Daiichi Hospital
Tetsuya Matsumoto
Architecture, Building and Structure Design Daiichi Hospital by Tetsuya Matsumoto Daiichi Hospital is moving to the new replacement building of its older blocks. The new design explores the idea of breaking up the monolithic blocks of modern hospitals without losing the functionality aspect crucial to a healthcare facility. The hospital is located along the national road No. 2. The north facade is designed to look like a thin sheet with playful random width window openings. A series of surface duplication slides toward the east creating an open book effect as an angle treatment and signaling the building's main entrance.
