Open international idea competition (46 entries), 1st prize ex aequo (together with Carel Weeber)

The idea of the competition was to find new ideas and concepts about how to organize health care in the future. The assignment was to envision a city of 160 000 inhabitants in The Netherlands on reclaimed land, and to create a concept for the healthcare system as well as the buildings to serve it. The ancient Greek Asclepieion concept was chosen as a starting point, buildings located in the heart of the city thus profiting from the synergy provided by other functions in the city. Flexibility and modularity were key words in the design of the facilities.
