CONCEPT…….A PHILOSOPHY, A THOUGHT PROCESS, A SOLUTION FOR THE DESIGN CRITERIA

CONCEPTUAL PHILOSOPHY

DIVINE BODY IN MECHANICAL BODY:

FIRST OF ALL I PERCIEVE THE HOSPITAL THAT THEY ARE

THE DIVINE BODY AS THESE BUILDINGS ARE THE

SAFEGUARDS OF THE LIFE .AND THESE BUILDINGS ARE

MECHANICAL BODY AS THEY ARE THE HIGHLY

TECHNICAL ORIENTED BUILDINGS HAVING LOT OF

SERVICES.

I WANT TO CREATE SUCH A HOSPITAL THAT GIVES THE

PATIENTS A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO

COMPRISING OF ALL THE PROVISIONS FOR THE

SERVICES AND THE EVERCHANGING MACHINES.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION” IS AN ARCHITECTURAL

DICTUM LAID DOWN BY ONE OF THE MODERN

MOVEMENT IN ARCHITECTURE’S MOST WELL KNOWN

PRACTITIONERS, LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE.AND

ON THIS CONCEPT WHOLE THING IS TO BE STRESSED .

LE CORBUSIER, ANOTHER FAMOUS MODERNIST

ARCHITECT, TALKED OF A HOUSE AS A “MACHINE

FOR LIVING IN”. BUT IN THE MEDICARE ONE CAN SAY

THAT MACHINES FOR HEALING IN

WHY CITY HOSPITAL?

THE NAME FOR THIS HOSPITAL IS CHOSEN CITY

HOSPITAL AS IT SHOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE CITY TO

CATER ALL CLASSES AS IT IS PUBLIC SECTOR HOSPITAL

SO IT SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STATUS OF

HEALTH OF THE CITY

………..that’s why city hospital

WHAT THIS BUILDING ULTIMATELY AIM AT

TOWARDS SOCIETY- THE BUILDING SHOULD BE IN HARMONY

WITH THE SOCIAL SET UP OF DWARKA.IT IS LIABLE TO CATER

ALL TYPES OF CLASSES OF THE SOCIETY

TOWARDS ENVIRONMENT- IT WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE CLIMATE OF DWARKA LIKE MINIMZE THE USE OF

GLAZING

TOWARDS ECONOMY- THE BUILDING WILL BE ECONOMICAL

AS THE SPACES ARE TO BE ARRANGED IN A DEFINITE

HIERARCHY AND WITH THE FUTURE CONSTRAINTS

TOWARDS THE ARCHITECTURE- AS THE HOSPITALS ARE

SUBJECTED TO GIVE A VERY RIGID FORM BUT MY HOSPITAL

WILL HAVE THE INTREST IN ITS ELEVATION AND THE FORM

WITH ALL THE FUNCTIONS FULFILLING.

PLANNING OF BUILDING PLANNING IS NON CENTRALIZED MANNER AND IT WILL

CATER THE LARGE NUMBER OF EMERGENCY PATIENTS AS IT

IS A TERTIARY LEVEL GOVT HOSPITAL SO EMERGENCY IS TO

BE EMPHASIZED ALONG WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS

HOSPITAL IS NOT SUBJECTED TO EXTRAORDINARY RUSH

ALL THE TIMES AS IT HAS NUMBER OF MULTISPECIALITY

HOSPITALS IN THE VICINITY.

SECTOR 10- 330 BED HOSPITAL

SECTOR 11- 300 BED HOSPITAL

SECTOR6 - 200 BED HOSPITAL.

ALONG WITH DIFFERENT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY

HOSPITALS

CONCEPTS THAT COULD BE USED IN THE DESIGN OF A

HEALTHCARE FACILITY, ENUMERATED BELOW ARE A FEW

THAT COME TO MIND.

1.AN IDEA FOR BUILDING FORM DERIVED FROM (OR

DICTATED BY!) THE PROPOSED SITE.

2.AN IDEA ABOUT HOW TO LAY OUT THE MAJOR

CIRCULATION PATHS THROUGH THE BUILDING / CAMPUS,

FOR EASE OF WAY FINDING AND EFFICIENCY OF MOVEMENT

OF STAFF, PATIENTS AND MATERIALS.

3.THE FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND AREA REQUIREMENTS

OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TAKEN POSSIBLY IN

CONSIDERATION TOGETHER WITH ALL THE ABOVE FACTORS.

4.THE CLIMATE OF THE LOCATION, OR THE WAY IN WHICH

THE BUILDING WILL BE LIT AND VENTILATED, BY ARTIFICIAL OR

NATURAL MEANS.

SITE PARAMETERS:

…aerial view of site

wind direction

STARTING WITH THE SOLUTIONS TO DESIGN

CRITERIA:

IN THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED THE CONNECTIVITY OF

VARIOUS SECTIONS AS MENTIONED IN THE DESIGN

CRITERIA

PLACEMENT OF INCINERATOR AT THE BACK AWAY

FROM THE HOSPITAL

PLACEMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC DEPARTMENT AND THE

SUPPORTING AND ENGINEERING SERVICES AT THE

BACK IN THE PODIUM BLOCK

STEP 1

AS IT IS A 500 BED HOSPITAL COMPRISING ALL THE

SPECIALTIES SO I WILL INCORPORATE A VERTICAL

HOSPITAL

THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE IN THE VERTICAL

HOSPITAL ALL THE SERVICES GET ASSEMBLED AT ONE

PLACE AND THERE IS VERY LESS FATIGUE FOR THE

HOSPITAL STAFF.

I M TAKING THE TOWER ON PODIUM CONCEPT IN

BOTH THE BLOCKS

STEP 2

IN THIS STEP I HAVE CLUBBED ALL THE DEPARTMENTS

IN THE 3 BLOCKS….NAMELY FRONT BLOCK, REAR

BLOCK AND CENTRAL BLOCK.

•THE EMERGENCY AND THE OPD IN THE FRONT

BLOCK AND ALL THE DIAGNOSTIC, SURGICAL,

WARDS AND ICU IN THE REAR BLOCK WHILE

TRANSITION AND WAITING IN THE CENTRAL BLOCK

•ALL THE ENGINEERING SERVICES ARE TO BE

CLUBBED IN THE BASEMENT OF THE REAR BLOCK

ALONG WITH THE BASEMENT PARKING

•CARE IS TAKEN OF THE MINIMUM CIRCULATION

ROUTE INSIDE THE BUILDING AND THE CENTRAL

TRANSITION AND WAITING SPACE WILL REDUCE THE

EXCESSIVE CIRCULATION IN THE OTHER TWO BLOCKS

•PLACEMENT OF SURGICAL BLOCK AND THE

DIAGNOSTIC BLOCK AT THE BACK DUE TO THE WIND

FACTOR AS THE AIR MOVEMENT ON THE SITE SHOULD

BE FROM STERILE TO NON STERILE ZONES

STEP 3

IN THIS STEP I HAVE WORKED OUT ON THE ACCESS

TO THE SITE AND THE PATTERN OF THE INTERNAL

LAYOUT OF THE SITE ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT

NATURE OF CIRCULATION ON THE SITE

•FROM THE CENTRAL POINT TAKEN THE BUILDING

EXPANDS IN ALL THE DIRECTIONS GIVING THE CLEAR

VIEW TO ALL ITS EDGES FROM THE MAIN ROADS SO

THAT THE MAIN DEPARTMENTS OF BUILDING TO BE

VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD

•SEGREGATION OF THE EMERGENCY CIRCULATION

AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ALONG WITH THE

DISCUSSION OF ENTRIES AND EXITS OF HE DOCTORS

AND THE ANCILLARY STAFF

•THE PROVISION FOR THE SEPARATE SERVICE ENTRY

IS ALSO PROVIDED
