Arogyaneer Hospital
A 100-bed hospital shaped by heat, traffic, noise and dust.
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh · 100 beds
Arogyaneer is a 100-bed medical facility in Varanasi. The form of the building is a response to extreme temperatures, and to increasing traffic, noise and dust along the main access road.
Two blocks are connected by a central bridge at each level, allowing natural wind to flow across to the west side of the building. The west side of the site is carved into a series of terrace gardens. The screen on the front facade along the bridges shields the terrace gardens from dust and noise, while allowing the air to cool as it crosses over the west side, thanks to the Venturi effect.
