T h e new hear t clinic is divided into two main par ts – t h e Out Patient Depar tment and Night Patient Depar tment .

T h e t wo par ts are connected by the central circulation hall w a y, a space with a ceiling height of 30metres and the incorp o r a tion of the original landscape in the area, the glass wall o n b oth sides allows sufficient sunlight penetration into the a r e a . Inside this circulation hallway, there are shops scat t e r e d along the whole space, an ar t galler y and a small librar y f o r t he patients and visitor. The space is designed in order to c h a n ge the definition of old hospital, as being a horrif ying, l a c k of natural sunlight and lifeless atmosphere.
