Thesis - Children's Hospital

Project of a General Children's Hospital for the city of San Cristobal, Tachira - Venezuela. For the purposes of this project the health institute of my city, allocated an area of land for the location of the hospital and with this it was necessary to study the relevant rules, variables both urban and environmental, as well as the zoning ordinance for the sector.

As a generating concept of the project, it was proposed two curve buildings; creating between them a central space of connection and recreational activities but in a way that no direct solar exposure took part, and in the sense to avoid sunlight on the more extensive facades. A connecting element was disposed for the capture of the access.

There are also parking levels but due to the slope of the land; they were disposed semi-underground generating three and a half levels of parking.

For the final proposal of the building, different open spaces were generated in the squares of the ground floor next to the access of the buildings, creating green spaces with different designs producing a friendly and warm environment.
