The Future Hospital - Al Daayan Health District by OMA 

Don't you believe there was a case study before this "reimagination"? Efficiency is paramount for our future cities and its infrastructure.

@@LeonNeuton You think some random company for Qatar did that?

​@@LeonNeuton its to wide, some traffic need fast acces or short time to reach. They add to many blank space for nature. From what I see they add nothing for central for quick acces. Just a bunch of garden. I know garden seems nice. But we need central processing like processor. Like emergency room, where they can easly to acces, from entrance to surgery room and check up. They dont need to add bunch garden like that.

If they want make futureristic design, make it like processor or modern like DPU.

As a non doctor le met tell you - you demonstrate how you lack anything more than medical education. You think you know hospital traffic - but do you in a time when you will have more robots doing work than humans? When you will have to rework a lot of your "traffic" on a nearly every couple of years method due to significant changes in medical knowledge and approaches? When i.e. your cancer section turns into giving people injections to train their antibodies - and not doing chemo at all (and yes, this stuff is in medical trial)? When - seriously, this is the future. They plan on a 20 year timeframe. When people are now field testing treatments to partially reverse aging. And you see nothing - because the overview is too high level - about emergency room access etc . - it is quite possible one of the blocks IS an emergency room with operations right on the next block with a fast transfer.

yes its a bad design. You can have green spaces but if you gonna make 50% of the hospital greenspace that looks exactly the same squares it starts to turn into an inefficient maze

@@Another_Story_ Maybe you need to - cough - get your self declared unfit mentally because one has to be EXTREMELY stupid to consider a chessboard (squares) with major links on both axis to be a MAZE. Especially in a time when we cna assume you ahve walls with instructions everywhere. Are in A3, need to go do D7? What the heck do you think a MAZE looks like?

@@ThomasTomiczek My uni is designed exactly like this, and even if the sections are numbered on big panels i can tell you it's a maze, even after being in the school for several months. You need time to accomodate to your regular pathways, so i can't imagine newcomers that only are here for few hours to few days. And, there is no need to highlight your rudeness with Caps. Also, with this design, if you want to go from a section to another, you have no direct and efficient pathways, you need to constantly make turns which is longer than a direct optimal line between the two points. At the end of the day, your hospital's capacity is less than what it could be, because you lose precious time in transfers.Totally agree with the critics here about that hospital being really dysfunctional.

@@cgmax9768 i agree with you. He clearly no idea what hospital in operation. He must be living in hospital for 5 years to understand what we know.

im sure they wouldnt put a dentist next to an emergency room. we already have 3-4 story hospitals, and they function waaay better than a highrise tower hospital cause the lift is used by everyone all the time. here its 2 stories only. i think its more functional like this, cause cars can enter close to each side of building, less queues inside. should they need more floors i, sure some section can go bit more vertical.

Well said true ...i am a doctor

I imagine it will also be possible for high speed horizontal lift systems, escalators, self driving emergency cars and carts.

@@muktarajibola4634 All those things you mentioned reduce efficiency, occupy more space reducing ergonomics and are not just costly to install but also to operate. I don't know if you've ever moved a disabled person before, but I doubt escalators are that friendly to someone on a stretcher. Your comment only validates my point. As a Nigerian, almost all our hospitals are built like this. Land is most times wasted and underutilized. My auntie had an accident and had to be hospitalized. We paid #40,000 just to move her from the Accident Unit to the female ward. They had to hire an ambulance and all that. That's a huge waste of resources! And when you think of it, all of that space could have been used to create a garden which is very important for physiotherapy and patient's general wellbeing. I know the stress involved in moving from one department to another, especially when you're not feeling well. In the West you see a compact 6 storey building housing everything. You just have to get in through the front door and every department is just a floor or room away. If any patient needs relocation, they put you in a stretcher, get in the elevator (most times there is a special elevator to move special-case patients) and viola! You're on another floor. Easy-peasy!

​@@AkitoTenkai Are you an idiot, no offense! Strategic placement? Did you just learn that yesterday and want to show off your new knowledge? Do you have any idea how diagnosis works? Have you ever been in a hospital? Doctors refer you to different departments and specialists based on new information gotten. Diagnosis is basically trial and error. Doctors cannot treat you until they know what is wrong with you and if one diagnosis comes out negative you have to try with a different specialist. If that specialist is on the extreme end of the building, what would you do then? If they just build up, that's another floor but in this case that 300 or 500 metres away! Tell me that's not stressful especially for someone who's sick! You have no idea what you're talking about

I had a dream about it, and ended up here bc of searching for something similar to my dream… it was so detailed and real I almost thought I must have been seeing something that exists already 😂 I know it’s crazy but it is what it is 😅 I’ve tried to draw the place…

Too bad, OMA come first 😂

Yeah every infrastructure project coming out of the Middle East seems to be more for show and looks then actual function. “Is Miami a mini Dubai? Dubai is a fake Miami!”

Do they really want their patients to recover vs treating them infinitely...

@@joshuamaka876 This is an arab project. Yes, they want them to recover.

cringe The patient is treated with medications and surgery. You are confusing treatment and recovery after treatment. For this, the hospital is not needed at all.

@@qutibplay1152 As someone who has spent weeks in hospitals and ICU let me tell you - not every culture is as indifferent to nice environments as yours obviously is. Many prefer hospitals not to looks like shitholes when it can be avoided. I personally loved the terrace and amazing 5 star service I had at a hospital in southern germany, overlooking a pretty large courtyard with an internal park and garden. So, cringe yourself. In some cases, you need more than medications and surgery. My father once spent a year and change in a hospital, tons of surgeries and 3 heart attacks during surgery. You think during a 15 month or so stay in a hospital you would prefer - well, you likely not. Seriously, you say cringe - I am disgusted by your ridiculous inhuman attitude.

@@qutibplay1152 i pity you , i understand Treatment and recovery well ! Wont explain How ! Just imagine this , stay in 10*10 room with no natural light or visible gardening + you are on a Hospital diet + Hospital by nature is an extremely negative space with Trauma,pain ,angry , grief etc -Imagine That. You have to have a good Mood and conducive environment even to respond to a treatment and that has to be Artificially created in Hospital bcz of its virtue , as explained Above ! Also lemme tell you, treatment is Just 10% , rest 90% is recovery! Radical eg , 12 hr surgery is done well , you are in hospital for next 30 days. count your own percentage !

High speed elevators , escalators

They should make it circular, with the staff areas in the middle…. I had a dream about that last night and ended up here looking for something that looks like my dream 😂 I know it’s crazy 😜 or a staff base in each area

@@rosemadder5547 That’s crazy I had a similar dream a couple of days ago and I was looking for concepts just like you 😅

@@rosemadder5547 did u wet urself after that?

​@@rosemadder5547👍🏼

Yeah but its not that necessarily. Its not like people are trying to save as much space in the desert as possible. Thats the only upside with building in the desert. Space isnt that much of a problem.

Because there will always be people like you who do nothing but criticize those who are at least trying to do something.

@@evanstayuka381 constructive criticism is to be appreciated by open minded beings

Because some areas are planning to be medical hotspots where people come to treatments. Also, you think proper nutrition and diet will fix many of the ailments? That would put you right into retard territory - plenty of genetic diseases, plenty of bacteria etc. Now, if you would have said medicine changes in some years - ok - but your argument, man, get SOME education.

But it’s possible and being made

@@Mohammad-cf2hd well well that should be fun

Corona virus and future virus will come

what about car acidents bruh

@@gbpferrao I’ll walk.

Build it by self.... Per day join people double the self.

Its not only about positive thinks. What we concern here, area to large, with no main traffic for quick acces

I'm sure their taking that into account

@@olayinka.o9213 im not sure enough. Im already to much visiting hospital. In my opinion, this is not effective. To much waste time and will confuse patients and visitors.

Yeah I hoped not
