There are two major constraints that set the guidelines for the architectural and functional design of the building. We created two large juxtaposed zones in dialogue with each other. First we have the clinical and service areas, organised around a central patio upon which the whole building rests. Secondly, we have the outpatient and hospital areas, which occupy the arms which emerge from it and which open towards the city as well as the imposing views of the Sierra Nevada. It is a model hospital and will constitute the key element in the activities of the new Campus de la Salud de Granada. We have tried to optimise circulation, grouping all the units of each expertise on the same level, distributing the functional area following the healthcare process, from the outpatient consultation to the clinical block, passing through examination and hospitalisation. The central basement of the building has two large circulation axes which separate and organise the processes which take place in the hospital. Above it are located the healthcare units which have different geometries depending on the activity in question. The careful design of the facade, thanks to the combination of yellow stone and curtain wall, brings unity to a functional and volumetrically complex building.
