Evolving Infirmary

evolo_transpital_1

A hospital must adapt to its requirements. In the event of a physical natural disaster, the Emergency Rooms would get occupied, but in that situation, the Infection department, or the rehab centre would pretty much lie vacant. And this would operate the same way for say a viral epidemic. The Transpital is a pretty futuristic hospital concept that revolves around being flexible and mobile. Individual patient units can be allotted to any given department, expanding it or contracting it based on the requirement. Each department is a massive transparent chamber that travels up and down, allowing medical staff to swiftly move not just between departments, but between individual rooms/units too.

Designers: Chen Linag, Jia Tongyu, Sun Bo, Wang Qun, Zhang Kai & Choi Minhye.
