Concept of The Site Design Process

Site analytic and the urban context of this zone give information about programming Proposed Site based on the primary needs of this area. Those programming that acts as external forces shaped the concept, the main programming and the circulation of the Site. Programs such as the streets and pathwalks on both sides of Site, mobility , lack of facilities for patients and also lack of green spaces to boost mental health of them, create two Main Entrances on the both sides of Site, add the Therapeutic Park in the middle of the Site and two Masses on the both sides of it. Three Main lines are Mobility ( pathway ), Mass ( providing services to patients ) , and Trees ( as a park ) with Mounds ( make the site unique) are the main concept of the Site.

Site Strategy

1. The presence of an empty field next to the oncology hospital highlights the need for a wellnes center and a therapeutic park for the patients.

2. Lowering the site level will create distance from noises and pollution.

3. There are two streets running on both sides of the site. In the middle, a parklike path has been created, and there are two entrances. Additionally,two buildings have been constructed on each side of the park.

4. Due to the prevailing wind blowing from the southwest, one building has been made taller while the other is shorter. This design allows sunlight to reach the park area.

5. One of the buildings has been divided into six parts, creating a communication space between them. The other building has been divided into three unequal parts, and two agricultural spaces have been created on its roof.

6. In each of the masses related to one of the buildings , there are two levels with three types of accommodation suites. The heights of the suites are intentionally unequal to provide more privacy for the occupants.

7. Terraces have been added to the accommodation suites, providing residents with outdoor spaces. Additionally, green spaces have been created on the roof of the other building, allowing the occupants of the to enjoy pleasant views.

7. The roofs have been changed to pitched roofs to create a sense of belonging in the patients’ minds. Moreover, two bridges have been constructed to connect the two buildings.

Wood as a Restorative Material in This Center:

Wood is a unique material for biophilic design because it is both natural and functional as a building material. Design professionals already understand the importance of creating healthier spaces, including factors like proper ventilation, natural lighting, noise control, and using suitable materials and furniture.

The psychology of our surroundings can greatly impact our behavior and mental well-being. Specifically, studies have shown that incorporating wood into environments can improve the physical and mental health of individuals dealing with cancer, leading to lower levels of stress.
