FROM HOTEL FOR THE SICK
TO MARKET OF HEALTH.
There are limits to the power of pampering. Our proposal envisions a new archetype for the hospital expere-
ince. When looking for health coaches to manage the cases of the most intensive patients, one turns to retail
clerks and managers. They understood the default answer was “yes”. They are trained to connect needs and
resources under a different philosophy than traditional clinitions.
The “retail” hospital will take its architectural hertiage from marketplaces. Where ideas are exchanged with
goods.
Where optimism and empowerment are tools of the “trade”.

THE SPACES IN BETWEEN
The form of the project is derived not only from the programatic efficiencies of adjacent departments but
form the desire to extend the projects reach much like that of an ancient city. Through streets, plazas and gre-
enways the project literally reaches out to the community as well as connecting all areas of the hospital. The
project creates a dynamic central”square” in which sits the community, meeting and education spaces forthe
hospital. wrapping around this greencrescent courtyard are the public circulation “streets” for the project off
of which all major public program elements can be accessed.
Our memory of great places is largely defined not by the architecture but by these spcaes in between the
architecture- the places people occupy, the spaces filed with dappledlight and human interaction. These
walls of our project not only define the limits within the building but seek to extend the invitiation the build-
ing sends to the community to make it a living part of the place it is is built in .

REGION: Connecting many community organizations with focus on promoting
health and well-being of the area, the small hospital becomes a central node in the
larger community health network.
COMMUNITY: Bridging barriers withing the neighborhood site, promoting healthy
food options, outdoor recreation, physical activities and cultural events. The small
hospital becomes a hub of healthy lifestyle activities.
DEPARTMENTS: Departments flow together, remove barriers between emergency
and out-patient care. Communication is improved, staff is more fully utilized and
flexibility of roles is enhanced.
