ESTABLISHMENT OF PLACE: NORTH SHORE HOSPITAL, AUCKLAND 124 Shakespeare Road, by Lake Pupuke, Takapuna, Auckland
+
auckland, new zealand
North Shore Hospital is a large public multiplex hospital that serves the Northern region through the Waitemata District Health Board, serving around 47,000 people a year , through up to 131 surgical beds, 163 general medical treatment beds and 9 operating theatres. This is on top of many other specialized departments and a series of secondary services enmeshed in peripheral context, including hospices, aged-care, sports facilities and independent health centres. Previously flagged for staff shortages and overcrowding in previous years, it has since looked towards future-proofing its facilities with the recent addition of more ward space, specialist services (such as a new renal centre in 2010) and is currently undergoing a decadelong strategy to establish a ‘health campus’ for further opportunities in research and education. This parallels the District Health Board’s (DHB) ambition to provide an environment for academic excellence and innovation beyond care and attract a student culture. The hospital is accessible from the Auckland Waiwera Motorway and bus routes, and conspicuous from right around Lake Pupuke due to its large-scale structure. Care in Place

Care in Place
The hospital site is surrounded by a diverse mix of activities: Its adjacency to the scenic Lake Pupuke, a freshwater lake, wetland and reserve smack in the middle of the suburbs and parkland. The lakefront is popular with wildlife, recreational activities with picnickers and water sports enthusiasts, and is known for its million-dollar views, including that of Rangitoto Island. • According to the Department of Conservation, Lake Pupuke Maar belongs to the Crown and is classified under Section 6.0: Mixed cultural/natural site of high priority for immediate world heritage listing – 6.1: Auckland Volcanic Field, under (Cones and other geological features of volcanic origin). It is a tuff Ring surrounding a Broad maar Crater – as the wider Auckland landscape is dominated by volcanic cones. This therefore comes with a height restriction for buildings within the region. • Biodiversity: Some common wetland birds. High black swan (introduced) population, and some ducks and swans. Larger lake habitat includes pied shag nesting colony and four species of shag (SSWI) The lake is enriched but supports a variety of fish and bird life including pied shag, ducks, black swan, pukeko, whitefaced heron, Canadian geese (all of which breed on the lake), tui, fantail, silvereye, and grey warbler. • The larger Pupuke Lake habitat has a lack of marginal reed zone, and pohutukawa, willow trees and pampas grass around much of lake edge, as well as some tiny Carex secta and raupo patches. • An education-intensive amalgamation with predominant residential composition, with major highdecile schools within a 2km proximity (including Westlake Girls and Boys High Schools, Carmel College and Takapuna Normal Intermediate) • The 4-5-storey Medlifecare Building on the corner of the site, at the Taharoto-Shakespeare Road intersection for the aged. • Commercial and retail entities are located southwards of the site across Taharoto road, in the form of the new business park Smales Farm. It includes the large Telstraclear Building, Sovereign House and Air New Zealand building in the site’s immediate periphery.

Care in Place
A lack of sense of care in place I chose this particular site because I feel the design is contextually unaware, with conservative attempts to orientate building form with the neighbourhood. The end result is that the building footprints and form are quite intrusive with the visual landscape. The general built form compares with the archetypal podium concept developed in North America, despite wide differences in geographic locations. The DHB had stated their intentions to“improve health outcomes and reduce disparities by delivering better, sooner, more convenient services…in a way that meets future demand whilst living within our means.” There lies the abundance of opportunities to integrate other supplementary facilities on the site in order for it to re-establish its civic role in the community which the hospital does not seem to be taking advantage of, despite having a very large site. Each building was conceived as a discrete project to satisfy immediate needs, a dangerous methodology resulting in an incoherent spread of buildings across the hospital sites. Additionally: Under The Council’s Special Purpose 1 Zone: Health: - The four policies for operations: Use a concept Plan to determine developed and open spaces, providing primary health care and associated activities, hospital support services (workshops and laundries) as Permitted Activities, and allowing limited range of commercial and non-medical facilities. However, as illustrated in the next few pages, there has been more focus on carpark planning and building merely for needs, with a lack of reference to place. - Height controls: Platform A – 16m/18m, Platform B – 10m/12m (+1m if it produces more attractive rooflines). The current hospital building easily topples this standard height, therefore all new buildings, the height limit reflects low to medium level of development and not considered appropriate having regard to the residential nature of much of the area surrounding. Building platform Area B has marginally lower height limit because it’s at the periphery of the zone and closest to other facilities.

ISOLATION AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC FRINGE
DESIGNED AROUND AUTOMOBILES RATHER THAN COMMUNITY
What was noticeable during my site visits was that not only were the hospital boundaries shrouded and overshadowed with huge trees which made the site feel closed off from public routes, that there was a lack of public presence onsite.
An investigation into the 2030 strategy for the hospital reveals an enormous emphasis on the planning for future carparking - far more than the mention of the community.

GENERAL LACK OF REFERENCE TO PLACE, AND HAS AN ATMOSPHERE THAT IS UNINSPIRING AND UNINVITING, Existing built form appears to be built solely for need but with little regard to context or the aesthetic impact to the rest of the site. An emergent issue that emerges is the complexity and redundancy of spaces being created in-between, that often gets turned into a road or a green patch; another is the inhibition of the spectacular views of the lake, that can only be seen Care in Place

Care in Place
Design proposal / strategy Patients are confronted first with themselves, and afterwards with people who take care of them. The nature of patients also makes them exceptionally sensitive to their surroundings. In this case, the hospital facilitates the environment for medical processes to take place. It is identified as a tool and healer that cares for both people and the city and exists as part of the built ecosystem.
The thesis proposes three key ideas: - An alignment to context and the culturally relevant concepts of care and place. - Infuse in the masterplan a series of quality spaces that shifts away from the conventional hospital typology - Create an aesthetically humanizing environment.
Notes: Key assumptions made for the hospital while not explicitly mentioned: - Reference material for the site analysis, demographics and number-crunching comes from Jasmax, Waitemata DHB, NZ Health Strategies and statistics, the previous NSH, and consultations with various people. - Where space-making of facilities in hospitals follows stringent building codes, the establishment of this project had started with the dimensioning of spaces, which is loosely approximated and referenced from both Australasian and European building guidelines. The aims of the project shares those from precedent journals and reports. It has helped to steer the project by providing a pragmatic foundation. - This also follows in line with 2030 benchmarks, including the ongoing decanting with Waitakere Hospital within the Waitemata Region.

place: A masterplanning exercise study Getting back into Place: main arterial route, 30% traffic
Development of a site as large as the hospital’s can be treated like a masterplan. Bringing the hospital back into place means the imperative for the proposal to bring the hospital back into the city, A priority includes a need for a clarity of circulation and orientation for both patients and visitors, for this sews the site back into context. One of the first places to investigate is the road infrastructure to determine accessibility into place.

Proposed zoning strategy (iteration) The combination of previous templates , and the knowledge of hospital programs accumulates into a zoning strategy. At this stage, programs at this stage is divided into three categories: non-urgent / primary and preventive health care; inpatient care; and services + general hospital care for more urgent cases.

Two theories are given about hierarchy: either the core could be the emergency department, or the social space. Here, the emergency department takes utmost priority with other programs designed around it.

Proposed zoning strategy (ďŹ nal) Programs that are more community-oriented are sited in the middle, or the ‘heart’ of the site. While acute care is obviously more important and urgent than non-acute care, thinking of the core as a social space (rather than the actual general hospital) would facilitate better community care than the other.

Wellbeing and community
- Non-health related typologies could act as programs enabling the transition from sick to well, from confinement to independence. The conventional pathway to wellness has always been to stay in bed, get served food and make the occasional visit outdoors. they also also faced with having to put up with inhumane spaces. However, my wellness process goes from the patient being dependent to being independent. By ‘normalizing’ place in hospitals I provide a model for enhancement that also includes the wellbeing of patients. I propose embedding programs that are culturally relevant to care and place in today’s contemporary society (left)

ABOUT VIEWS Staff I had talked to often mention that the saving grace is the linear corridor and the spectacular views in the current hospital ward, and I wanted to preserve that in my design. While the legibility of space has been shown through the use of few, common public corridors, the proposed buildings are also arranged in a way so the inpatient wards still gain maximum views towards the greenscape and the lake.

ACCESSING NATURAL VIEWS
A. Views from inpatient wards are elongated and framed to provide an atmosphere of generous serenity and spaciousness. Taken from the communal lounge at the tip of the inpatient ward. B. Windows are site just above the bed level for patients to be able to partake in the views from their bed while they are being cared for, or when sitting down at their table eating a meal. Taken from the mental health unit, sited next to the lake.

LIGHTWELLS TO ACCESS PLACE FOR CARE
Elevations with lightwells
Example of a cross section showing lightwells, with the community health and education buildings
Often it cannot be helped that hospital buildings are inherently larger than most buildings; with a deeper floor plan, it is harder to get an actual view of the natural landscape. The incorporation of light-wells then allows the access of light, air and internal open spaces (or courtyards). The above simple massing strategy shows light-wells cut into buildings to increase the sense of connectivity to external place – to views and to sky, and to life.

REFLECTIONS ‘How can design attitudes towards the hospital evolve to reclaim its role as a place of care? Shifting paradigms necessitate efforts to refresh the hospital that is both functionally effective and culturally connected’ to reclaim their civic roles in communities by attaching symbolic meaning and local sense of place.1 Apart from issues of lifestyle, aesthetics, or specific relation to the reconstituted hospital and medical center, the field of healthcare architecture had not fostered a tradition of research, and there is a paucity of nursing research that focuses on congruous person-environment interactions and merits of the physical design of a treatment setting are much discussed, but infrequently tested in empirical ways. Generally, research has overlooked the role of the physical environment in patient well-being, and that the research process in health care settings is exceedingly difficult.2 This thesis continued as an investigation into a whole host of opportunities outside of healthcare. The main intention of the thesis was to investigate how design attitudes can evolve towards the treatment of hospital design as a subject of renewed architectural exploration. To a great extent, the thesis was an opportunity to re-consider my personal attitude towards hospital design. By bringing out key points for discussion at the beginning of the thesis, I had attempted to extract what is demonstrated as paeleologic issues – prehistoric arguments that has its roots in stiff attitudes and is relatively impervious to logical analysis. Place and care has been made as clear and comprehensive as possible throughout the written component of the thesis and the process of design follows loosely in line with the findings of the thesis. The level of local appropriateness also offers enormous scope for the architectural content of my proposal. The idea of place and care has however not been mentioned explicitly within the body of the design process; not only is it less defined, but also exponentially harder to define, and many subsequent design decisions made were based not only on what was gathered from research, but on personal and instinctive opinions and philosophies of care and place. Despite the depth of research input into the discussion around care and place, to me the essence of these qualities still remain vague and subjective and applies to anyone, regardless of whether they are sick or well.

Gaining insight into the healthcare system in order to design care in place was a significant challenge. One of the things I would have done differently in my design process would have been learning to let go of the bureaucratic nature of hospital design, and not letting the rules and restrictions get in the way of creating great architectural moments. It is impossible to omit the fact that many of the issues hospitals faced and still currently face are due to the need to conform to systems and number-crunching that tends to dilute the presence of care and place. Economic imperatives in healthcare delivery are after all, process driven, and the search for perfection, at several stages, becomes so pervasive to the point that notions of explicit meaning and cultural relevance feel lost. This is also not restricted to the hospital management system, programmatics, decanting between different hospitals, and number-crunching. I have since come to conclude that hospital design is a – horrifyingly – wicked issue, where solutions for care need to be holistic and multi-faceted because at many times it is not the architecture, but the rules and regulations and bureaucracy that suppresses any potentially exuberant design. 3 Numerous studies reveal that many of the weaknesses of the hospital were a function of the necessarily evil constraints under which design was produced.4 Additionally, as much as advocates for deinstitutionalization promote a reduction in the size of built form, the enormity of hospital compared to many other buildings cannot be simply removed, and the mere provision of domestic accoutrements does not necessarily counteract institutionalization. I found that any design solution can only be effective if it relates to a particular context and its inhabitants.5 In the end, perhaps caring and contextually sympathetic architecture is only be conceived in terms of their materiality but also as the material embodiment of human relations in all their variability and variety6 For example, it needs an appreciation of the role the environment plays in meeting fundamental psychological needs such as stimulation, security and identity. All this requires an approach to the design and organization of space that does not treat it, as so much architecture does, as a physical construct, but as a social and psychological one.7 In that respect, the design practice of the thesis findings shifted from addressing built form, to that of a large, human-scale and diffused therapeutic community where treatment and counseling were inextricably interrelated. In the care process, patients should be enabled to play an active part in their own and one another’s healing process and be able to continue their personal lifestyle as much as possible.8 The existence of normal people in hospitals are 3 4 5 6 7 8

then the game changers,9 for people are attracted to nice places; More people in place makes everyone feel at home and makes architecture look inviting. Hence we have a whole range of facilities that makes healthcare look normal. It is in this context that architecture returns again to a prominent role: it becomes an advocate of cultural trends, which require an adjustment of architectural spaces beyond their functionality. Openness and clarity of structure in place become paramount for a hospital, not only from a functional but also from a cultural point of view. There is a serious cultural role for a health-care facility in the contemporary world. A modern hospital can potentially enhance inclusiveness and social cohesion, and since hospital spaces have both a functional and cultural meaning, they deserve more mention in medical education.10 They will loom ever larger in our lives, even if our stays may be shorter. In the end, my hospital design does not really propose a solution; there are no surefire ways to a wicked issue such as hospital design! However, it proposes possibilities about how architecture can act as a part of a broader cultural process which helps people through illness and reintegrates hospital back in its place. Charles Jencks’ comparison to an architectural placebo Is intriguing for it acknowledges the powerlessness of architecture to exert real medical benefits, but they can reintroduce an idea that architecture can be at the heart of health and that the hospital, possibly the most hybrid of all building types, could once again play a richer and more compelling role in culture and the city.11
