Speciality Hospital, the Cordoba regional healthcare headquarters and a medical center

Complex program involving the connection of three buildings into a single structure. The comb-shaped layout features large courtyards. Access to the complex is provided with a linear structure along the main street.
The adaptation to the urban scale of the environment involves isolated buildings, creating a volumetric fragmentation and a series of step-backs that allow carving out public space around the Centre.
Essentially horizontal volumetric composition resulting in a unique public building. Low-rise, open-space building to allow large crowds inside, facilitating movement with different exits to the outside. PV panel facade to produce renewable energy and protect interior spaces from the sun.
