Description
The building is structured around three large bands that divide the hospital according to its three main functions: public access and outpatient consultations (CCEE), hospitalization and diagnostics, and private areas. These bands, each composed of several independent pavilions, are connected transversally by two large longitudinal corridors. One of the project’s key features is the intentional displacement of the three main bands to create overlapping pavilions along half of their depth, thus avoiding a rigid volumetric layout based on simple repetition.
Structures
The structure is solved with metal structure based on successive frames of trusses of 14m (width of each pavilion). The yards are solved by creating two large longitudinal frameworks. At the same time those frameworks facilitate the creation of higher areas, designed to accommodate facilities that provide a more dynamic view of the roof.
.
The three main access areas : public, emergencies and freights, are solved with pavilions of 35m range and large profiles instead of frames, to give a sense of largeness
