courtyards act as living lungs, filtering pollutants
and sequestering carbon. A solar-powered
microgrid with battery storage produces
more energy than is needed; excess energy
is stored or shared with the grid, ensuring
the hospital can withstand climate disasters
while producing a steady revenue stream.
THE DETAILS
Designed to emulate the delicate coffee flower,
the building features a centralized atrium with a
lobby to serve as the center of all the systems and
the campus. The structure's leaves and petals
house important functions, such as patient care,
infrastructure, and greenspace. For example,
patient towers bloom out from the atrium providing
patients with views across the campus. A
terraced garden growing along the sloping landscape
provides greenery. The modular petal configuration
of the prototype is highly adaptive to
different site configurations and climates.
Embodying the core tenet of healthcare,
" First, Do No Harm, " Decaf Hospital is dedicated
to the well-being and health of communities
impacted by climate change. The concept mitigates
climate exposure for vulnerable populations
by eliminating greenhouse gas emissions,
ensuring food security, and providing reliable
energy for the campus and community. The
model's carbon sequestration and autonomous
transit systems also improve healthcare access
and address environmental inequities for populations
least able to adapt to climate changes.
TOP: Patient rooms serve as the
heart of each patient's healing
journey. Both high tech and
abundant with greenery, each
room can adapt to each patient's
unique needs. ABOVE: Serene
healing gardens provide locally
grown medicinal herbs and respite
space for patients and staff.
LEFT: The built environment and
natural surroundings converge in
the form of a flower, with each
petal serving a vital function.
Clean infrastructure colocated
on-site powers the facility and
provides energy, water, and food
resources to both patients and the
surrounding community.
