2. Introduction
This hospital design demonstrates how the
quality of architectural spaces with natural
light, ventilation, plants and human interaction
could become catalysts in the healing process
without compromising on the functionality and
economy. This design resulted in a compact
rectilinear urban built form with all major
functions organized around a bright, triple
height, landscaped atrium space. From outside
too, the building steps back, thereby creating
landscaped terraces in front. It also called for
the efficient planning of the varied functions
with their multifarious service requirements.
3. NATURAL LIGHT AND
VENTILATION
WHAT IS VENTILATION ?
Ventilation is the intentional introduction of
outdoor air into a space and is mainly used to
control indoor air quality by diluting and
displacing indoor pollutants; it can also be
used for purposes of thermal comfort
WHAT IS NATURAL LIGHTING ?
Natural lighting, also known as
daylighting, is a technique that
efficiently brings natural light into your
structure using exterior glazing
(windows, skylights, etc.), thereby
reducing artificial lighting requirements
and saving energy.
5. Through the inlet air blows inside the building near to the
inlet there is a water body and landscape area consisting
of shrubs through which the air blows and cold breeze are
obtained. This cool breeze then passes out through the
outlet.
The hot air which is formed raises upwards and blows out
through the upper outlet
also the skylights are provided for natural daylighting
through the the corrugated transparent sheets and the
diffused lights spreads throughout the courtyard and
main artrium.
12. NATURAL DAYLIGHTING
THROUGH DOMED SHAPED
SKYLIGHTS
Domed shaped skylights were used for daylighting at
the basement for parking as well as for the
administration block which was at basement.
This skylights are hidden in landscpe area and are
part of landscape.
Through this skylights diffused lights from another
skylight from the main artrium and the courtyard
skylights and it passes through the domed skylight
and spreads of its circumference.
13. Above terrace there are water cooler located so as to cool the water and circulate this cold water
through the pipes throughout the building to reduce heat gained .
Indoor landscape areas are provided to reduce heat and purify the air also terrace landscapes .
No long passsages are there and every intervals there is a terrace or an open space and openings
to have movement of air .
