About Awakening Tandheelkundige kliniek

Awakening is een tandheelkundige kliniek in het district Zhongli, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. Het interieur beslaat drie verdiepingen en omvat een receptie, rust- en adviesruimtes, behandelkamers, een sterilisatieruimte en een kantoorgedeelte. Metaal, steen, hout en een groot aantal binnenplanten vormen de belangrijkste materialen. Brede marmeren vlakken en ruwe rotsoppervlakken contrasteren met warm hout, wat herinnert aan de trage groei van het vroege plantenleven op aarde. De routes voor patiënten en personeel zijn gescheiden om de privacy te beschermen en kruisbesmetting te verminderen. Het ontwerp vervangt de kille, witte medische ruimte door een rustgevende natuurlijke omgeving.

Production Technology
Medicine is a part of humanity. The design of a medical space should avoid the old framework and be transformed from a cold white space into one with splendid colors, from an emphasis on practical functions to a diverse cultural space, moving from a field where people can only feel sickness and pain to a positive and optimistic environment. Such a re-envisioning takes imagination and enthusiasm, but also the ability to integrate all the advanced equipment rationally and professionally.
Design Challenge
Currently, the pandemic is a global issue and infection control has become a primary design point for medical spaces. We incorporated the patients consultation flow and the medical personnels work flow into the early stage of the design. We selected the antibacterial strength of various materials to prevent the cross infection of viruses, studied equipment disinfection and the transportation path of infected waste and strictly separated the access space to comply with infection control regulations.
Research
This project attempts to use the space to express a flexible appeal. As if writing the softest haiku despite strong rational repression, it neither adheres to the formal aesthetics of architecture nor overly relies on decorative techniques. The project uses spatial vocabulary to encourage the owner accept the theme and metaphors like those in stories, thus paving a way for a future full of possibilities for medical spaces and creating a medical experience completely unlike those of the past.
Inspiration
3.4 billion years ago. This first green plant to appear on earth fell into the methane-full ocean and kept reproducing. The atmosphere slowly formed on the ground. Over the next billions of years, fungus, algae, ferns, Lycopodiopsida and Equisetum bogotense. The plants that reproduced through spores were as tall as modern trees. Soon, forests of seed plants occupied and dominated the entire earth, providing the necessary growing conditions and protection for the planet. All from that first Cyanobacteria.
Project Duration
Design: 2017.10 Construction: 2017.11-2018.10 in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan
Operation Flow
The clinic design must respect the patients medical care procedures and the medical personnels work flow. Regarding patients medical treatment, any overlapping flow with others has to be minimized to respect privacy and reduce cross infection. From entering the clinic to check in, waiting, consultation, seeing a doctor, relief after treatment and medical personnels advice to leaving the clinic, patients will complete all steps of the medical procedure in the most comfortable, independent, and relaxed state.
