As part of the competition, which was announced throughout Europe, an urban planning and structural overall concept for the new building of the children’s and youth clinic of the Universitätsklinikum Freiburg was to be presented.
The design submitted by LUDES proposes a building structure differentiated in terms of storey height and building depth, which should completely exclude any association with technoid and sterile hospital buildings. A two-layered, wave-like curved façade with movable vertical wooden lamellas is intended to give the building an organic and lively character, while at the same time revealing the clearly structured layering of the functions required for patient care. Two nursing floors (1st floor, 2nd floor), each with four wards, will be built on top of the two treatment levels (ground floor and first floor). The basement and the 3rd floor take on supplementary functions (e.g. laboratory and waste disposal).
The two-tiered floor plan, that is well integrated with the green surroundings, creates space for two spacious and light-flooded inner courtyards, as rest areas within the building.
A maximum of naturally lit and ventilated rooms is intended throughout the building. The choice of colours and materials for the interior rooms is also meant to contribute to the well-being of the little patients and their parents.
