DESIGNPORTFOLIO

OAK HOSPITAL

In August 2005, hurricane Katrina destroyed and fl ooded most of New Orleans. Due to the hurricanes, many people were traumatized requiring a place to recover. In addition to trauma, healthcare facilities should focus on rising healthcare conditions such as heart conditions, diabetes, cancer and asthma. Overall, designing a well-rounded healthcare facility should embrace the context, allowing the spaces to heal occupants physiologically by incorporating nature and the landscape .

OAK HOSPITAL LOBBY

The next step to this puzzle is to observe how biological evolutions have transformed in New Orleans. These studies will allow for discoveries on how specifi c natural features can generate architectural structures. By researching biomimetic elements throughout New Orleans (specifi cally the Seven Sister Oak Tree) I will hopefully discover elements that assist my design.

OAK HOSPITAL SECTIONS

As we continue to separate from nature, we are potentially decreasing the ability to nurture from it. Throughout my design, a subconscious healing environment will be created through the fusion of biophilia and the built form. Spaces will be formed by natural materials followed by passive systems; forming an ecological building. A key element to my design will be the integration of air, light, water, and plants within every room, if possible.

The design is based off of the transit systems, views to the harbor, and San Andrea’s fault line.

Metaphor : San Andrea’s fault line.

The tower is shifted in half similar to tectonic plates. The gap created by the shift on the Southwest structure creates a wind tunnel allowing the tower to ventilate itself due to the Bernoulli Effect.

Stratum Museum displays fossils and dinosaurs. The main design is a ramp as the person explores farther down, they learn more similar to digging fossils.
