AIA HEALTHCARE AWARDS 2008
by ArchitectureWeek
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0917/news_1-1.html
At the CHA Women & Children's Hospital near Seoul, a
softness of natural light, organic elements, and curving
form tempers a sleek building of glass, aluminum, and
stainless steel. KMD Architects designed the facility,
with associate architect yo2 Architects, to provide
uncluttered respite from the surrounding neighborhood's
visual noise.
The hospital in South Korea received one of the AIA
National Healthcare Design Awards for 2008. In this
inaugural awards cycle, the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) Academy of Architecture for Health
recognized four healthcare facilities, from Tucson to
Shenzhen, for exemplary design in addressing concerns of
program, aesthetics, and context. Extensive daylighting
is common to all the buildings, primarily for patient
and staff benefit.
Hospital Chic
The aesthetic of CHA Women's Hospital imitates trends in
high-couture shops and spas. In fact, an extended-stay
spa fills an entire floor of the building.
One challenge in designing the hospital, which is
surrounded closely by buildings on three sides, was to
maximize daylighting while protecting patient privacy.

Currier Museum of Art

The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire,
reopened its doors in spring 2008 after an expansion
designed by Ann Beha Architects. This was both a
sympathetic and a very modern expansion, and the results
provide quite an elegant increase in the museum's scope.

** ArchitectureWeek is a green and low-carbon-footprint
publication. By publishing this professional design and building
magazine online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly,
50 large trees every week, or 2500 trees (a dozen or more acres
of mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
powered by a green mix of 98% wind energy and 2% solar power
through our local electric utilities.
