Green Healing Health Clinic

Project idea

Going to a clinic can be an extremely anxiety-inducing experience, especially for those dealing with health issues or scares. The environment can play a crucial role in either exacerbating or alleviating these feelings of anxiety and stress. In this design, the soft curves are meant to be inviting and increase social interactions, creating a more welcoming and supportive environment for patients and visitors.

There's a courtyard that serves as a communal space that encourages socialization and engagement. Research shows that community support can have a positive impact on patient outcomes, promoting faster recovery times and reducing the risk of complications. By providing patients with a gathering space and opportunities to interact with others, the clinic’s design aims to promote a sense of community and support that can aid in the healing process. Group therapy sessions or activities such as art classes or meditation workshops can be held in the courtyard, allowing patients to participate in a range of activities that promote socialization and engagement.

In addition, the integration of greenery both inside and outside of the building can have a positive effect on mood and aid in the healing process. Studies have shown that exposure to nature and natural elements can improve mood, reduce stress levels, and promote a sense of well-being. By incorporating greenery into the design, the clinic aims to create a more calming and peaceful environment that can help patients feel more comfortable and at ease.

The design of the clinic aims to create a space that not only provides medical services, but also promotes healing and well-being through the integration of nature, architecture, and community support.

Project description

Located in Tehran, this clinic aims to provide medical services to a large population while utilizing architecture as a potential healing factor. The design incorporates nature and natural elements to create a calming and peaceful environment that can help patients recover more quickly.

large windows throughout the building provide ample natural light, which has been shown to improve mood and promote healing. The clinic’s outdoor spaces are also designed to be calming, with greenery that creates a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Additionally, the building’s layout creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that can help patients feel more comfortable and at ease.

In addition, the design includes a courtyard that is meant to be a gathering space for patients, families, and staff. The courtyard provides an opportunity for patients to interact with others and participate in activities that can help improve their emotional well-being. Community support has been shown to have a positive impact on patient outcomes, promoting faster recovery times and reducing the risk of complications. By providing patients with a gathering space and opportunities to interact with others, the clinic’s design aims to promote a sense of community and support that can aid in the healing process.

Technical information

This clinic utilizes precast concrete shell construction. A precast concrete shell is a type of construction that uses a curved shape to provide support and distribute loads evenly across the structure. The precast concrete shell is self-supporting and does not require the use of columns or other traditional structural elements.

The use of precast concrete shell construction in this project offers a range of benefits, including speed of installation, durability, strength, and design flexibility. This makes precast concrete shell construction an excellent choice for construction projects that require a high level of structural integrity and design flexibility.
