About Cha-Mi Clinica Medicala Chinesa

Situada a Taipei, aqueste projècte de clinica respcta las normas d'un equipament ospitalièr complèt, en evitant los corridors tròp longs entre las salas de consultacion, çò que es pas amigable per las persònas ancianas e causa d'angles mòrts. La planificacion generala crèa una centralizacion per la descentralizacion de la disposicion regulara, en dispersant los itineraris de las salas de terapia e en formant un plan circular centralizat. De sistèmas d'automacion intelligenta son integrats a l'enregistrament, al dispensari e al pagament de las prescripcions, çò que melhorà pas solament lo procès de consultacion, mas tanben se conforma a las tendéncias de vida tecnologica que venon dins l'avenir pròche.

Production Technology: Concentric form is naturally innate existence like a seed, whose round and effortless contour avert indifference stereotypes of a clinic and sooth mental pressure for patients. Away from redundant colors, clean white backdrops and woodworks in oak took minimal usage of material, resonating calm ambiance. Light freely transmits through three elevations of heights, which better illumination condition and create enticing visuality.
Design Challenge: Moreover, in order to provide better medical service, intelligent automation systems are installed and integrated at registration, dispensary, and description payment, which not only shorten the consulting process, but also comply with tech-life trends coming in the near future.
Research: Another mention that, people barely notice the actual presence of herb therapy, which derives from withered grass. While seasonal herbal grasses flourish in 6 test tubes around registration, the uncertainty of life and death is awakened, echoing to daily errands of the clinic, resonating like an endless loop.
Inspiration: Based on Chinese character denotation, Cha refers to tea and Mi means rice. Probing to derivative connotation, tea is made from herb and rice is essential to meal. Our client started this clinic, expecting to help patients get recovered with effective and harmless herbal therapy.
Project Duration: Started from November 2019 and finished in June 2020. Taipei city.
Operation Flow: Every well-rounded hospital concerns a safety issue of avoiding excessively long passage between consulting rooms, which easily causes blind spots and is unfriendly to the elders. How to configure appropriate passages for patients thus becomes the first concern of this project. Inspired by the contour of satellite, disperses routes of therapy rooms and re-merges with registration and dispensary sections forms a centralized-circle layout; in other words, the master-planning forges centralization by decentralization of regular compartmental layout.
