Making Institutions Non-Institutional
Healthcare design has traditionally been sterile and cold, and anything
but conducive to healing. However, in the last decade it's seen a shift that,
just like workplace design, possesses more of a hospitality and residential
feel. Maggie's Centres are quite possibly the most design-forward cancer
care centers in the world and have the wellness factor down pat. Designed
by different architects-from Rem Koolhaas to the late Zaha Hadid-
the drop-in centers are located throughout the UK and often implement
biophilic elements or connection to the outdoors. These centres embody
a new kind of space that is not quite medical nor completely domestic-
a hybrid architecture that looks quite unlike your average hospital. These
oases provide serenity as well as social and solitary spaces for cancer
patients, their families, and even the staff. Some also offer an extracurricular
component, such as the creative writing session depicted here at
the greenhouse-like Norman Foster-designed center in Manchester
(above and top).
In a similar vein, seniors are enjoying the benefits of good, thoughtful
design. The Veterans Memorial Building and Senior Center for Redwood City
(above) by ELS Architecture and Urban Design is a joint project of Redwood
City and YMCA, set to begin construction by the end of this year. The plans
astonishingly read more like a health club with a welcoming Bay Area
aesthetic and comprehensive list of amenities: a massive living room-like
lobby, dining hall, gymnasium, roof terrace with a jogging track, a 266-seat
theater for movie screenings and live performances, gallery corridors,
and many other multipurpose spaces. "Municipalities are realizing there's
a range of programming opportunities for seniors now," says Clarence
Mamuyac, Jr., president and CEO of ELS. "You have to find ways to be
flexible in design and support multiple activities." The 45,000-square-foot
project is replacing the old and dated Veterans Memorial Senior Center
and the former headquarters of the 49ers in Red Morton Park and
as such, will include permanent exhibitions honoring veterans, the 49ers,
and NFL alumni.
