ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
SHENZHEN CHILDREN ’ S HOSPITAL LONGHUA CAMPUS
DESIGNING A HEALING AND CHILD-FRIENDLY MEDICAL SPACE IN SHENZHEN ’ S URBAN CORE
The focus of the project is to explore how a medical space in the urban core with a high plot ratio and high coverage can provide an efficient and convenient treatment space while creating a warm and intimate spatial environment for the users and urban residents .
Located in the Minzhi area of Longgang District , Shenzhen , the hospital will provide treatment for children of different ages across the city and the province .
The hospital is open 24 hours a day , and in addition to providing outpatient and emergency treatment , it also has a ward space that can accommodate up to 1,500 children at any one time .
Control of architectural scale . With a total floor area of approximately 310,000 square meters , a site area of 40,000 square meters , and a floor area ratio of approximately 5.1 , the basic principle of ‘ keeping the medical building down ’ was established at the outset of the design process to create a sense of comfort and scale , and to improve the efficiency of vertical transportation .
Taking into account the requirements of urban traffic and the surrounding residential areas , a single-story four-unit layout with staggered movement in the front and back of the tower is formed , the podium is full of modular diagnostic units , and the upper and lower light courtyards are implanted to form the final planning scheme with appropriate scales .
Construction of Orderly Framework . In order to improve the unique performance requirements of medical buildings , the overall framework of the building is built under the main structure of three-dimensional superposition of horizontal and vertical main traffic , and then inlaid with a variety of independent and connected diagnosis and treatment and inpatient function modules .
It forms the shortest path from top to bottom to upgrade the process .
