*헤르조그 어린이병원 계획안, 중정으로 통하는 길 [ herzog & de meuron ] kinderspital zurich

헤르조그가 제안하는 새로운 어린이 병원

어린이 병원은 두가지 프로그램을 건축이라는 매개체를 이용하여 통합합니다.

앞과 뒤의 구분없이 연속적인 버티컬 플레이트는 에어아트리움을 둘러쌓아

이 병원에 하늘로 열린 작은 중정을 만듭니다.

막힘없이 순환되는 중정은 이곳을 찾는 환자 또는 단순 방문객에게는

평온함과 안락함을 이곳의 의학프로그램을 이용하는 거주민들에게는

연구소로 인도하는 시작점으로 작용합니다.

공간의 노드점은 공간의 시작이자, 중간이고 마지막입니다.

각각 어린이연구소의 중정과 연구소의 중정은 물리적인 거리를 떠나

그렇게 링크되어 있습니다. 어쩌면 지극히 지오메트릭을 반영한 결과 일 수도 있을 것 같습니다.

breaking the usual hospital typology, basel-based herzog & de meuron's kinderspital children's hospital in zurich switzerland establishes a new standard in the relationship between 'patient' and 'facility.' composed of two programatically differing yet architectonically mirroring structures, the kinderspital focuses its attention on the comfort and well being of those who inhabit it, whether for medical or research purposes.

while one element consists in the treatment of patients, the other assumes the task of medical research and the dissemination of new advancements. both buildings are made up of layered geometries: the orthogonal representing private medical spaces,
while the circular denotes public gathering spaces. this concept brilliantly showcases what each piece of the project is truly about: the hospital integrates rectilinear elements punctuated with nodes of circular gathering spaces while the research facility is itself a circle, lending to the idea that information is defined entirely as a public right.

wood predominates the material palette, wrapping the facades and interiors. apart from resonating with the contextual identity of the pastoral lengg district in which it resides, the architects believe that the use of timber also creates a more hospitable atmosphere for patients, doctors, and visitors alike.
