Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital were the first of their kind, when they emerged as successful integrated facilities in Singapores hospital landscape. Drawing inspiration from these integrated facilities, we seek to design a new integrated-care facility where the patient does not move, the building however morphs and adapats to the patients metabolic needs.
The Metamorphic Hospital utilizes a pneumatic pillowed roof to shape the internal environmental conditions, creating various micro-cliamtes suited for every stage of a patients care pathway. With reliance on natural ventilation, it is unlike the modern day hospital where air conditioned spaces are common place.
By freeing up the roof of its services, the ceiling clearance can be maximized and the quality of space beneath becomes light and airy.
