Human First: A lighthouse project of healing architecture for Freiburg and the world! The new paediatric and adolescent clinic with a focus on patients and healing art at Freiburg University Hospital was officially opened in September 2024. This heralds a new era of recovery-promoting healthcare buildings, planned and realised by Health Team Vienna - consisting of Albert Wimmer ZT and Architects Collective ZT. With research, healing and psychosocial care under one roof, the new clinic delivers a genuine healing environment following a stringent evidence-based design process with innovative, well thought-out spatial concepts, a specially developed colour scheme and a strong focus on art, which softens the classic hospital characteristics and has a stress-reducing effect for everyone on site. In June 2024, the clinic was honoured with the European Healthcare Design Award 2024 in the ‘Buildings over 25,000 m2’ category as one of three shortlisted projects with the title ‘Highly Commended’.

We are delighted to have won 2nd place in the competition for the new head center of the Klinikum Klagenfurt. Our design was conceived as a cuboid new building with two spacious inner courtyards, which is aligned in height and cubature with the existing Surgical-Medical Center (CMZ). The rhythmic character of the hospital's courtyards would thus be retained, as would the urban scale. To create an attractive public space, the new head centre is set back slightly from the southern edge of the construction site. A spacious, largely car-free forecourt, an urban climate square, creates a pleasant new space with trees and seating, and forms the new entrance for the head centre and the future oncology centre.
