Idea projektu

The foundation of this project is the virus COVID-19 that has spread throughout the world. This pandemic has shown that there is a need for constant research to prevent such viruses and to be prepared to take action against it.

Popis projektu

The design concept rests on the idea to offer a long-lasting improved CDC facility involving the community through design and construction while adopting locally sourced materials and traditional techniques. The design is based on simple considerations of accessibility and strategic flow separation to avoid cross-contamination between outpatients, inpatients, and visitors.

Technické informace

The facility harmoniously intersects with the existing residential streetscape through the use of a refined material palette, tall curtain wall, and a glass roof. The balance of the program and the principles of proportion and orientation have been achieved by having an open core wrapping the circulation around. The building takes on two masses divided by the glass “turning toward the sun” which are arranged to create a journey through the building that allows for ease of wayfinding, reduced circulation, and a functional program with minimal dead space.
