Hennu Kjisik THE POWER OF ARCHITECTURE Towards better hospital buildi
Portfolio sample 1. Master Thesis Theory support
To have a better treatment, people always have to go to the large general hospitals far away from where they live. This creates hospitals crowding, long waiting time and also high energy consumption by commuting... ... My master thesis suggests to set up a more decentralized healthcare system in the future. Health Centre will function more like community hospital. Also with the information technic developing, patients will get treatment anywhere with the same quality.
2. Projects at Chalmers
The chosen health care system, the institutional part of the competition task (accounted for in more detail in BOX 18 and Fig. 193), addressed the conflicting requirements expressed in the programme (concurrent demands for larger and smaller units) by general upscaling and General Hospitals concentration of specialised care services in Emergency Centre one “Main Asclepieion” while providing six
local “Mini Asclepieions” in order to satisfy the growing demands for small scale facilities located at short distances from peoples’ homes. The latter is reminiscent of the “nearby care” system developed in Skåne, southern Sweden, and other similar recent developments referred to in earlier chapters.

New Health Centre at Eklandagatan
Healthcare system today Patients have to go to the large general hospitals to take proper treatments. And 18% of carbon emission from hospitals is caused by transportation, this is mainly creates by the long distance commuting to the hospitals.
New hospital main entry is designed as an open space, and integrated with urban structure. My task is part of the concept design and all the model making and 3D rendering.

This design includes two phases, we firstly make urban design to set up the connection over Göta river; then choose the southern pier of Frihamnen to design a new library with flood preventing perspective.

The city of Gothenburg has been divided as ten districts, and the medical facilities of different levels could reach all parts of the city. So Gothenburg is very suitable to apply a decentralized healthcare system. I have chosen the site at Eklandagatan 80-82, which is located at the boundry between the city and residential villas. It has a huge contrast from both sides of the design plot. My idea is to connect the two parts together and make this health centre a more public space.
