Regional Council of Lombardia approved the hypothesis of an “agreement plan” in order to realize a new health centre near Milan. It will be named the “Health City” and will be built in the area of Sacco Hospital as well as the neurological institute Besta and the national tumour institute.
New compound will arise in an area of about 250.000 square metres and will have a capacity of 1.405 sleeping accommodation. The agreement plan already defines sleeping accommodation separations between the three original hospitals and the surface area percentage dedicated to research & treatment and accessories functions.
“Health city” is new function where pathology treatment is combined with scientific research, keeping singular institute peculiarity and improving research and didactics role. In order to have excellent result, the architectural project must answer to many requirements structured in different levels. The focus was on welfare activities and, where relevant, the indications defined by “Metaprogetto Piano – Veronesi” (12/12/2000); these were integrated and applied into the generally analyzed scenario. According to this point of view, the activities of ASP students involved in “Sustainable planning of hospitals in urban area” included the creation of a Masterplan of “Health City” project area. Subsequently students have to integrate new structures with Sacco Hospital, so they decide where localize new structure and they have to study green area placement, road networks and traffic flows. In parallel to these activities students have to study advanced themes related with transport flow and internal layout. The last one was analyzed from a functional and organizational point of
view.
