The proposal focusses on analysing the surrounding topography of the site, making it convenient with regard to the logistic as well. To highly investigate the theories about the healthcare design in the first step, meanwhile to reconsider its historical and cultural value,aesthetic value,ecological value and economic value for the new healthcare building in a sustainable way. It aims at looking for a new design approach in order to make the building repect to the nature and finding a promising strategy for the challenge of the complexity. HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 5 Finspång Norrköping Linköping Karlstad Stockholm Visby Örebro Uppsala JönköpingBorås Old site (Demolished) New site Finspång is an old industrial town and it belongs to Östergötland County, Sweden. Finspång is to the northeast of Linköping. And it is about 50 KM distance from Linköping to Finspång. Based on the statistics on the website SCB, there are 20903 inhabitants including 5023 residents whose ages are above 65 until 31/12/2013. The average life expectancy in Finspång were 83 years for women and 78.9 years for men from 2005 to 2009. Currently, it seems that the number of older people who are over 65 and who are with multiple illnesses is increasing. The needs from the local people in Finspång for good quality of medical treatments and modern facilities are rising as well. The existing hospital, which is a community healthcare center, has to be replaced with modern facilities. Many different healthcare specialty groups helped by Östergötland County Council will join in this hospital according to the plans of Finspång’s municipality. Under the expectations of the local residents, the new healthcare center in the future should be more accessible to the people. And the total area of the building is expected to be approximately 16 000 square meter. _ LOCATION HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 6 _ EXISTING SURROUNDING 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 • The buildings around the site with different ages and styles • The facade of the building is mixed without same pattern • The typology is complicated HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 7 Lidl Culture center Church Store Store+Office Office N 10 20 30 40 0 Name: User: Height: LIDL supermarket Residents 15 m Church Residents 15 m Center store Tourists 16 m Culture center Residents 25 m Healthcare center Patients 30 m maximum Store + Office Office worker 30 m _Scale comparison N Highway to the Norrköping Connect to the other residential area City center N P P P The site is near the city center. It is more accessible for residents to come. The road Bergslagsvägen which is on the northern part of site is the main road in the city. It is spread with lots of commercial stores and working office along the road. The location of big residential area is to the southwest of the site. The road Bergslagsvägen is connected to the highway which is going to the Norrköping. And the branch of this road is going though the area between the church and culture center. It is also possible for people from another residential area to come to the site via the green color road. Plenty of forests on the southeastern side provide nice view for the future building. Three building inside the site now will be demolished in the future as the the plan. And three large areas which are showing in the picture with grey color might be utilised to be parking space in future. The estimated height limatation regarding the regulation around the site is 30 m. _ EXISTING SURROUNDING ANALYSIS HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 8 Common goals in industrial city New building could be self-sufficient itself, less energy cost and passtive impact to industrial companies SUSTAINABILITY Picture from Siemens in Finspång Small size city New building should adapt to the ex- isting context, even though the total area is 16 000 square meter CITY CONTEXT With12,440 inhabitants in 2010 Street view around the site Logistics system inside and outside New building should be considered in term of the future extension COMPLEXITY Elasticity and flexibility Entrance of the old hospital building Lose the the elements of “water” Quiet area TO Lively space New building should less impact to nature NATURE Creat perfect view Bird view of the old healthcare center Height difference of 10 m Find an efficent way to make new building fit to the Level difference TOPOGRAPHY Reorganize the road around site Map of topography The inside functions of building change with time The new healthcare center building can fit to the future extention FLEXIBILITY Finspång is a small scale city. The height of buildings around the site is below 25 m. The new building can't be too large scale, and otherwise it will destroy the whole city context. It is vital to lessen the impact of the new building to the surrounding buildings. The topography near the site is complicated with a lot of cliff and slope, especially on the south side. How to deal with the topography is largely related to the site plan. On the other hand, the small hill in the middle of the site provides people a good chance to get great view. The new healthcare building is included with several programmes. It seems to be a complex building with 16000 square meter size. It is important to cope with all logistics and relations among different functions. The old site of the healthcare building is easily approaching to the rivier. The new building has to be moved to center area. Fortunately, the site is easily access to the green forest. The way of the design will be related to this merit. Due to industial city of Finspång, it generated lots of problems regarding the sustainability. The new building should be less impact to the nature, and it is better to find a great approach to fulfill the sustainable goal. In generally, the function inside hospital building will change constantly with time going. The building designed would be better for future extension. Flexibility is the main character for the healthcare building design. _ DESIGN CHALLENGES HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 9 ? 16000 square meter healthcare center N A: Inner courtyard, "step" shaped roof, well connected W: Large scale, shadow in the courtyard A: Inner courtyard, "step" shaped roof, well connected green roof W: Large scale, shadow in the courtyard A: Inner courtyard, seperated buildings, more sunshine W: Less connection between units A: seperated buildings, more sunshine W: Less connection between units, less privacy _ WORKSHOP HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 10 _ CONCEPT WINTER SUMMER N WINTER SUMMER HI! HOW ARE YOU? HELLO! NICE PICTURE! DECORATION DRAWING OPEN COURTYARD It is good way for the building more opportunities to get the sunshine and views. ADD OUTSIDE CORRIDOR More space for relax, introduce the green view into the south part of the building. VISABILITY Semi-public courtyard and "step" shaped ground floor give more opportunities of communication to people from different palces. GREEN ROOF It is important for patients inside enjoying the landscape. The water from the rain can be collected to wash. The grey water could be used to be the chemical fertilizer of the plants on the roof. COMMUNICATION SPACE Large space of the atr ium plays a great role in communication among the residents. The decoration drawings are important parts of the hospital environment. According to research, art can be a stress-relief and improves recovery. SHELTER Outside corridors can be used for shelter especial ly in the summer t ime. I t is a sustainable way for saving energy of cooling. On the other hand, planty of sunshine will go into the inner space of building. WIND PROTECTION According to the wind direction in Finspång, in the summer time, the wind can go though the building, which enhances the natural ventilation. The wind in the winter time is stopped by the shape of the building. SIMPILIFY THE VOLUME The big scale building with 25m height will be a great impact to the surrounding buildings. To change the roof into the "step" shape, indeed, reduces that situation. The green area on the roof is also providing the good view for the other building and catering to the current city texture as well. HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 11 N N N N N N CREATE THE BASIC VOLUME Draw the lines along the existing road to create a simple volume. The green surface is parallel to green forest. CREATE COURTYARD AND SQUARE Make the inner courtyard in order to develop communication space. In the front of the main entrance is a large square for people getting together. OPEN THE COURTYARD TO THE NATURE More space in the building can get the sunshine, fresh air and green view. SIMPILIFY THE VOLUME After dividing the building into three parts, connect them with glassing vertical units. Change the roof into slope, lessen the impact to the other buildings. CONNECT IN 1st FLOOR AND MAKE OUTSIDE CORRIDOR To connect the ground floor is in order to create indoor communication space. Outside corridor is great for people going outside to have fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. MAKE THE GREEN ROOF Turning the slope roof into green area is providing the nice view for surrounding building as well. _ VOLUME STUDY HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 12 SURGERY CLINIC WARDS REHAB CENTER ACUTE POST MORTUM ENTRANCE LAB IN PATIENT SURGERY DAY SURGERY PRE-OPERATION POST-OPERATION LÄKARMOTTAGNING BVC BUM BMM SSK MOTTAGNINGAR NVA UTREDNINGSENHETCOMMON ADMINSTRATION CAFE APOTEK LIBRARY STORE GREEN ZONE GREEN ZONE K1 POST MORTUM+TECH+ GOODS DELIVERY+ DRESSING ROOM 0 PUBLIC AREA+LAB BVC, BUM, BMM+ MATSAL PE 1 LÄKARMOTTAGNING 2 ACUTE+OPERATION+ SSK MOTTAGNINGAR 3 REHAB+TECH 4 WARDS OPERATION ACUTE OPERATION CLINIC CLINIC CLINIC CLINIC CLINIC WARDS WARDS CLINIC CLINIC REHAB REHAB TECH POST MORTUM GOODS DELIVERY CAFE LIBARARY STORE APOTEK CLINIC CLINICLAB CONFERENCE DRESSINGTECH WARDS REHAB AMBULANCE Due to the height difference on the southeastern part of site, the staff entrance is set up in that area. On the floor -1, there are two distinct dressing rooms for the staff. On the eastern wing of the floor -1 is post-mortem and the entrance of the acute area. The embulance is easily parking inside the southwest of the building, which reach to the floor 2 acute center and operation floor as soon as possible. Goods storage and delivery center are arranged in the floor -1 as well, and it seems convenient for logistics of the goods. On the northern side of the ground floor is commercial extension along the facade including cafe, library and pharmacy. The atrium is in the middle of the ground floor, which provides the residents big communication space. Two big conference rooms and 100 persons dininig are on the west of the atrium. Meanwhile, the atrium would be a buffer area for gathering people. The lab and children and antenatal care clinic(BVC, BUM, BMM)are arranged on the east of ground floor. The clinic(LÄKARMOTTAGNING) in the floor 1 is separated into three parts, which are connected by the two common inner waiting areas. Vertical connections are set up in the glassing part. Floor 2 is acute center, operation including day surgery and in-patient surgery and clinic (SSK MOTTAGNINGAR). Floor 3 is rehab center with gyms, kitchen and exam room including. The gym is connceted to the outside wooden corridor. Wards (run by NVA and UTREDNINGSENHET) are on the top floor in the healthcare building,which is easily access to green roof. _ PROGRAM AND LAYOUT HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 13 RELEVANT IDEAS AND CONCLUSIONS ABOUT HEALTHCARE CENTER DESIGN GREAT HEALING ENVIRONMENT Good healing envirment depends on satisfactory communication between the patient and the health doctor. Therefore, it is important that the hospital’s design makes provision for satisfactory interaction in many parts of the hospital. It is a good start from a patient’s perspective. Physical surroundings play a great role inside the hospital design. In other words, nice healing environment successfully create surroundings which have the potential to function satisfactorily for many years to come. And different interior decorations play different roles towards sickness, for example, a tranquil interior contributes to a relaxed body and mind, which is a good basis for sound health. SPACE FOR CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION A useful starting point for the design of hospital interiors is the awareness of the human being’s ability and need to create a range of spatial boundaries around one’s own body, person or group. These different boundaries and spatial levels are necessary for the individual to be in contact with theirown self, and therefore to be able to communicate in the most effective possible way with others. In the healthcare building, many units with regard with large inner communication area will be set up and the private space as well. Interior of waiting space is vital to be decorated into special healing feeling. Near the entrance space, a spacious foyer or atrium with an open reception creates a generous, accessible and friendly atmosphere with associations to a hotel or a similar service institution.Further up in the building, the environment is characterised by separation and quietness. Meanwhile, individual space is mainly a psychological space. Boundaries and control over one’s individual space are crucial to the human being’s ability to relax and feel safe. ROOF LANDSCAPE It is suggested that the roof of the hospital gives attractive vegetation. Roof terraces with vegetation give outdoor space and views for the personnel, and also form an attractive eye-catcher from floor levels above.The ambition is that the environment shall contribute to patients and relatives feeling as relaxed as possible during their time in the hospital. The nice green view also provide the staff the opportunities to get fresh and gain more energy to repay attention to their working. _ HEALTHCARE CENTER DESIGN THEORY HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 14 The picture is showing that 35000 square meter social hub in the Oslo harbor. The Bispevika mixed-use development proposal by PUSHAK wants to maximize the views of the harbor and integrates passive design methods to minimize energy use. The buildings wrap around a wooden terraced courtyards, providing play spaces and introducing the island- like nature into the site. Passive solar heating minimizes heat loss. Nearly all units have a private balcony or terrace. Semi-public pavilions further buffer the boundary of public and private while creating pleasant outdoor spaces. Common rooftop terraces provide all residences access to the ultimate views. 1 On the southeastern side of the my site is a greet view as well. The proposal of this architecture company provide a way to enhance the views of green forest. It is a useful way to make this kind of semi-public wooden terraced couryards. That solution provides common spaces and introducing the nature into the healthcare building. Moreover, the healthcare building becomes sculpture itself, which provide a great view to the surrounding building. 1　 PUSHAK, Competition Entry for Bispevika Development in Norway (http://www.archdaily.com/186555/competition-entry-for-bispevika- development-in-norway-puskak/) _ CASE STUDY HEALTHCARE CENTER IN FINSPÅNG LEI QIAN 2014 SPRING MASTER THESIS CHALMERS 15 _ GRIDS AND FLOWS K1 POST MOTUM+TECH+ GOODS DELIVERY+ DRESSING ROOM 0 PUBLIC AREA+LAB BVC, BUM, BMM+ MATSAL PE 1 CLINIC LÄKARMOTTAGNING 2 ACUTE+OPERATION+ SSK MOTTAGNINGAR 3 REHAB+TECH 4 WARDS ENTRANCE OF EMBULANCE ENTRANCE OF GOODS DELIVERY STAFF ENTRANCE ACUTE PRE-OPERATION POST-OPERATION OPERATION TECH TECH OPERATION PATIENTS ACUTE STAFF GOODS DELIVERY N5 5 9 7 clinic clinic clinic operation theatre operation theatre ward ward ward ward wc wc frd frd Grids about 8.4m × 8.4m is flexible to arrange the clinic with double corridor system and is easy for the future reconstraction as well.

And they are cheap, easy to install. Moreover, they can be sustainable merits for recyling. Glass The frequently-used material is used for windows and middle parts of handrail. The combination between glass and wood provide the building a qu ie t and harmon ious atmosphere. Wood The use of this material give the bui ld inga an uni form sculptural expression. Wood is popular using among nordic countries, which convey the culture identity to the residential people. Wood 2 Another pattern of wood has been used for the outside material of shifting windows. Those different colors of woods make the facade become changeable and indented facade.It is possible to adapt the structure with open and closed parts depending on the functions behind it. CONCEPT 4800 4800 4800 700 8400 8400 The distance between two different pillar is 8.4m, which could be divided into 12 parts. The 700m width windows could be used to the end of the corridors permanently getting some sunlights. And other types of windows create the indented facade and dynamic scenario. The shifting windows Another material of wood provides the protection for the windows. In the winter time without sunshine, it is good to close the second layer of wooden plank saving the energy lose of the building. Meanwhile, it generate different pattern of the facade.

It is good for cooling about the inside temperature of the building. this nature function from the wind decrease the costing of energy. 2 The outside corridors can be shelter in summer time, which protect the direct sunshine outside. And in the winter time, due to lower the solar height angle, sunshine can go though into rooms. 3 Inner garden in the ground floor adjusts the micro-climate inside, meanwhile it provides the great view as well. 4 Collect the water from rain, and pump the water to every floor for special use after the process of water quality purification. 5 Grey water treatment. The grey water can be collected in the containers, after the water quality purification, this kind of water can be used for fertilizer of green roof.

The facade of wood can be block the extreme wind from northeast, like the function of wind protection, which decrease the loss of the energy and saving the costing of the heating. Due to the theory about the wind and topology, the wind will be accelerated in the top area. The wind in the summer time provide the nature cooling wind to the building. if opening all windows, the building will be cooled down without mechanicial ventilation. This inner garden is a cylindrical shape, which starts from the ground floor to the roof garden on the floor 1. The surface inner garden is made by glass, and it is better fot sunshine going though especially in the public area of the ground floor. Moreove, the tree inside the cylinder optimizes the micro-climate inside the building, providing nice view and beautiful sculptural element.

The proposal must adapt to local culture and context. According to the design theory of the healthcare building, I learned many advanced knowledge, which provide better atmosphere for the healthcare building especially regarding the medical treatment. It exits some weakness about the project remaining. But, in general, the house offers a wide range of different rooms for exam rooms, therapy, operation rooms and interaction with a focus on the patients’ comfort and wellbeing. The architectural design in terms of daylight quality, the room’s mood, color, sound and the ability to be private and secure to support the healing that takes place both physically and psychologically. Meanwhile, the architectural idea also aims to enhance the characteristics of the existing landscape especially the existing terrain in the middle and to create synergy between the different functions of the healthcare building. Fundamentally, the architecture is clear and meets the request of a hospital which offers a humane and spatial experience. _ LOCATION _ EXISTING SURROUNDING _ EXISTING SURROUNDING ANALYSIS _ DESIGN CHALLENGES _ WORKSHOP _ CONCEPT _ VOLUME STUDY _ PROGRAM AND LAYOUT _ HEALTHCARE CENTER DESIGN THEORY _ CASE STUDY _ GRIDS AND FLOWS _ SITE PLAN _ BASEMENT POST MOTUM+TECH+GOODS DELIVERY+DRESSING ROOM _ GROUND FLOOR PUBLIC AREA+LAB+BVC, BUM, BMM+MATSAL PE _ FLOOR 1 CLINIC LÄKARMOTTAGNING _ FLOOR 2 ACUTE+OPERATION+SSK MOTTAGNINGAR _ FLOOR 3 REHAB+TECH _ FLOOR 4 WARDS _SECTIONS _ FACADE CONCEPT _ FACADE _ SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES _ RENDERING _ CONCLUSION _ CLOSURE
