  • CUHK School of Medicine | WTA Design Studio

    All Sports Education | Healthcare Hospitality Civic | Culture Office | Commercial | Retail Residential Exhibition | Research Transport | Infrastructure CUHK Med School_Exterior - Perspective 2.png CUHK Med School_Exterior - Perspective `.png CUHK School of Medicine Project Information Status Design Location Shenzhen, China Area 540,000 sqm Description The proposal focuses on cultivating a positive learning space for all users of the new campus School of Medicine in CUHK Shenzhen. This is achieved by assessing the typical behavior of University students: time not in the laboratories or classrooms are largely spent in study areas or libraries. The aim therefore is to reappropriate the library typology by creating a series of interconnected areas which in itself becomes the library. Instead of treating this as a single building, the library sprawls across the campus, also connecting the various departmental buildings via a sheltered roof form. Researching traditional Chinese Medicine, the meridian lines are a non physical system believed to be the channels by which Qi, or energy flows. In relation to the proposal, the flow of knowledge and learning is considered to be the life force of the university. By creating spaces conducive to learning and surrounded by nature, the result is a harmonious setting for social architecture; encouraging students of different departments to inhabit a common social ground. Study spaces of different sizes are distributed along the ‘social meridians’ catering to the type of activity: group project clusters or independent study. The scheme also takes from the traditional Lingnan garden whereby the nodes along the meridian are courtyard-like areas which also function as canteens or activity zones, and the channel connecting all the meridians together is the library. The roof form for the social meridians is taken from the dougong bracket. This ancient Chinese method uses numerous interlocking beams which transfer the load down to vertical members. The proposed structure is undulating and biophilic in nature. For meridians which require shelter, the brackets are then clad in traditional Chinese tile. The appeal of using these materials and techniques is in reflecting the craftsmanship and Chinese identity in the project. 2022 Eurocampus Surinam II Camarines Sur TESDA Training and Innovation Center De La Salle University - Laguna Calbayog District Hospital Primary Care Center Eastern Visayas Medical Center Emergency Quarantine Facilities Batangas Medical Center Sirius Stimulus Circuit Manila Medical Center Eurocampus Manila De La Salle University Phase 2 QHI Hospital Adamson Annex Building Makati Life Hospital

Due to its low lying coastal geography and mountainous landscape, the city of Catbalogan is at risk from natural hazards such as landslides, floods, and storms. Additionally, the steadily increasing population has put a strain on resources, property, and the infrastructure. Sky City aims to tackle these issues as it will be built 120 meters above sea level, creating opportunities for development while being naturally sheltered by the mountain ranges. It will be designed to include residential, commercial, and governmental cores that will be powered from renewable sources, and will be planned together with pedestrian and cyclist friendly spaces to reduce transport emissions. SKY CITY HALL The Sky City Hall will be the new city hall in Catbalogan. The project will take up 2 hectares of the 440-hectare Sky City development. It will serve as an expansion from the current city hall with a goal to masterplan and pioneer mountaintop sustainable living as a model for future developments. Locating the main City Hall at a higher terrain will also minimize the risk of floods and encourage the complete expansion of the new city. PROJECT DRIVERS The concept for the Sky City Hall is driven by four objectives. It aims to encourage public participation and transparency by designing spaces that result in heightened interconnectivity between the government and society. It celebrates socio-cultural identity by incorporating cultural symbolism in architectural elements and by encouraging social interactions through public spaces. The city hall seeks to enhance community connections, fostering a sense of belonging by including locals of all skill backgrounds in the creation and development of the new city hall. Lastly, it reflects and responds to local biodiversity by working with the existing terrain and using native species to further mitigate environmental degradation. COMMUNAL CORE Having direct access to communal spaces for everyone to use reflects the government’s priorities in increasing civic trust and public participation. The central spine achieves this by connecting public and private areas on a clear route, thus creating a sense of interconnectivity between government staff and visitors. 2022 Tagaytay City Hall Varna Library Museo Pambata Reading Corners Saint Scholastica Chapel Church of the Multitude Ferdinand E.
