Toward a new hospital.
This new public hospital in the South of Italy will provide 230 beds in an high quality, hotel like surroundigs.
Every room will look toward green valleys and mountains, in an higly user-friendly complex which will host an auditorium, restaurants, shops, in order to include -and not exclude- the patients in the city daily life.
These vocations are articulated in three compact functional bodies:
the hospital building (housing healthcare areas and administrative, technical and logistical support services), the service building and the technology platform.
The ventilated facades are clad in natural stone or composite wood (70% wood, 30% recycled polyester), while the flat roofs are for growing low-maintenance plant species. On the façades facing south-west and south-east, where solar radiation is more difficult to control, windows are shaded with aluminium and wooden sunshades with horizontal adjustable and motorised blades.
Approximately 50 per cent of the building work is prefabricated and dry-assembled on site. Only the main reinforced concrete structure is cast in situ, in one piece, without expansion joints, insulated from the ground with more than 300 earthquake-proof devices (isolators).
