SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
PROJECT SYNOPSIS: The project goal is to provide affordable “patient-ready” healthcare facilities that adopt the principles of local and community healthcare needs while emphasizing sustainable best practices. By focusing on natural resources, conservation strategies and maintainability, this new model for healthcare is required to be adaptable to various health needs and sites throughout Africa. The design promotes the following features: SUSTAINABLE / OFF-GRID SOLUTIONS, GLOBALLY ADAPTABLE, MODULAR CONSTRUCTION and a NEW MODEL FOR HEALTHCARE. The concept utilizes a modular system strategy that assimilates to local programmatic needs, accelerates the construction process and acts as a response to site specific climate and infrastructure challenges. Additionally, the team was tasked by the client to provide modern medical facilities and services with minimal reliance on mechanical cooling systems while utilizing an insulated sandwich panel system. The outer and inner courtyards, set by the module, are the unifying elements between programmed structures containing various medical and infrastructure services. Connections through the exterior walkways from the outer courtyards to the inner courtyards are choreographed for the modules to connect the medical spaces to the larger community. The project concept is presented in four primary components: COURTYARD, MODULAR CONCEPT, SUSTAINABILITY / OFF-GRID and ADAPTABLE SITE.
