The Future Hospital - Al Daayan Health District by OMA

Led by Reinier de Graaf, OMA introduces its Al Daayan Health District, which will be realized in Doha, Qatar. The team seeks to reimagine the hospital, a feat which is an urgent priority in the context of rapidly advancing medical innovation. Located on an untouched, 1.3 million square-meter site between Qatar University and the new Lusail City, the Al Daayan Health District presents the perfect opportunity - the architects note that it offers the possibility for a new symbiosis between architecture and medical science.

[@kayak0000]

I'm a doctor for 26 years. Seeing this, i believe the designers clearly have no idea how hospital traffic works.

[@LeonNeuton]

Don't you believe there was a case study before this "reimagination"? Efficiency is paramount for our future cities and its infrastructure.

[@gamm8939]

@@LeonNeuton You think some random company for Qatar did that?

[@Hari-tv]

​@@LeonNeuton its to wide, some traffic need fast acces or short time to reach. They add to many blank space for nature. From what I see they add nothing for central for quick acces. Just a bunch of garden. I know garden seems nice. But we need central processing like processor. Like emergency room, where they can easly to acces, from entrance to surgery room and check up. They dont need to add bunch garden like that.

[@Hari-tv]

If they want make futureristic design, make it like processor or modern like DPU.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

As a non doctor le met tell you - you demonstrate how you lack anything more than medical education. You think you know hospital traffic - but do you in a time when you will have more robots doing work than humans? When you will have to rework a lot of your "traffic" on a nearly every couple of years method due to significant changes in medical knowledge and approaches? When i.e. your cancer section turns into giving people injections to train their antibodies - and not doing chemo at all (and yes, this stuff is in medical trial)? When - seriously, this is the future. They plan on a 20 year timeframe. When people are now field testing treatments to partially reverse aging. And you see nothing - because the overview is too high level - about emergency room access etc . - it is quite possible one of the blocks IS an emergency room with operations right on the next block with a fast transfer.

[@srinivasaraobudati497]

This hospital design basically brings into dysfunctional operation, both for healthcare staff and patients. The patient immediate csre goes out of the windows into the open areas. Idea could may well suited for a regimental school. OMA seems to be pinned on to design visuals.

[@Another_Story_]

yes its a bad design. You can have green spaces but if you gonna make 50% of the hospital greenspace that looks exactly the same squares it starts to turn into an inefficient maze

[@ThomasTomiczek]

@@Another_Story_ Maybe you need to - cough - get your self declared unfit mentally because one has to be EXTREMELY stupid to consider a chessboard (squares) with major links on both axis to be a MAZE. Especially in a time when we cna assume you ahve walls with instructions everywhere. Are in A3, need to go do D7? What the heck do you think a MAZE looks like?

[@cgmax9768]

@@ThomasTomiczek My uni is designed exactly like this, and even if the sections are numbered on big panels i can tell you it's a maze, even after being in the school for several months. You need time to accomodate to your regular pathways, so i can't imagine newcomers that only are here for few hours to few days. And, there is no need to highlight your rudeness with Caps. Also, with this design, if you want to go from a section to another, you have no direct and efficient pathways, you need to constantly make turns which is longer than a direct optimal line between the two points. At the end of the day, your hospital's capacity is less than what it could be, because you lose precious time in transfers.Totally agree with the critics here about that hospital being really dysfunctional.

While I admire this design and the positive intent behind it, I would like to see a near-complete reworking of what a “hospital” should or could be. I would very much like to be able to go to a single facility for ALL of my healthcare needs and receive-in a SINGLE visit-a full preventative checkup. This would include a physical, imaging, labs, hearing, vision, dental and psychological evaluation. Why wait for illness to strike? Shift the costs of reactionary treatment over to preventative care. Healthcare is a right, and we need to design our processes around that notion.

[@vornamenachname8001]

building vertically with balconies would be a much better design. elevators actually speed up transport times because everything is closer together. and now its small enough to be built in a city where a hospital belongs

[@ruben4447]

Yeah but its not that necessarily. Its not like people are trying to save as much space in the desert as possible. Thats the only upside with building in the desert. Space isnt that much of a problem.

[@hrsmrt9292]

Hospital with 'touche with nature' concept is really good, Lot of capacity tho, but it's too 'horizontal' and vast, good luck for visitors, looking for patient room🤔

[@Goblinhype]

One of the things that kept me sane at any point of my life while being in a hospital is the view. This blueprint looks like a nightmare.

[@NgochiaEbenezer]

If we are to pay close attention, perhaps by activating the subtitles, it would be noticed that the hospital is conceptualized to be a system of modules, "a structure that can be scaled up or down, yet functional at all times". So, in giving precise attention to the meaning of "modules," I believe we then can appreciate such a design solution.

[@iandangelo-o3d]

two floors makes the construction cost cheaper and easier to do, I think the only two problems are the speed of getting from one area to another and emergency isolation in case of dangerous diseases

[@elesjuanpi7041]

It would be a real challenge so it can be functional according to the flow of each activity and what the law allows. I visualize this project as multiple hospital units with different specialties.

Imagine having to move patients between several departments!

[@qataribananahamock1495]

im sure they wouldnt put a dentist next to an emergency room. we already have 3-4 story hospitals, and they function waaay better than a highrise tower hospital cause the lift is used by everyone all the time. here its 2 stories only. i think its more functional like this, cause cars can enter close to each side of building, less queues inside. should they need more floors i, sure some section can go bit more vertical.

[@theinternetsavedmylife]

@@muktarajibola4634 All those things you mentioned reduce efficiency, occupy more space reducing ergonomics and are not just costly to install but also to operate. I don't know if you've ever moved a disabled person before, but I doubt escalators are that friendly to someone on a stretcher. Your comment only validates my point. As a Nigerian, almost all our hospitals are built like this. Land is most times wasted and underutilized. My auntie had an accident and had to be hospitalized. We paid #40,000 just to move her from the Accident Unit to the female ward. They had to hire an ambulance and all that. That's a huge waste of resources! And when you think of it, all of that space could have been used to create a garden which is very important for physiotherapy and patient's general wellbeing. I know the stress involved in moving from one department to another, especially when you're not feeling well. In the West you see a compact 6 storey building housing everything. You just have to get in through the front door and every department is just a floor or room away. If any patient needs relocation, they put you in a stretcher, get in the elevator (most times there is a special elevator to move special-case patients) and viola! You're on another floor. Easy-peasy!

[@theinternetsavedmylife]

​@AkitoTenkai Are you an idiot, no offense! Strategic placement? Did you just learn that yesterday and want to show off your new knowledge? Do you have any idea how diagnosis works? Have you ever been in a hospital? Doctors refer you to different departments and specialists based on new information gotten. Diagnosis is basically trial and error. Doctors cannot treat you until they know what is wrong with you and if one diagnosis comes out negative you have to try with a different specialist. If that specialist is on the extreme end of the building, what would you do then? If they just build up, that's another floor but in this case that 300 or 500 metres away! Tell me that's not stressful especially for someone who's sick! You have no idea what you're talking about
