About this project
DCM was shortlisted in an international design competition for the Jiujiang University Hospital. The design for the 35,200m² teaching hospital incorporates a 160-bed inpatient wing, specialised departments for outpatient dental care and an ICU dedicated to cardiac and neurovascular conditions housed in a seven-storey building.
The design supports rigorous and highly functional hospital planning within a balanced and clear composition of simple curved forms, relating to a key corner intersection in the city. A clean, curved block defines the facade, floating above an active, transparent ground plane.
Integral to the facade’s identity is a pattern of strip windows punctuating the building envelope. This rhythmic fenestration is instrumental while establishing a human scale within the urban landscape.
In association with CCIHC Engineering Technology Group.
