Structural interpretation of health and anatomy
How can we interpret human health and anatomy structurally? Right from the design stage, we opt for a wood-hybrid solution. This means that as few CO2 emissions as possible are caused during construction and operation.
In addition, this construction guarantees positive ecological properties, perfect thermal insulation and enables ideal building conditions. The natural building material wood ensures optimum moisture and a healthy indoor climate.
Movement, nature and ecology
For us, health is closely linked to the concepts of ecology, exercise and nature: We upgrade the access zones inside the building with greenery and motivate users to do more health-promoting exercise.Around the buildings in the outdoor area we create a “climate forest”. It should act as a natural air conditioning system and ensure well-functioning infiltration. With its trees, it offers those working on campus high-quality common areas and thus promotes well-being.
The campus wears a white robe
At the health campus, we draw on images of medicine and human anatomy and incorporate them into our architecture: the new building with its building envelope is pure white on the outside. White stands for the importance of the sterile in medicine. Inside, the wooden ribbed ceiling resembles a human skeleton and the free-guided building services cables are reminiscent of the widely ramified system of veins, veins and nerves.
