REUSE OF THE HOSPITAL PROPERTY

In our visi­on, the pro­po­sed urban plan­ning and archi­tec­tu­ral solu­ti­ons repre­sent an impe­tus for the gra­du­al trans­for­ma­ti­on of this area – they are inten­ded to reve­al its poten­ti­al and give it a new, con­tem­po­ra­ry iden­ti­ty with regio­nal and supra-regio­nal signi­fi­can­ce. Our approach is based on four core values that we con­sider to be the foun­da­ti­on for future deve­lo­p­ment:

Crea­ti­vi­ty – stands for the fle­xi­bi­li­ty and open­ness of the pro­po­sed solu­ti­ons, the pos­si­bi­li­ty of adap­ting the pro­cess of rede­sig­ning spaces to new needs, and the poten­ti­al to enrich the cul­tu­ral and social life of the city.

User ori­en­ta­ti­on – we see the space as a poten­ti­al for inter­ac­tion bet­ween local resi­dents and visi­tors, pro­du­cers and con­su­mers – and as a shared space whe­re eco­no­mic aspects coexist with social values. Our approach is based on the WIM­BY (Wel­co­me In My Back­yard) con­cept, which pro­vi­des for the actu­al invol­vement of the local com­mu­ni­ty in the plan­ning and imple­men­ta­ti­on pro­cess.

Eco­no­mic effi­ci­en­cy – unders­tood as the effi­ci­ent use of resour­ces: time, ener­gy, finan­ces and mate­ri­als. This aspect is cru­cial in order to achie­ve satis­fac­to­ry results while at the same time taking a con­scious and eco­no­mic­al approach.

Sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment – we do not only under­stand it as an eco­lo­gi­cal approach to con­s­truc­tion and the use of resour­ces, but also as the har­mo­ni­sa­ti­on of social, cul­tu­ral and eco­no­mic goals. Sus­taina­bi­li­ty means both caring for the future of the place and being mindful of its cur­rent users.
