Reimagining Hospitals: Nature as Healer Of Earth 🌏

🌱Imagine #waking up to birdsong, not beeping machines, in a hospital! #vincentcallebautarchitectures' HOSPIWOOD project in Belgium is making this a reality. This #biophilic #hospital campus replaces sterile concrete with the #healing power of nature.🫶

⏹HOSPIWOOD #rehumanizes healthcare in 10 ways (check the original post for all the details!), including: turning the hospital into an urban forest, #maximizing natural light, creating therapeutic gardens, incorporating #cascading terraces, and using eco-friendly wood. 🎮

What are Earth Berm Structures?

💜Structures that are partially or fully covered with #soil to take #advantage of the earth's thermal mass.
⭐️The earth #absorbs and stores heat, keeping interiors cooler in summer and #warmer in winter.

⚪️Types of #Earth Berm Structures

1. Fully Buried - Entire building is underground, #maximizing thermal benefits with entry either from top or side.
2. Atrium Bermed - Surrounds a central open space with earth-bermed walls for #controlled #ventilation.
3. Hillside Bermed - Built into a slope, where one side is #exposed, and others are #covered.💦🎮
