In their project for the University Hospital, the authors demonstrated a thoughtful approach to shaping its architecture using the principles of "HQE" and preserved the continuity of the traditions of the historic city in shaping its panorama.
The authors paid significant attention to the implementation of sustainable development principles in the Complex and the project's compliance with the LEED certification system. This is a very good environmental approach.
I recommend authors to pay attention to the following aspects of their work:
- in terms of ensuring sanitation, it would be advisable to separate the residential sector from the hospital zone in several rows of trees;
- it is necessary to use сompositional methods that combine the architecture of projected buildings and covering of pedestrian zones, for example, the use of similar forms and structures;
- in my opinion, the Hospital Complex will become more interesting if one of the hospital buildings (in a visually significant point of site) will become a compositional center, and other buildings will play the role of the background elements that are subject to it;
- different textures and light shades of materials, thoughtfully used on the outer facades can improve their design;
- explanations of drawings in English in short files would simplify the review process. Unfortunately, online translators and AI refused to translate whole presentations.
In general, the authors have created a very interesting project of the modern medical complex, which is needed by the community of the University and the city.
