Week 5_MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE X HOSPITALITY

The week five design task is a group work with Hai to study the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research occupied by University of Melbourne students and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The medical research centres provide an environment where lab-based research and clinical practice, leading researchers, scientists, medical professionals and even patients, play a role in improving human health and wellbeing. We have designed a health care centre that the elder with the aging disease uses. It allows the doctor and patients living in the building and the hospitality/restaurant as part of the healing treatment, which we call the familiar area.

The new institute will be positioned within site in the round with a considered frontage on all sides. The building will be around 3,500ms of the program distributed across six storeys. There is to be an even split of the area between the researcher’s office placed in the canter core of the building, and the façade container spine up to the top will give to hospitality and restaurant used. The hospitality container becomes a stair from 2 floors up to the rooftop, with a rooftop garden for the patients and observation doctor. The architecture demonstrates the collisions and overlaps between these two different programs through its central corn and enclose side relationship.

During the research, we have found that the research for the aging disease has been hard to proceed with since there is a lack of human samples, all the examples they have tested only from donation after the cell’s owner dead. Even though testing with animal faculty, there is still much differentiation between each testing sample. So another difficulty would be making one treatment for everyone. Overall, the research on the aging disease is still in the very beginning stage. Therefore, we want to use the building screen to show their research result to the public, using the building to encourage more people to join this team.
