the guidelines for the architectural and functional design of the building. We created two large
juxtaposed zones in dialogue with each other. First we have the clinical and
service areas, organised around a central patio upon which the whole building
rests. Secondly, we have the outpatient and hospital areas, which occupy the
arms which emerge from it and which open towards the city as well as the
imposing views of the Sierra Nevada.It is a model hospital and will
constitute the key element in the activities of the new Campus de la Salud de Granada. We have tried to
optimise circulation, grouping all the units of each expertise on the same
level, distributing the functional area following the healthcare process, from
the outpatient consultation to the clinical block, passing through examination
and hospitalisation.The
central basement of the building has two large circulation axes which separate
and organise the processes which take place in the hospital. Above it are located the healthcare units which have different
geometries depending on the activity in question. The careful design of the
facade, thanks to the combination of yellow stone and curtain wall, brings
unity to a functional and volumetrically complex building.
