ArtNook: “Moved to Care” Design Competition
a submittal by Raquel Mayorga and Ben Granlund in collaboration with the Gettliffe Architecture Team
The new display showcases our most recent design competition submittal – a “Mobile Healthcare Facility for Communities in Southeast Asia” – for Building Trust International’s Moved to Care design contest:
The aim of this competition is to design a healthcare facility that is safe, secure and can be relocated with relative ease. It should contain at least the following;
– A clean sterile environment for small surgical procedures
– A temperature controlled space for storing medicinal drugs
– An area for nursing care and provision of information on wellbeing topics
– Basic wash, toilet and kitchen facilities
The design should have a sensitivity to the tropical surroundings and where possible provide a sustainable solution. The jury will be looking for projects that attempt to keep capital and maintenance costs low in order to increase the potential of multiple projects being realised.
