Aarhus, Denmark: New University Hospital

[LindbergMTL]

The largest hospital project in Danish history has been won by a consultancy team led by C. F. Møller Architects and including London practice Avanti Architects.

 

 

The hospital complex will comprise 400,000 m2, with the new addition providing 250,000 m2. The hospital is intended to function as a teaching hospital, a regional centre of excellence and a basic hospital for local residents.

 

 

The hospital design incorporates a large degree of flexibility to accommodate future requirements regarding new technology, forms of treatment and working practices, and it will also introduce a considerable qualitative improvement in both the experiences of patients and the working conditions for the staff.

 

 

Avanti Architects and C. F. Møller Architects have developed a collaboration allowing them to bid for significant health projects in the UK and abroad. Aarhus is the first and a very important success. A total of four teams competed in the final round for the New University Hospital.

 

 

The winning consultancy team, DNU consortium, included the following architectural practices: C. F. Møller Architects, Cubo Arkitekter A/S, Avanti Architects

What an awesome project! Jeez, our architects put me to sleep, no imagination...no strike that, we have the imagination, the decision makers don't have the balls to approve projects such as these. Too risky or inappropriate.

Au canada également nous avons de beaux projets d'hôpitaux, je pense au Gordon & Leslie Diamond center en colombie-britannique (d'ailleurs un projet réalisé en PPP comme le CUSM et le CHUM). J'adooore l'atrium:
