LAHORE INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES
Location: Barki Road, Lahore
This project was done as my bachelor’s thesis.
The project was to create a holistic medical complex after an intensive study of the intricacies of the health care systems. The objective was to create a stress relieving model of health care practice which would promote healing. The project demanded that the integrity of the Hospital be maintained as well as keeping the traveling distance of Medical students as well as the Professors and paraphernelia staff convenient.
The master plan of the site was developed keeping in mind: The orientation with respect to the sun, the road as well as the accessibilityand the placement of the private and public areas on the site. Water bodies and softscape were incorporated into the design to enhance the serene and thereapeutic nature of the Complex.
The design cosisted of a 500 bed Teaching hospital with an affiliated Medical & Dental college on the premises, residential facilities for various staff members as well as students was also designed.
The Design Concept was based on creating an integrated set of facilities that would cater to the needs of the user by providing a legible and therapeutic environment at appropriate places.
The cultural context of Lahore wasreflected by using bricks. It was used for its colour and texture to enhance the building character and associate it with the city.
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
The Inpatient wards and the Private rooms were kept at the back of the Hospital in a realtively private area. The Operation theatres were designed above the Emergency ward with easy access from the Emergency and the Diagnostics Facilities. the Intensive care units were also kept in direct access to the Operation Theatres so there are minimum chances of wound contamination. As the hospital is a Teaching hospital for Medical and Dental College, a Dental department of 75 chairs was also desined. This was desined above the O.P.D. Classrooms and seminar rooms were also desgned within the Hospital for Medical and Dental Students. The services were designed in the basement keeping in mind their importance and linkages to the major department. Such as the C.S.S.D was designed next to the laundry with direct linkages to the Operation Theatres as well as the Emergency department. The importance of these services was kept in mind in realtion to the necessity of their being away from the public interference
The planning of the Hospital was the focus of the project. The concept of a central Hospital Street was developed. This central artery connected the major departments. it created a buffer zone between the Inpatient areas and the Outpatient rush. In Pakistan it is normal for families to accompany the patients. This creates a huge amount of extra traffic. So it also catered as a catchement zone for the visitors.
The Street had internal trees to creat an intersting ambiance as well as a fresh enviornment. Internal courtyards and atriums were designed to carry on the concept of therapeutic enviornment. The Hospital was planned designing the outpatient activity areas such as the Emergency, Outpatient department and the Diagnostics on the Ground floor in the relatively public front zone.
