Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad

Recreating a Contemporary Ceremonial Center around a cenote; a triangular liquid courtyard delimited by three bodies that, according to their function and relationship to each other, order and organize the life of a hospital built in a forest of native vegetation, in which its vertices symbolize care, knowledge, and death.

The stimulus provided by the environments in which those who will inhabit the hospital spaces will live was a fundamental consideration in its design. Contributing to the restoration of patients' health through their contact with nature was one of our main objectives. Promoting and strengthening their relationship with life, generating hope and attachment to it through spaces that contribute to health and better management and acceptance of pain.
