multispeciality hospital case study architecture

Multi-Speciality Hospital by Ishika Mukherjee

Hospitals are a dynamic organisation. They have been changing to adapt to the advancement in the field of medicine, as well as the socio-economic changes around them. But the ambience of a typical hospital continued to stay stark and often dreary. But in the present day, as design innovation and thinking gradually starts to spill over to the various public sectors – like healthcare, institutions, education among others – I had the opportunity to propose a healing environment. A well designed, holistic environment in a hospital would not only be uplifting to one’s immediate mood but also affect their mental health in the long run.

Architects:  Ishika Mukherjee Location: India

The aim of the project was to rethink the usual hospital and create a more warm and comforting atmosphere, while still accommodating the sterile nature as well as the functional efficiency of one, especially in terms of transition and circulation of the patients, visitors and staff.

THE SITE AND CHALLENGES

The site for the 100 bed, a multi-speciality hospital is located in Yadavgiri, Mysore. Although the locale is primarily residential, there was railway track and a factory that overlooked the site. The functionality of the space had to position such that no disturbance is caused – from the railway/ factory to the patients, or from the patients to the residences nearby. The site was also immediately flanked by the main road prone to heavy traffic and noise pollution.

SPATIAL PLANNING

Every zone was planned such that each gets immediate connectivity to the next possible stage of Medicare – for instance, the outpatient department had a close proximity to the Labs, as did the emergency trauma care unit; whereas the in-patient department was kept upstairs, since it didn’t need to be accessed immediately by an outsider.

The two blocks of the hospital, simply put emergency and non-non-emergency were connected together through glass walkways within the dense green spaces, giving one the feeling of walking in a forest. The spaces were also placed keeping in mind the noisier zones and the remote zones of the site.

BRINGING IN NATURE

It has been scientifically proven and spiritually taught that nature is, in fact, the best healer. My preliminary idea to make space more “healing” was to bring in pieces of nature, however, in ways that do not affect hygiene.

The built area had 4 dense patches of green, the plan was to plant trees, plants and saplings at the initial stage, and let the ecosystem develop on its own over time, says a lot of maintenance. Aside from the dense patches, there are also smaller cubes of plants in the double height areas -foyer and cafeteria, making it feel like a park. The green areas not only make the environment feel comforting and healing but also act as insulation for sound.

Covering about 16% of the buildable area, the project is planned to succinct and efficient. While designing it was also kept in mind that no existing trees were harmed, only new trees added. All of the trees on the inside were to be transferred in from local areas.

MATERIALS AND STRUCTURE

The primary material for the building was to be Hempcrete. Hempcrete is a concrete made out of hemp. The material super lightweight, strong and easy to work with. The material, being lightweight is also easy to support, while extremely resilient.

The floor height of space is about 4m, giving a person enough room so the area does not feel claustrophobic. Between each ceiling-floor slab is an area of 1.2m. This area is used for 1. Services like pipelines, O2 lines and HVAC; and 2. Depth for the garden’s soil to fit in.

The jail walls were designed to act as a contemporary Indian aesthetic, a way to let in air and sunlight in private spaces, as well as to submerge ducts. The massive roof gave the first floor, inpatient area a height of 7m at places. The structure is supported by a simple space frame, that again, adds volume to space.

The building is designed to be made of ecological materials, while also adding to the greens of Mysore. The ambience is simple, straight-forward, yet natural and remedial.

PSRI Multi-specialty hospital at New Delhi by Creative Designer Architects

• May 21, 2018

Follow ArchitectureLive! Channel on WhatsApp

With the human population ballooning incessantly and its detrimental lifestyles, the need for supplemental healthcare infrastructure has been on rise lately. PSRI hospital, A decade old facility housed in the suburbs of New Delhi felt its need to expand on a 1.5 acre parcel of land, abutting the existing facility. The new wing was envisaged as an multi-specialty expansion of the existing with discrete entries, out-patient, day care and in-patient facilities and jointly usable specialised departments such as biliary sciences,  dialysis etc. Due to the unprecedented expansion, The two isolated blocks were supposed to be as unified as possible making the functioning of departments efficient and the circulation of patients and staff easier.

The new addition is a holistic advancement of existing facility with a more dynamic & patient friendly approach. The magnificent entrance portico rested between the two blocks demands prominence and attention. The re-planned vehicular circulation allows for the visitor to drop-off at the entrance of both the blocks before parking their cars into the basement. The new expansion being a tight-fitting block with no major visual connect with respect to the scale of the building, The exterior’s were meant to be an understated yet modern prototype of the existing block’s design. The restricted design approach creates a contemporary rendering of the existing block, manifesting evolution. The exterior palette is mainly in whites which is colour of tranquillity, complimented by beige highlights.  The underplay of the exterior is broken by  more pedestrianised elements such the protruding out coffee shop in the front and the multi-height green wall overlooking a number of departments.

The ground floor which houses the OPD’s along with endoscopy and some day care facilities unfolds with an inviting double height entrance lobby accentuating the experience for the visitor’s entering the facility. The foyer leads to the two lift cores placed on either side of the block, discrete for the visitor and the hospital staff to augment controlled circulation. The OPD’s sit in the South-Eastern corner receiving natural light and a direct visual connect to the multi-height green wall outside, which was created to compensate for the paucity of horizontal green in the site. The careful placement of departments prioritize  a patient friendly approach and virtual unification with the departments in the existing block.

In order to seamlessly integrate the two blocks, An iconic bridge connection overlooking the towering green wall is made on the first floor, further accentuating the transition from  old to the new block. Moving up, Departments such as dialysis, Preventive health etc are housed on the first floor followed by Intensive care Units on the second  and OT’s on the third floor. The In-patient floors are on the top, sandwiched by a service floor in between the OT and IPD floor, making the augmentation of services much easier such as housing the AHU’s of the OT’s  and the dispersion of the plumbing and medical shafts of the IPD floors. This expansion is a fairly significant model of how existing healthcare facilities can grow with the increase in the demand for beds and facilities. The functional unification of the new block through basement tunnels and over heads bridge connections testify the approach towards unified growth of existing healthcare facilities.

Structural engineering is a field of building managing the investigation and plan of structures that help or stand up to loads which is typically viewed as a claim to fame inside structural designing. This field for the most part relies on a point by point information of burdens, physical science, and materials to comprehend and anticipate how structures support and oppose self-weight and forced loads. As indicated by this paper, the basic designer is to outline the structures for a given arrangement of the individual structures under most secure innovation in the processing field. This product procedure influences the auxiliary specialists to determine every one of the individuals in a proposed working with different loads and bolster conditions. All these products are created as the premise of cutting edge and prerequisite. Limited component investigations, which incorporate the impact of dynamic load, for example, wind impact, seismic tremor impacts and so on. The main aim of this paper is to study the methods implemented in the previous studies. The findings of this literature review are analyzed to implement in the case study under consideration. Analyze the plan of hospital building by using software technique, under this title we are discussed the various structures design procedure by limit state method. In this hospital it is helpful to all kinds of people like poor or rich. The patients not necessary to go outside of campus, all the facilities are available inside of campus. This hospital building contains the various departments. The various departments are contained in this building like ENT, Surgery, Neurology, Cardiology, Pediatrics', Urology, and etc. In this project we have designed the following structures design of slab (one way slab and two way slabs), design of beam, design of column, design of staircase, design of ramp, design of footing. The plinth area of this building is 2956m 2. This is a G+5 structure. This project has M25 grade of concrete and Fe415 grade of steel used to design of above structure.

A hospital is a place of health care that offers patient care using professional medical and nursing personnel and equipment. A healthcare building comprises many departments including Emergency, Out Patient Department (OPD), In-Patient Department (IPD), Diagnostic, Surgery and other Specialties. Design of a healthcare building is a challenging task and students / professionals often remain clueless about the applicable standards and approach of architectural design for such buildings. Building services, materials and the maintenance aspects make the task further complex. An attempt has been made to present the aspects related to space requirements for healthcare building before the user group. The objective of this study is to explore and analyse the space requirements of healthcare buildings as per applicable standards and established practices. The room wise comprehensive area requirements for various zones are proposed which can be considered as ready reckoner. Such a database shall facilitate the students of architecture, architects building industry professionals involved in the design of hospitals and healthcare buildings. Various books, documents, standards and codes related to design and requirements of healthcare facilities of various types/magnitudes were studied, together with the manufacturer's data for various Equipment. A comprehensive study of various space requirements for different departments in the hospital buildings was carried out and inferences and design implications were drawn. The area charts are prepared for all the zones of a hospital building considering the common amenities and circulation areas, appropriately. The relationship chart is prepared to graphically represent the outcome. There were gaps in the literature available so far and zone or department wise comprehensive area requirements were not available and hence user group were to struggle to formulate area statements for a hospital building. This paper presents the room wise area requirements for various zones in hospital building in comprehensive manner, which can be used as ready reckoner by architects and building professionals.

In Nyagatare district (Eastern province “Rwanda”) there is a sector called Rwimiyaga where the cell called Rutungo is located. This cell has neither Hospital nor health centers. The people make long journey to the adjacent health center in Matimba and Bugaragara whereby they spent much money which result in making pregnant women to give birth at home. To solve this issue a design of one storey modern hospital of 3914 square meters of built-up area and 31315 cubic meters has been done to these inhabitants in order to take care of their life. The use of computer software to represent appropriate drawings and manual means for doing calculations in the design has done. The ministries in charge of health and infrastructure are recommended to support this project of construction of Modern hospital because researches done showed that there is a need of this hospital.

Dogchitecture: WE Architecture Designs a Center That Challenges Traditional Animal Shelters

• Written by Ella Comberg

Copenhagen firm WE Architecture has completed a proposal for a “Dog Center” in Moscow that challenges traditional notions of animal shelters. Nestled in the countryside, the one-story pavilion will rely on a series of courtyards divided by pergolas that disappear into the landscape. The firm notes that the courtyards, which provide enclosed outdoor space for the dogs , allow the center “to avoid the 'jail-like' fencing which is often associated with dog shelters."

WE, in collaboration with MASU Planning , hopes to create a “healthy and inspiring environment for sheltered dogs and for the different people who will visit and work at the Center.” The project accomplishes its atmospheric goals by complimenting steel pillars with wooden rafters. The rafters extend to create an exterior overhang which functions as “a sun screen in summer time and as an exterior cover/hallway on rainy days.” As visitors approach the building, the green roof , which sits atop the wooden rafters, is meant to serve as a “fifth facade” that can blend in easily with its wooded surroundings. Extensive outdoor seating space bleeds into greenery, inviting both human and animal recreation.
