5TH OF AZAR HOSPITAL FACADE DESIGN

Location: Gorgan, Iran

Year: 2021

Award: 1st place in the Design Competition

Context. Gorgan Hospital, the largest public hospital in the region with 61,000m2 GFA, was under construction when the client asked for a facade design different from the cubic and standard facades of public hospitals. The proposal won first place among twelve design proposals from the project architects in the company. Design Concept. Inspired by the local materials common in the region’s iconic architecture, the terracotta louvers as a second skin of the building have been proposed. The walkways between the outer wall and the second skin solve the problem of maintaining and cleaning the facade caused by the shortage of equipment and skilled labor in the city. The space also can be used for adding vegetation to the facade.

Project Details. The proposal has been consulted with a brick manufacturer who designed and prototyped a specific module for this project.
