Parque Hospital - Municipio de La Ceja, Antioquia

Abstract

In the municipality of La Ceja, Antioquia, emerges Parque Hospital in response to extensive research and the critical need for medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategically located in the Valle de San Nicolás, in Eastern Antioquia, this project addresses a previously existing hospital deficit in the region.

Conceived based on various concepts studied by neuroarchitecture, which establishes key aspects when configuring spaces to promote a relaxed mind. Lighting, green areas, colors, and ceilings are some of the elements studied.

The hospital focuses on harmonious integration with nature through trails, green terraces, and open spaces that foster connection with the natural environment. Special attention is also paid to adequate ventilation, careful material and color management, and strategic lighting, all while considering principles of neuroarchitecture to enhance comfort in each space. This architectural proposal is based on using nature and water as therapeutic elements, creating spaces that provide feelings of tranquility and comfort. This approach not only benefits patient recovery but also contributes to the peace of mind of the medical team and enhances the positive experience of visitors in the hospital environment.

Parque Hospital represents a place where architecture and nature come together to offeran optimal healing environment that goes beyond traditional medical function and seeks to promote the overall well-being of all who interact with it.
