Hospital construction

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hospital construction describes a type of construction that includes structures that are designed, planned and erected for the functions of a hospital .

The building type approach developed at the beginning of the 18th century. First of all, the pavilion system is typical, in which individual one to two-story buildings are distributed over a site and connected to one another by access routes. According to this concept, the clinic in Friedrichshain was first built in Germany by the architects Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden . The comb system was also used in the 19th century, first at the Hôpital St-André in Bordeaux in France. Sick wards arranged parallel to one another are connected to a main building. From the 20th century, block buildings, high-rise buildings and T-shaped buildings were also built.
