Brief

The project will begin with an analysis of the existing building and the proposed scheme for its replacement as well as an expanded study of the wider area of the hospital grounds based on research from the prior semester.

The site area is bordered by Benatska street on the south, with a view into the Botanical Gardens, a power generator station to the west, parking areas to the east, and other hospital buildings to the north. Each side of the site area has a different terrain condition which must be addressed in the project.

The specific program will be generally defined as partmedical/part-educational, as a pavilion for ear nose and throat care and dental surgery with its required supporting programs, in combination with multiple internal and public educational programs such as seminar rooms, laboratories, library, auditorium and exposition hall.

The diploma project proposal will take into consideration the sloping terrain, the immediate surroundings — including adjacent streets and buildings — as well as the potential reuse of the existing structure on site (or in part) and the requirements of parking and public access.

Site analysis Urban context General University Hospital provides basic as well as specialized outpatient or inpatient care for children and adults.

They also provide comprehensive pharmaceutical care, including technologically demanding preparations of cytostatic and sterile individually prepared medicinal products, transfusion services and medical transport services.

The 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University offers extensive resources not only for diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing care, but also for teaching, and scientific research.

The hospital has the longest tradition of academic medicine in the Czech Republic. From its foundation in 1790, it remains the largest research medical institution and the main teaching institution of the First Faculty of Medicine in the country.

Cooperating with many other educational institutions from all over the Czech Republic.

General University Hospital is located in Prague 2, situated between Charles square, I.P. Pavlova metro station and Vysehrad. This hospital is not just a building, it is a city in the city. The Prague General Hospital city is comprised of hospital buildings, university buildings, technical facilities, walls, streets, parks, public spaces and its own transport.

Such a large system creates its own difficulties in accessibility and coordination within and between hospital grounds.

Navigation is unreadable and confusing, walls built around the blocks to protect hospital spaces disrupt essential access and destroy street lines.

Scale 1:7500

The hospital grounds are surrounded by greenery - the Botanical Garden, the Katerinska Garden, the Lost Garden, and the French garden on Charles Square. There are also many green spaces inside the hospital blocks, thus all bordering on roads or parking lots, rendering them difficult to use.

Site analysis Urban context The Prague General University Hospital, based on Charles Square, owes its birth to Emperor Joseph II. General hospitals were to care for the poor, in nursing homes poor women were giving birth. The hospital was also supposed to be found, orphanages, sickness for the poor, chronically ill patients, and an early psychiatric clinic. The original proposals included the placement of the hospital in the monastery and prelature on Karlov, the maternity hospital in the capitular house of St. Apollinaire, and the madhouse and sickness to the former monastery of St. Kateriny. The other hospital buildings were gradually built, urban space was constantly changing, new parts were added to the old buildings over the years. Such a gradual development of the territory introduced a kind of chaotic structure in the inner space of the hospital.

Site analysis Building context The area of the pavilion A7 is located in the Southeast of the hospital campus, between Charles square and the Botanical garden. The terrain forms three terraces, where hospital buildings are located. Steep slopes separate buildings from each other and create stairs and ramps connections.

There is Benatska street on the south, but the hospital wall blocks access to the building. Parking is occupied the whole area on the east of the Pavilion and courtyard, which creates an unpleasant and unsafe experience. There is a botanical garden across Benataska street, which provides a pleasant view from the south facades of the Pavilion A7 and two pavilions above it.

The building itself represents different architecture from the 20th century, as it was built gradually through several decades.

One of the facades represents modernist architecture and has a view connection with the main entrance to the area.

Facade preservation

Due to the terrain and building context, Pavilion A7 is separated from the other buildings with the slope, which creates undefined space, which is occupied with cars.

The new design of the Pavilion A7 provides a new square between buildings with the preserved facade in the head of it.

This brings a new quality to space - preserved facade becomes a landmark of the area, which will help patients and pedestrians orient in the complex space. The square becomes a vital node, where people can take a breath between intense surroundings.

Street line formation

The existing wall along the Pavilion A7 creates a long street without another context, making the street uncomfortable and long.

The new proposal breaks the wall, and the building creates a new street line with public space in front. Access to the hospital now is available directly from Benatska street. All parking was moved to the building’s underground levels with the entrance from Benatska street, which allows having space in front of the building for drop-off cars.

Volume concept

The concept of the volume appeared to form the terrain. The building became a continuation of the terrain terraces, which connects them, preventing the creation of the stairs connection on the site. Due to this principle, building growing horizontally and not vertically allows the view to the Botanical garden for a building behind.

Almost all building roofs have access and provide resting spaces for patients, doctors and students.

Building usage Hybrid program The building is a hybrid of education and medicine. So the program will create three parts: medical, educational and shared spaces.

Students&Professors are locating in the education part of the building, but they have practice classes in laboratories and internship in medical parts.

Doctors are located in the medical part, but they can give lectures for students as well.

Patients and visitors are using the medical part of the building and are not allowed in some of the shared spaces, as laboratories and in the education part.

Technical report Cover report Identification data Project name: Healing garden.

Architect: Victoria Gerasimova Location: Czech Republic, Prague, New Town, U Nemocnice 499/2, Pavilion A7 Type of building: Medical/educational institution Architectural studio: Schindler/Fessler ARCHIP Year: 2021 Concept and Context Site The project site is located insight the campus area of General University Hospital, in New Town, Prague 2 district, between Charles square and the Botanical garden.

The site terrain forms three terraces, where hospital buildings are located. Steep slopes separate buildings from each other and create stairs and ramps connections.

Location The plot is located on the south age of the campus and faces the Botanical garden. There is an electric utility structure on the West. The entrance to the hospital area from Benatska street for cars and pedestrians is on the east. Plot faces |Pavilion A8 on the NorthNorth.

Accessibility Public access to the building is provided on the firsts level – from Benatska street on the South and from the public space on the East – and on the third level – from the hospital area.

Ambulance access is located on the first level from Benatska street and connected directly with the emergency department.

The entrance to the car parking levels is on the southwest edge of the plot on Benatska street.

Supply and disposal access is located on the second level on the northeast and connects with the car access to the hospital area from Benatska street.

92

Spatial concept The design of the project creates a new structure with preserved northern facade in ahead of it. The volume of the project continues the existing terrain terraces and creates connections with Benatska street on the South and Pavilions A8 and A6 on the North. Voids in the building and enclosed terrain provide light inside the building and creates places for resting.

Program concept The building is a hybrid of education and medicine, so that the program will create three parts: medical, educational and shared spaces. The users of the building are students and professors, doctors and hospital staff, patients and visitors. These users are distributed in the program of the building, which creates different levels of accessibility. The square meters for program elements are: Shared spaces (2703 m2): Tower entrance hall – 345 m2 Street entrance hall – 608 m2 Cafeteria - 422 m2 Auditorium – 107 m2 Exposition hall – 258 m2 Laboratories – 963 m2 Medical spaces (4197 m2): Emergency – 1025 m2 ENT department – 632 m2 Radiology – 445 m2 Dental surgery – 520 m2 Inpatient ward – 1321 m2 Hospital administration – 254 m2 Educational spaces (1034 m2): Seminar rooms – 322 m2 Library – 388 m2 University administration – 324 m2 Parking – 4084 m2 Technical rooms – 1445 m2

Structure

Building info The building has a wide terraced shape with a tower on the North. The building is partly under the ground due to the terrain slope. Skylights in the building provide light to the middle part of the building.

Length: 85.000 m Width: 46.000 m Height: 28.000 m Footprint: 3.650 m Load-bearing system The building structure consists of 8 structural floor elements carried by columns, load-bearing walls, and concrete foundations.

Reinforced concrete column structure in floors above the ground has two directions to follow the building shape.

There are two types of columns – square 300 mm width on the grid lines and circle 300 mm width on the intersection of grid lines. The column system will be supporting reinforced concrete slabs. Circulation cores are working as stiffening to support structure. Underground floors have a different grid of columns to provide space for parking flow. Weight from columns above will be distributed through the load-bearing slab 800mm thickness to the column grid below, with 500 mm width. Foundation with spot footing will support the structure above, distributing stress to the ground.

Facade The building envelope includes two structural facades – glazed and stone.

Ventilated Stone Cladding System is fixed to the load-bearing structure with the MS subframe, where stone elements connect on interlocking channels. The combined effect of this structure is to leave a small cavity just a few centimetres wide which forms an air pocket between the interior and exterior surfaces, which allows the free movement of air. The cavity in the ventilated facade causes lower dispersion of the interior heat during winter months and allows the air to be constantly

recycled, thereby preventing the heat from condensing and becoming ‘concentrated’ during summer. In addition to thermal insulation, ventilated dry cladding systems also provide excellent acoustic sound insulation, reducing external sound to almost 20 per cent.

Roof The building has only flat roofs; most of them are accessible. The thickness of the roof structure is 700 mm. Green roof will be using in the project. They provide environmental advantages such as temporarily absorption stormwater and releasing it again slowly hence preventing floods due to the sewer network overflowing, filtration of urban pollution and reducing carbon dioxide, cooling the air by evapotranspiration of water vapour, reducing wind speed, promoting the settlement of animal ecosystems, reducing the transmission of noise inside the building, reducing the effects of “urban heat islands”, increasing the heat resistance of the roof, protecting the waterproof covering and increase its lifetime.

The roof consists of skylights to provide light inside the building and create a pleasant atmosphere.

Walls Most of the walls inside are partitions. This creates flexibility inside the building, as hospitals are required due to technological progress and updating of equipment and requirements to the hospital institutions.

Circulation The building has two main circulation cores with staircases and elevators. Special bed elevators located in the medial part of the building. All staircases are fireprotective. And has direct access to the street.

A technical elevator is located in the northeast corner of the building and connects directly with supply and disposal access.

Technical report Building technologies Electricity/Water/Gas The piping for electricity, water and gas have two systems of travelling; vertically and horizontally. The pipes and cables are guided through the entire building using pre-planned shafts that are integrated into the wall and structural system. They are then transported horizontally through the suspended ceilings and drywalls, which are not structural due to a columns system used instead. The hot water supply comes from the municipal water supplies since an on-site variant would be less efficient for such a large scale project.

The appropriate switchgear, transformer and emergency power system are located in its own building on the West of the project site. The emergency power system continues to supply certain defined equipment in case of a mains failure. An additional emergency power supply is provided for lighting in operating theatres and certain vital medical devices.

Due to the medical purpose of the building, there is high electricity consumption. Photovoltaic panels will be installed on roofs to solve this issue partly. The location of the building is quite efficient for this purposes, and there are no buildings on the South which could block sunlight.

Suspended ceilings Suspending ceilings will appear in rooms where it is required to provide space for air ducts, water pipework lighting elements, sprinkler pipework. The spacing between the bottom of the slab and the top of the suspended ceiling will be variable from 400 mm to 550 mm due to purpose.

Precipitation management Part of the aim of this project was to reduce the water consumption in general for black and for greywater. The precipitation downfall is led from all the roofs to the tank on the minus second level, which stores and filters the water captured. This water is used mainly as flashing

water but also to water the greenery in roof gardens and garden on the west side of the building. The tank consists of two parts - a warm and a cold water tank.

HVAC The ventilation is mainly driven by an HVAC system, which is placed in the technical area on the minus second level. The suspended ceiling is depending on the space requirement. It is introduced so that all the necessary functions of the HVAC systems can be backed in it. The energy supply company once again powers the HVAC system.

Supply and disposal management At the northeast corner of the second level can be found access for delivering supplies and collecting waste, leading to the minus second level where storages are located. Due to the location of supply and disposal rooms, the area around the building will not be polluted by freestanding litter.

Parking New underground parking is provided on the minus first and minus second levels. It accommodates 82 cars.

Underground parking provide carfree space on the street.

There is a drop-off space for taxis in front of the entrance on Benatska street.

Fire safety The fire safety management is handled by the municipal department of Prague 2. Due to the last floor height of 20 meters, the fire department will still have the possibility to access each floor with their ladders. The fire safety inside the building is ensured by the staircases, regulating the airflow. In addition to that, sprinklers are montages where needed and fed by the municipal water supply and the water tank in the minus second level.

The egress system was designed in accordance with the egress requirement of the model building codes.

Scale 1:2500

Building circulation is operating as enclosed exit stairways and elevators in a smoke proof shaft for disabled persons.

One circulation shaft will have enclosed protected corridors leading to the street at the first level, and the other one has a direct exit to the street through ambulance access. All of the spaces are equipped with mechanical smoke extractors and sprinkler systems, which get activated by smoke detectors, and the placed T30 doors regulate the spread of smoke around the buildings.

Telecommunications and IT The correct functioning of telephone and data networks in a hospital is needed for the care of patients and the basis for economic success. A central telecommunications room and one server room is located on the minus first level. Speech communication in administrative areas is provided by analogue and digital telephones connected directly to a central telephone system. Each patient room is provided with a patient operating panel with call light, signal connections for wall-mounted TV and bedside devices and sockets for telephone and Internet access.

When a patient presses the call button, the light signal system communicates with the locations where the care staff have logged in.

The prioritisation of calls: - patient call - WC call - emergency call - resuscitation call Cameras are provided to monitor the entrance areas, access roads and specific areas; the images are sent through a central cross-loop to the monitors for observation.

The operating units for the telecommunications components are installed in the hospital administration rooms on the first level.

Case studies LHL Hospital, Norway The LHL hospitalТs designed by Nordic - Office of Architecture. The hospital forms the core of a commercial cluster primarily consisting of healthcare-related businesses, such as medicine, research, technology, services and preventive medicine, as well as other knowledge-based activities.

The design was based on creating a space where staff and patients would feel like owners of the place.

Architects created light and relaxing spaces to provide a healing atmosphere. The hospital looks more like a retreat than a usual hospital. Material choices reflect the balance between qualities for a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere and the requirements for medical efficiency.

The program was designed to provide a more efficient way of circulation - work-intensive areas such as ambulance reception, helicopter pad, and goods delivery are located near access zones, while patient beds, rehabilitation areas, and visitor accommodation face the surrounding green landscape.

The project and surroundings work with people and create a healing atmosphere.
