The document analyzes the sustainability features of Friendship Hospital in Shyamnagar, Bangladesh, designed by Kashef Chowdhury/Urbana and completed in April 2018. Key elements include rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation, and the use of local materials, creating a design that minimizes reliance on air conditioning while promoting visual connectivity and comfort for patients. The hospital's layout incorporates courtyards and a canal to enhance natural cooling and scenery, ensuring both functional and aesthetic value.

3. Water is an essential part of the project. Rainwater is collected and stored in a tank for reuse. A canal cuts the length of the campus in
half, separating the areas for inpatient and outpatient services. Through ordinary evaporation, the canal also helps to naturally cool the
campus on hot summer days. This channel of water adds visual relief as it provides a welcome distraction from the anxiety and
unhappiness related to illness, for both patients and their relatives.

4. An array of technological and compositional
solutions that allow the building to function at elevated
temperatures without having to resort to expensive air
cooling systems. The buildings are arranged at an
angle in order to exploit the direction of the wind flow
and, even with arcades providing shade, are designed to
bring sunlight indoors, don’t need air conditioning
expect the operation theaters and delivery rooms.

5. A series of courtyards bring in natural
light and ventilation, while a canal
traversing the site collects valuable
rainwater, since the saline water under
the ground remains unusable for most
purposes. Geometrical series of courtyard
are arranged in a informal manner.
Courtyards offering patients a peaceful,
restful place with a view of the natural
landscape around them.
