers of hospital machinery and experts in hospital buildings at regional level.

In the final stages of the development, I was personally responsible for all sections, floor plans of the south tower, details of various rooms and some construction details, as well as getting the project approved by the Ministry of Public Health.

The created the leaves open the hospital visitors.

The hospital building is clearly divided into functional blocks.

- On the lower levels (in direct contact with the street and the plaza in between) are the outpatient programs, such as the emergency and diagnostic room.

- The north tower contains the inpatient rooms,

- The curved south tower houses the more complex and specialized procedure programs, such as operating rooms and ICUs, among others.

The whole campus complex is treated not as a unitary and enclosed entity, but as a permeable piece of the urban fabric in which it is implanted. Access can be found on multiple angles and levels with a functional approach, fundamental for a project of this nature.
