Project

The organization and arrangement of the hospital within the site is determined by the hospital entrances, the orientations, and the topographic conditions of the terrain.
A large park is planned that connects the hospital with the city. Its character and atmosphere are designed according to the needs of the hospital. The green space and trees extend as far as the courtyards of the hospitalization units, connecting the hospital with the park.
In front of the facade to Av. Baix Llobregat there is a strip of green land with a topography that protects the outpatient’s area and the hospital from the noise of the traffic from the avenue. The main entrance to the hospital is via this green area, at the highest point of the site.
The main entrance to the health center is independent and is located on the north facade, closer to the public transport stops. The emergencies entrance is placed at the lowest level, at the northeast end of the site. Healthcare and public traffic are segregated to avoid interferences between them and ensure good orientation.
Other important criteria during the conception of the project have been the desire to plan sunny hospitalization units with good views, considering the natural light and the choice of materials to build a hospital at the service of people.
