PROJECT OVERVIEW
Discover what makes it unique
The patient is the reason for the hospital's existence, and, understanding space as a stimulus for behavior, we draw on the collective historical memory that recalls the walls as providing a protective shelter from pirate attacks and the interior courtyards as spaces in which to feel safe and at peace. For these reasons, the spaces are flooded with light and directly linked to trees and gardens where patients can be and explore their suffering in a holistic way that provides them with hope and strength, empowering them to take responsibility for their own treatment, bolstered by the emotional support their social environment offers.
