?The Architecture

The hospital consists of four major function buildings parallelly arranged with corridors connecting each buildings. The enclosed spaces in between are designed to be courtyard gardens. The Architecture Design was inspired by the scenic mountains and rivers, the height variation echoes to the distant mountains, and the hollow fa?ade structure implies the rivers nearby. The whole building group presents not only a solemn image of a hospital but also creates a casual atmosphere for the users.

?The Landscape

In addition to meet the requirements of hospital functions, the design team concerns about the environment, too. The hospital is full of green elements, the landscape varies throughout the whole place. Including small woods, large lawn, walking path along the river, and small gardens next to the buildings. The design of landscape regards Humanistic Care as a vital core of importance. Very detail around the landscape is trying to dedicate to peaceful space to calm the anxiety of patients as well as release the exhaustion of the staff.
