INTRODUCTION:
Hospital is an institution that is built, staffed, and equipped for the diagnosis of
disease: for the treatment, both medical and surgical, of the sick and the injured; and
for their housing during this process. The modern hospital also often serves as a
center for investigation and for teaching. A hospital and other health facilities shall be
planned and designed to observe appropriate architectural practices, to meet
prescribed functional programs, and to conform to applicable codes as part of normal
professional practice.

Factors To be Considered in Locating a hospital:

1. It should be within 15-30 min travelling time. In district with good roads and
adequate means of transport, this would mean a service zone with a radius of
about 25 km.
2. It should be grouped with other institutional facilities, such as religious
(church), education (school), tribal (cultural) and commercial (market) centers.
3. It should be free from dangers of flooding; it must not, therefore, be sited at
the lowest point of the district.
4. It should be in an area free of pollution of any kind, including air, noise, water
and land pollution.
5. It must be serviced by public utilities; water, sewage and storm-water
disposal, electricity, gas and telephone. In areas where such utilizes are
available, substitutes must be found such as a deep well for water, generators
for electricity and radio for communication for telephone.

Types of Entries:

emergency entrance, second is the in-patient I.P.D entry and the third is the out-
patient entry i.e., O.P.D entry. Beside this the hospital has the separate service
entry and the separate entry for the administration wing. The Main entry to the
hospital is characterized by the ease in circulation, large waiting area and the
general public facilities such as atm, phone booths, coffee stand and the
reception area etc.…. Nowadays the modern hospitals also have the provision of
the florist shop in the hospital building.
Concept
Biophilic design as a theoretical framework to interpret ‘nature’ in
architecture. Biophilic designs are innovative ways of incorporating nature into
buildings and modern architecture. Biophilia means the human tendency to interact
or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature. This concept is
incorporated into the building industry to increase the connection between the
occupants with the natural environment.

Biophilic design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity
to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place
conditions. Used at both the building and city-scale.
