Manta Hospital
Criteria such as universal accessibility and parametric design consolidate the Manta Hospital, the third healthcare center designed by PMMT Architecture in Ecuador. This new building is one of the most advanced buildings in the healthcare sector.
The Manta Hospital was built accordingly to the parameters settled for the “Fluid Hospital”, a typology created by PMMT Architecture whose conceptualization and design are the result of a standardized method that starts with an in-depth analysis of the metric that defines the building, enabling an important time reduction fort the design, construction, equipment and commissioning processes.
The new Manta Hospital, located in the coast of Ecuador, is the third healthcar... More
