| DESIGN NAME: Deformable Module PRIMARY FUNCTION: Epidemic Prevention Hospital INSPIRATION: COVID-19 and other unpredictable outbreaks of highly infectious viruses threaten the survival and normal social life of mankind. Since the scale, time, and place of such outbreaks cannot be predicted, a temporary medical building that can be used for a long time is of great necessity. Such buildings should possess the following characteristics: easy for storage and transportation, suitable for the treatment of infectious diseases, applicable for multiple sites, and environmental-friend UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project takes isolation negative pressure ward as the core module which compresses various architectural components into a module based on the prototype of a 20-foot international standard container,and combines with other auxiliary modules. Based on the module generality design,temporary COVID-19 epidemic prevention hospitals of different sizes with long service time can be constructed through the rapid combination of modules. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The hospital is suitable for most relatively flat and solid sites. Two workers could complete the assembly of a module (including equipment and facilities) in 3 hours. Since the installation of each building component is carried out in strict sequence, even less skilled workers can carry out construction with simple training. In addition, although the lifting of the module requires the use of a light crane, the module can be unfurled and dismantled with common tools and simple scaffolds. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2020 in Xuzhou. The project was finally completed in No.180 Mincheng Road, Xinzhuang, Minhang District, Shanghai, China,and has not been completed yet. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The project compresses various architectural components into a module based on the prototype of a 20-foot international standard container through a series of design methods such as integration, separation, movement, opening and closing, expansion, lift, and rotation. A large number of reflective materials are employed on the facade of the building to reduce the possible visual and psychological impact of the medical building on people through its mapping to the surrounding environment. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The standard scheme of Deformable modularized COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention Hospital has a total construction area of 750.5 square meters, which is consisted of eight modules and three units. The single module compresses various architectural components into a module based on the prototype of a 20-foot international standard container (6.06*2.44*2.59m, with an area of 14.79 square meters). And that could cover an area of 76.15 square meters, after being expanded. TAGS: Deformable, Modularized, COVID-19 prevention, Isolation ward, Hospital RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Human history is always accompanied by various viruses. Since the scale, time, and location of such outbreaks cannot be predicted, a temporary medical building that can be used for a long time is of great necessity. The project also offers two options for the post-pandemic disposal of the building: one is to take it down and store it for future; and the another is to give that new functions, such as hotels, bars and cafes. CHALLENGE: To design a sustainable epidemic prevention hospital building that can be acceptable, two contradictions were considered: the relationship between the sudden change of the real world and the immutability of architecture, and the relationship between the universality of architecture and humanistic care.
