Cell Hospital (2024) 图画 由 Nicolas Chammat

Dear members,
I am happy to share with you my next sketch of a hospital building, Cell Hospital.
It has the shape of a cell and its nucleus.
The design is so ingenious. I like to mix raw concrete with steel structures.
I intended to make an equal ratio in the design; you find equal quantities between steel, concrete, and glass.

Diving deeper, the base is concrete with a twist of modern, sharp embossed elements.
While the human brain is fortunate to be protected by a bony skull, the nucleus relies on a nuclear envelope for protection. The external shell is so made of glass for the envelope.

Translating this into the architectural world, the dome has the type of steel truss lattice (coque en treillis) holding the exterior glass panel layer punctually.
I can recall many projects for steel truss lattices, such as the lens-shaped glass roof over Saint Lazare metro station in Paris, and the commercial center Prado in Marseille.

Structurally speaking, the steel truss lattice (coque en treillis) is fixed to each floor of this medical building. So it helps reduce stresses on the steel profiles.
I'm also thinking of a vertical concrete core at the center of the plan to make the structure resistant to three-dimensional charges due to wind, snow, and seismic activities.

Hope you like the design for today. Give it a thumbs up.
Cordially,
Nicolas
