Schematic Design


Conceptual Exploration
My concept is GROWTH. The patient's GROWTH will be determined by the knowledge they gain at Central Regional Hospital. The physical activities they do will help them to GROW strong and healthy bodies. The learning activities they do in the school classes will help them to GROW smart brains. The materials, textures, lighting, furniture, and design details will be carefully chosen to show GROWTH.

The design of the space will be influenced by GROWTH. For the group rooms I wanted to have a partition wall that was still transparent and open so that the small spaces don't get any smaller and feel claustrophobic. I found some furniture that will show GROWTH vertically by widening out at the top. I want to have activities for the children and adolescent to GROW physically healthy and knowledgable. I brain stormed about how to change to reception desk to be more welcoming and inviting for the patients to be able to talk to the staff comfortably. I looked at transparent materials, one being open at the bottom, and then also just height changes.
