Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital Health Management Center

China’s aging population is deepening with each passing year, and there is a growing interest in healthcare facilities. In light of this, this project was the first in China to pioneer the function of proactive health management support using medical checkups, such as disease prevention and early detection. Based on the concept of the traditional Chinese saying “Huashuoyixuoyou,” which means “to fly high in the sky with a crane,” the design of the building features a large pavilion on the second floor that juts out from the first floor, creating the image of a crane’s wings. The facade features a sharp vertical louvers and refresh spaces at the corners, accentuating the image of the crane’s wings. In addition to the large pavilion that serves as the building’s main feature and the communication space in front, the design also features sharp vertical louvers and refresh spaces at the four corners. In addition, to take into account the landscape of Lingshan Mountain, a symbol of the local area, the building height has been reduced, creating an atmosphere that makes people feel as if they are not aware that they are underground thanks to the wind void and the sunroom. The interior has been designed to evoke the image of the mountains, trees (bamboo), and water, elements of the Jiangnan culture of Nanjing, to create a relaxing atmosphere that makes people feel at ease.
