Introduction
The aim of this project was to design a hospital comprising 100 beds and various departments, including radiology, physiotherapy, laboratories, emergency, LDR, ICU, CCU, isolation, surgery, and offices. The main challenge we encountered during this project revolved around ensuring compliance with strict regulations while carefully considering circulation, building forms, different perspectives, and the layout of the hospital wards.

Designing a hospital is a matter of great gravity, with strict adherence to design rules at the forefront of attention. Consequently, it can be likened to solving a complex jigsaw puzzle.

In this particular design, the primary challenges faced by the design team revolved around determining the optimal location, orientation, and proportion of each department. The aim was to ensure that all horizontal and vertical connections and relationships were taken into careful consideration, while simultaneously preserving the tranquillity of the design and ensuring the smooth functioning of the entire system.

Proposition
One of the utmost crucial factors in this design is balance. The form, shape, circulation, lighting, windows, and openings are all interconnected. To achieve this mindset in the design, a comprehensive viewpoint that considers everything in a holistic manner is required.
