DESIGN
This inpatient bedroom has space for at least two patients. A balcony provides natural light and ventilation.
patients with a space to walk and a nice view from the bedroom balconies located just above for patients who are not able to get there. The roof garden also explores the benefits of a sensory experience, which includes aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants to promote visual, tactile and olfactory stimulation. Contemplation and involvement in a pleasant environment releases endorphins and promotes physical and mental wellbeing, which can help to reduce the length of a hospital stay. In addition, the roof garden improves the relationship between doctors, students, patients and family members by providing a space for interaction, reducing stress and promoting social contact and conversation. In addition to the benefits of
therapeutic gardens and pleasant views, the creation of therapeutic spaces gives the user access to daily references as well as the psychological benefits of colour and cultural references.
Energy efficiency Therapeutic spaces should also take into account comfort in terms of acoustics, warmth, light, privacy and visual control. The buildings follow environmental sustainability principles in line with the status of the hospital as a model for innovation. The teaching hospital is designed to be a healthy building with a flexible design that is energy efficient to reduce costs, preserve natural resources and ensure human comfort. Energy efficiency strategies are based on the efficient use of sunlight and ventilation. Internal courtyards of various sizes were created to promote natural light and reduce energy consumption. The ventilation system involves internal courtyards and air ventilation ducts that capture the cold air that passes through the columns and leads it upwards. The adoption of tilting windows on doors promotes air circulation from balconies throughout the interior.

Another energy efficiency strategy is the use of green roofs, which minimise thermal load, reducing the absorption of heat to about 40 per cent and consequently reducing the need for artificial climatisation. In addition, green roofs help with the gradual drainage of rainwater and are visually appealing when viewed from patient rooms. Finally, the use of photovoltaic panels to capture solar energy reduces the use of electricity. Protection from the sun provided by brises soleils also promotes comfort in terms of warmth and light. Rainwater is collected in parts of the
roof; more than 170,000 litres can be collected over the 7300 m2
for use in
the therapeutic gardens and to wash external areas and vehicles. The drain floors reduce environmental impact by
promoting land drainage and ensuring soil permeability.
Conclusion The UFLA teaching hospital project is an example of architectural practice that addresses complex problems and meets technical and functional expectations to achieve facilities that support the infrastructure while still meeting the emotional, behavioural and sensorial needs of the user. Thus, the result is aligned with the most contemporary concepts in healthcare, helping to improve patient health, increase staff productivity and qualify the learning process, creating therapeutic spaces that are designed for people, but are technically appropriate to promote not only healing, but also health and education.
