MIÑO HEALTH CENTER

The attention to the spatial atmospheres and the emotional response that they provoke is delicate in certain programs and that of the health is one of them.
We look for an extrovert and active space overturned with the dynamics of the life.
For it and in view of the conditions of the lot, there arises a geometry capable of generating spaces and paraments capable of being or working like two things through different moments.

The project tries to control the immediate environment creating in its interior its own landscape, since the dividing ones between(among) those who are inserted have a temporary character, some of them exist with minor height those that the new planning allows and others are plots deprived at the moment without constructing. For it the building generates a constant court south north, variegated and enriched in its scale for the pieces that cross it, and in that the party walls are one more front by means of the overlapping lattice of wood, allowing to qualify and to control it from the own(proper) project it.

This way the building is conceived as an excavated block, leaving the extracted turned so much into exterior court, as into interior zones of wait.

The drafty front of polycarbonate tints the relation with the exterior and the interior soleamiento, leaving the presence of the air and the "green one" in the left court of apple and increasing perceptively the dimension of the north court - south, on having blurred its limits and having increased the light of the same one; on the other hand energetically it is tremendously effective, and allows to control the variety of hollows that the building demands(sues), integrating(repaying) them in an unitary surface.
