Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a vital symbol of Chinese culture, renowned for its efficiency, affordability, and holistic philosophy that emphasizes harmony between humanity and nature. It boasts a long and continuous history of clinical practice in China and among overseas Chinese communities. As the world's largest single-build TCM hospital complex, the Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Guangming Campus) aims to establish an efficient TCM service and research center for this emerging megacity, thereby mitigating rising healthcare costs.
The hospital adopts a flexible and advanced Centers of Excellence model, providing up to 10,000 outpatient and emergency services daily while accommodating 2,000 inpatient beds. It will become a vital base for TCM research and clinical education in China, fully realizing the potential and value of TCM in contemporary society.
The design innovatively transforms this mega-hospital into an accessible wellness community inspired by classical Chinese gardens, reinterpreting the Chinese ideal of human habitation and modern healing concepts. The design creates a cross-shaped street-like public space at the center, efficiently connecting the surrounding community to the city and providing clear patient circulation for both outpatients and inpatients. Departing from the enclosed, symmetrical logic of Chinese traditional courtyards, the design offset the courtyard arrangement along Cartesian axes. Through typological approaches such as side openings and elevated structures, the buildings and gardens form an interwoven relationship in which each permeates the other. The floating courtyard entrance perfectly showcases the traditional language of dougong, while copper walls engraved with classical TCM texts create a rich cultural and artistic atmosphere under the interplay of light and shadow. Curved rooflines evoke the abstract elegance and poetic imagery of Chinese landscape painting.
This new TCM hospital complex perfectly integrates TCM culture with spatial narrative, leading patients and medical staff on an unprecedented immersive journey of physical and mental healing.
