Hospital Dr. Gutiérrez
Venado Tuerto, Santa Fe, Argentina / Healthcare / 18,500 m²
Award, SCA-CPAU Sociedad Central de Arquitectos de Argentina, ex aequo
This high-complexity regional hospital is innovative in terms of its architectural design, advanced technology, and the services it provides. It forms part of the program implemented by the government of Santa Fe to provide accessible healthcare to all citizens based on sustainability, social and environmental impact, and the intelligent use of local resources.
It was the first of five hospitals constructed throughout the province utilizing the “typological design system” developed by Mario Corea to generate hospitals based on repeated modules that can be adapted to different scales, sites, and users.
Formally, the hospital is a horizontal two-level structure, facilitating an efficient circulation system that minimizes dependence on elevators with separate routes established for the different uses: public, medical, and services.
The interior spaces are organized around a series of patios, which provide natural light and ventilation, providing a sense of well-being for patients, visitors, and the medical personnel.
