With the restructuring and service expansion of the Favoriten Clinic, a central building for a new central emergency room, the departments of cardiology, internal medicine, neurology as well as pulmonology is to be built in place of the outdated pavilion structure. F+P ARCHITEKTEN are in charge as general planner.
Architects Collective, F+P Architects and SWAP Architecture are pooling their expertise across projects to create a leading Healthcare Architecture cooperation.
First place! SWAP Architektur won the competition for the new laboratory building "House 7" of the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin.
We set two thematic priorities in our design:
On the one hand, we wanted to construct a building that allows the greatest possible flexibility, because laboratory buildings must be able to adapt to constantly changing requirements. The second focus in the architectural concept lies in the treatment and quality of the communicative areas, as communication plays a central role in science and research.
The Favoriten Clinic will be modernized by 2034 as part of an extensive investment program by the Vienna Health Association. Within the framework of the restructuring and expansion of the hospital complex, a new building - which will provide space for radiology, the breast health center, the interventional vascular center, and administrative workplaces in the coming years - is being constructed in the center of the hospital site (construction site 3).
