The Design
About Almana 病院
建物の緩やかな曲線は、空間、空気、光の自然な流れを生み出しています。この設計は、照明、自然採光、空調（HVAC）、水処理システムに関する先進的な手法を組み合わせ、現行の医療基準を満たすかそれを上回る性能を発揮しながら、エネルギー消費を大幅に削減しています。同種の施設と比較して少なくとも50パーセントのエネルギー削減を目標としています。うねるようなランドスケープの形状と建物のエンベロープは、内外において自然との優れた癒しのつながりをもたらし、患者、スタッフ、来訪者の視点からのみならず、サステナビリティの観点からも大きな価値を生み出しています。

Patient centric healing environment
large open space concourses, natural light and space lifts the mood, flexibility for peak capacity. - Inspiration
- The gentle curves of the building allowing for the natural flow of space, air and light. The design combines advanced practices for lighting, day-lighting, and water treatment systems that use significantly less energy while performing at or above current health standards, with a target of at least 50 percent energy reduction compared to similar facilities.
The undulating landscape form and building envelope provide a great healing connection to nature, inside and out, not only from patient, staff and visitor aspects, but from a sustainability aspect. The design creates a clear separation of zones of activities, with departments and functions located based on access point proximity, flow and way-finding. All patient rooms and staff spaces provide access to outside views and landscaped terraces.
The design melded spaces and forms into continuous, dynamic constructions. Moreover, it furthered the approach by weaving curved walkways and vertical elevators together so that the architecture itself guides visitors through the related departments - Project Duration
