ACTIU Berbegal y Formas, S.A.
Projects / Health / Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital, Vigo

Vigo, Spain

The healing architecture of Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital

Objective

In this project, Luis Vidal Arquitectos faced the challenge of creating a new healthcare infrastructure, with a vision of the future and covering a healthcare area of approximately 600,000 inhabitants, the largest in Galicia. A 280,000 m2 building, which in addition to the spaces associated with hospital use should house a heliport, a library, a nursery, a cafeteria, a teaching area with training and research classrooms, and an auditorium.

In order to respond to the different needs and bring patients and healthcare professionals closer together, Actiu has adapted and designed specific furniture for each space.

Solution

Inspired by the sails of a ship, Luis Vidal Arquitectos created a hospital that won the International Award for the Best Hospital of the Future from the International Academy of Design and Health in Kuala Lumpur, which materialises the concept of 'healing architecture' through spaces illuminated with natural light and a therapeutic garden as an element to reduce stress.

The designer and Project Manager Andreu Belenguer was responsible for a humanised interior design, which seeks to bring patients and doctors closer together. Spaces in which the furniture does not act as a barrier, for which Actiu has adapted and designed made-to-measure pieces such as the Vital Plus consultation table, in the shape of a raindrop to favour a warmer and closer relationship with the patient and their companions.

The Audit armchairs in the auditorium, with ergonomic volumes that ensure stable recovery when folded, and the Tabula tables and Wing chairs in the cafeteria, are other of the programmes with which Actiu has participated in this project, focused on people's well-being and which articulates content and container in a natural and highly functional manner.
