NICOLAS UWACU ARCHITECT

Having commenced my career at a prominent architectural design studio, I swiftly recognized the importance of a holistic approach to design. While I spent three years, including an internship, honing my skills in this creative environment, I also realized that my passion extended beyond just one facet of the architectural process. This realization fueled my decision to transition to a construction company, where I could contribute to projects from their inception to their triumphant completion.

In pursuit of a more comprehensive perspective, I transitioned to a dynamic construction company.

This career move provided me with a significant learning curve as I had the privilege of participating in projects from their inception through to their successful completion. This exposure allowed me to grasp the intricate connections between design, project management, and construction execution.

Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including architects, engineers, contractors, and clients, I played a pivotal role in translating designs into tangible, functional structures.

About

With over five years of experience contributing to diverse projects on the global platform, combined with my comprehensive understanding of industry trends, equips me to contribute effectively to projects that demand a blend of artistic ingenuity and technical precision. I have cultivated a refined understanding of cost optimization strategies and the nuanced relationship between architectural design and its cultural context. I take pride in my ability to bridge the gap between design vision and construction feasibility, resulting in innovative yet realizable architectural solutions. Furthermore, my international experience in China has endowed me with a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and global architectural influences.

Phased layout according to the current status of the base

Med-Tech grows alongside the urban edge

Welcoming and organic layout

The site is narrow in the south and wide in the north, and the construction volume of Phase 2 is double that of Phase 1, so we are would like to reserve the relatively loose plot in the north for the construction of Phase II to accommodate various future possibilities.

In order to ensure the efficient connection of medical services, the medical technology function of the second phase closely follows the layout of the first phase of the medical technology platform, expanding to the north and growing linearly to form the final medical technology axis.

In order to better create the urban interface of the new hospital area, the layout of the three towering inpatient buildings and the outpatient function blocks are relatively free, and together with the medical technology platform, they become an organic whole.

Access and paths in accordance with long-term planning

Traffic organization in accordance with the long-term planning unified reserved entrances and exits as well as around the site a circle of vehicular access, and reasonable arrangements for the first and second phase of the parking plan.

Efficiency and no-negative impact for future construction

Phase 1 landscape benefits future planning

The first phase of the hospital building is functionally complete and connected, and morphologically independent and self-contained. The construction of the phase 2 will not affect the use of the phase 1, and the phase 1 will not hinder the construction of the phase 2.

Renxin Lake and the landscape garden along the shoreline were constructed first in the first phase, forming a complete landscape axis after the expansion in the second phase.

Healing Garden: Natural Therapy Inside and Outside the Hospital

The Healing Garden within medical facilities provides a natural space for patients, their families, and hospital staff, bringing the benefits of outdoor environments into the hospital. This enhances patients’ well-being in terms of physical, psychological, emotional, and social factors while maximizing their recovery.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week real-time automated delivery.

Safe Transportation Between Different Hospital Floors

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, replacing multiple shifts and ensuring the timely delivery of meals, medications, and bed linens. This system prevents item loss and waste, improving efficiency and reliability in hospital logistics.

In the hospital, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) can autonomously enter and exit service elevators or use dedicated service passages between different floors. A safety sensing system detects personnel and obstacles, ensuring secure and efficient transportation of goods without disruptions.

The transportation system is directly put into use without the need for secondary modifications.

The hospital AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) can adapt to the dimensions and shapes of all hospital objects, allowing them to be put into use directly without the need for modification or redesign. This saves installation time and reduces costs.

This project establishes a north-south landscape axis through a composition of “three enclosed courtyards + one open garden,” linking the green spaces of the new hospital campus. This axis integrates with the east-west lake-view corridor, forming a three-dimensional landscape structure for the hospital. inpatient building inpatient building

Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture

Located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin, it is the core area of the Gyarong Tibetan region. As the place where the Tusi system (a type of hereditary chieftain system) in Chinese history last declined, it carries a profound historical accumulation of the Tusi period. The Tusi residential architecture, song and dance festivals, and other ethnic folk tourism resources, combined with the colorful and magnificent plant landscapes and the beautiful plateau meadows and canyon scenery, form a unique and charming tourism culture

DESIGN CONCEPT

DESIGN STRATEGY

DUAL FUNCTION

This architectural design complex takes 'breaking ground' as its theme, drawing inspiration from the power and hope inherent in the initial sprouting of all things in nature.

The unique spires and sloping roof designs resemble newly emerged shoots breaking through the soil, yearning to grow upwards.
