Located in: Rahst, Iran
Architects: New Wave Architecture
Area: 30000 m²
Total 160 beds
Year: 2016

3. INTRODUCTION
The pars Hospital of Rasht is built in overall
30000 sqm with almost 160 beds, it is
located adjacent to one of most crowded
roads of Rasht city with high possibility of
rising in noise pollution in future. For having
less affection from sound pollution, the
expansion of the building in the site is in a
way to have most distance from road.

5. • The concept of design in ground
floor coming from having wide
space with combination of
diagnostic spaces, emergency parts
and Outpatient clinic which are
connected to other sections
vertically an horizontally through
main transparent Atrium, play vital
role of merging buildings sections
into one single entity and acting as
organizer of interior pedestrian path,
provide coherency, forming
hierarchy between public and
private areas and creating light
space with efficient usage of
daylight and less using electrical
energy.

6. DESIGN
Preservation of Continuity of
users movement beyond
remedial sections in all parts of
building is afforded in a way that
wouldn’t makesany interruption
between protected and
unprotected areas.

specific generated
spaces unlike the other
common types of health
centers are very bright
spaces, which in
composition to specific
colors increase efficiency
of daylight usage in
interiors.
• perfect distribution of areas,
shape of volume, alignment
to site’s context, view to
outside, green spaces,
furnishing, materials, color
and light values, etc should
be considered, as they help
persuade comfort feelings
and reduce stress and pain
in patients.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi
INTRODUCTION
Located on Al Maryah Island in the
heart of Abu Dhabi’s new central
business district, the 364-bed
(expandable to 490-bed) facility is
organized into five institutes: Digestive
Disease; Eye, Heart and Vascular;
Neurological; Respiratory; and Critical
Care. As in the United States, the
hospital will be a physician-led medical
facility served by western-trained,
board-certified physicians. It will be one
of the most advanced, high-tech and
luxurious hospitals in the world.

18. HISTORIC BACKGROUND
In the 1970s, when the king of Saudi Arabia
needed a heart operation, he did what Middle
East royals had been doing for decades: He
traveled to the United States. After his successful
procedure at the Cleveland Clinic, more wealthy
patients from the region followed, culminating in
thousands receiving care at the hospital. But
starting in 2012, these patients will no longer
have to pull out a passport to get Western
medical treatment. The Cleveland Clinic joins
other major U.S. institutions, such as Johns
Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic, in bringing its brand
of medicine to the Middle East. When it opens in
2012, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will be a multi-
specialty hospital on a par, its owners hope, with
the world’s top medical institutions.

19. DESIGN
“The term ‘hospital of the future’ is used
quite often, but I can’t imagine another
facility that reflects that phrase more than
the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi,” says
Mohammed Ayoub, lead HDR designer for
the project. “It’s a building that blends
cutting-edge technology, evidence-based
design, world-class care, and Arabic culture
with elegant architecture—creating a facility
that looks more like a seven-star hotel than a
hospital.”

20. DESIGN CONCEPT
The image of the campus, with its verdant
gardens, glowing double-skinned patient tower,
distinctive diamond-glazing, modern interiors
and colorful massing exemplifies the best of what
medical care can be. The design is overlaid with a
suite of cultural references that ground the
project firmly in Abu Dhabi. The color palette
represents surrounding natural elements, such as
the turquoise of the Gulf waters and the array of
neutrals of the desert, and interior patterns and
motifs reflect the local vernacular, as seen in
Arabesque patterned screen elements
throughout the building

21. To avoid the characteristic maze of
many hospitals, each healthcare
component is expressed in an
individual architecture form, arranged
to express the continuum of
healthcare— the Cleveland Clinic
model. The blocks are elegantly stacked
around a central reflecting pool; the
entire design literally and figuratively
founded on water, a universally
recognized source and symbol of
serenity and healing. This grouping of
blocks creates efficiencies for the staff
and obvious wayfinding for visitors,
replacing winding hallways with sleek
glass walkways that connect the
inpatient spaces with the 340-exam
room outpatient clinic, 210 faculty
offices, conference center, simulation
center and administrative building.

22. The interior concept is based on blurring
the lines between hospital and hospitality.
The interior materials—glistening onyx
and warm, rich wood tones—soften, and,
at the same time, anchor the interior to
the exterior. Indoor water elements
impart white noise to calm patients and
provide a sense of tranquility, while green
spaces boost mental alertness and create
gathering areas that reinforce the
hospital’s sense of community.
The patient rooms are intentionally
designed with large family spaces and
amenities to involve the family in the
healing process. Abundant windows with
views of lush rooftop gardens and the
Arabian Sea provide a soothing
atmosphere that advances wellness and
recovery.
INTERIOR CONCEPT

24. MATERIALS
HDR opted for primarily wood,
stone, and metal finishes. A
warmcolored onyx animates
both exterior and interior
surfaces. “The interior and
exterior designs were
considered together,” he
explained. Often in hospitals,
the level of interior beauty
diminishes with each
successive higher floor plate

25. PLAN

26. PLAN
The characteristic maze-like layout of other
healthcare facilities was avoided by housing each
healthcare component in its own individual
architectural form. The straightforward stacking of
the forms creates efficiencies for staff, intuitive
wayfinding for visitors and an architectural icon that
can be seen for miles
