An approach that begins from the interior – that is, from the needs of the hospital population – to imagine an internal urban design that is extended towards the exterior to build the relation with the future South districts of the Island.
A reflection on the city - hospital interface.
A design method centred on five major areas:
- Medical functionalities,
- Notions of fractioning and identification,
- The desire to create a continuous collective space,
- The design of urban figures, including a reflection on the scalability of a hospital via modularity, externalisation and extension,
- Architectural expressions of a general tonality, "lights of the estuary"
