About the Project
| Overview | Kameda General Hospital is located in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, and is a general hospital offering comprehensive medical services. The reconstruction of the existing ward, with the aim of strengthening the ward's earthquake resistance and creating a more comfortable space for users, was completed in August 2012. A new connecting building has also been opened to link the new ward with the annex. This is Medical Service Facilities has been designed with attention to detail, such as the facility layout and flow of people within the hospital, to provide an environment that provides better medical care to users. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | The exterior of the newly constructed link building was to be something that would give users a sense of security and make them feel positive when they step into the hospital. In addition, the design was to be something that could be used sustainably once constructed. |
| Space Solution/Realization | A curtain wall reminiscent of a yacht's sails was installed to symbolize the location facing the sea. The materials used were carefully selected with consideration of the installation environment, and a design was developed that also incorporated the Spatial Production effects of light. The color of the installed curtain wall changes depending on the external and internal lighting, so it shows different expressions depending on the time of day, welcoming users in a gentle way. The triangular parts are also removable, and the structure allows for a number of different expressions to be created by changing the positioning. |
