This project is another good example of the role the floor plan has played in architectural practice, for it is the layout of this floor plan that influences the complex program of a hospital in which each ward is a building block. The concatenation of wards gives way to courtyards that can and must be considered characteristic elements of this project, as providing the patients with a comfortable environment was one of the architect’s goals. Such comfort is also achieved through the choice of materials both inside and out, which seek to be perceived as indicative of a technological culture to which a hospital is no stranger. Clarity, cleanliness, and brightness are attributes of hygiene and also of this architecture, which we would like to describe as rational and optimistic. (Rafael Moneo)
