| summary |
This project explores the implementation of parametric patterning, digital fabrication, and complex geometries in the creation of a private pediatric neurology clinic. The clinic challenges the conventional utilitarian approach of medical spaces by incorporating color, texture, and geometry to establish a light-filled and lively environment for both patients and staff. Through a careful organization of programmatic spaces, the design optimizes circulation paths, ensuring seamless movement for medical practitioners while providing comfortable waiting areas for patients. The integration of custom-designed elements, such as CNC-milled acoustic felt cladding and a feature wall derived from a CT scan of the human brain, serves to enhance the visual and tactile experiences of children with neurological disorders. |
