INTERNATIONAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MANAGEMENT PRACTICE - CLINIC & LABORATORY phase 1This facility houses a clinic and research laboratory specializing in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Doctors and researchers are collaborating daily to find a cure for this disease. The floor area is 29,000 sf in a midtown building.
The first objective for the design was to organically and simply integrate the clinic and the research laboratory. The layout enhances communication among the staff and inspires interaction between the clinic personnel and the research scientists. The visibility of the research laboratories gives patients, doctors, nurses and researchers a fighting spirit and hope to cure this disease. The second goal was to provide the patients of the practice with a livable space, not just a clean and functional institute. The bright colors and wood finishes contribute to the comfortable atmosphere. The lighting of the round column capitals reinforces this by providing a focus and rhythm to the large interior spaces. The third objective was to introduce light into the deep interior spaces. Glass clearstories at the perimeter rooms distribute and maximize the light into the corridors and the main corridors end in spaces with windows to the exterior avoiding the maze, providing a sense of the exterior and an orientation point. |
国際多発性硬化症医療研究所
この施設は多発性硬化症の治療と病理究明のためのものである。この病気は原因や治療方法がまだ見つかっていない、死に至る難病である。医療現場と研究施設とが協力できるように、2700㎡という広いワンフロアが選ばれた。私たちの第一の提案は医療部と研究部を有機的に、かつ簡明に統合することであった。両部門が、相互に情報を交換し、刺激しあうように空間を構成した。患者も研究部の一部が垣間見られるように空間が配置された。研究の一端が感じられるようにして、闘病が勇気付けられるようにした。
