HUMAN CENTRED DESIGN

DISENO CENTRADO EN EL HUMANO
The Feasibility Study for Simon Bolivar Hospital aims to develop

a sustainable public institution which will have a strong local
impact in the urban context and at the same time contribute to a
global change.
From a human-centered perspective we design the new hospital
brick-by-brick. The vision of the project is to set the inhabitants,
patients, staff and visitors in focus, where the hospital molds the
platform for long- term sustainability, as an interconnected part
of the City of Bogota and as an integrated part of the whole
world.
The new Simon Bolivar Hospital will provide patients, visitors

and staff a welcoming environment and a free, open atmosphere
that exudes dignity and consideration. Healing architecture
has been the guiding star of the project. In accordance with
current research findings, significant design elements have
been included making it easy for people to find their way about,
enjoying plentiful daylight and accessing verdant terraces at all
levels.
The central courtyard is the green heart of the new hospital
structure, offering a calm, private and lush oasis accessible to all
patients, visitors and staff.

COMMUNITY CENTRED DESIGN

DISENO CENTRADO EN LA COMUNIDAD
The Simon Bolivar Hospital is one the major public hospitals of

Bogota and it is located in the northeastern area of the city on
the seventh race, one of the citys main roads.
The area is a fragmented mix of public and private structures
for uses such as recreation, culture, sport and education and
residential sector with small commercial areas. The area is
located just next to one of Bogotas largest favelas.
The project opens up the institution to the city context creating

a new public space in front of the hospital, the hospital square,
and locating several hospital functions accessible for the public.
This public and accessible square provides certain services and
public infrastructure, it is connected to public transport system
and contributes to improve the neighborhood and transform it
into a safer and more self-pride community.
As a large scale public building and a place of work and education,

the new Simon Bolivar Hospital has a unique possibility to create
a connecting public center for its neighborhood and at the same
time become one of Bogotas showcases for a more equitable,
accessible and safe city.
EXISTING HOSPITAL
EL HOSPITAL EXISTENTE
The site is well located at one of Bogotas major transfer roads,

and also easy accessible by the public bus service. One of the
major challenges of the plot is the very restricted accessibility.
The main hospital building is reached by only one internal road,
entering from the south and leading to all entrances on both the
ground floor and level -1. Another challenge is that the site offers
a high potential in densification due to building regulations but
has actually no possibilities for expansion.
To solve the accessibility issue, the project creates a new main
entrance level on level 1: here the hospital square connects the
hospital main entrance to the 165 th street. This entrance level
is the main pedestrian access for all patients, visitors and staff
coming by public transport and bike. This is also the most public
floor of the hospital, where main reception, chapel, cafeteria,
restaurant, library, auditoriums etc are located.
All car, ambulance and logistic traffic is accessing the site from
south on level 0.
Separating the pedestrian flows from the vehicular traffic gives a
possibility to create a public square free from parking areas (except
small drop off and pick up areas) and logistic& emergency traffic,
which ensures a higher urban quality of this space. Separating
traffic flows makes also the hospital accessibility safer and the
structure more rationally organized.
Regarding the issue of densification, the project shows the
possibility to build the very large program into the existing site, and
that the whole hospital can remain operational during realization.
The design has been focusing on shaping the big volume into
smaller parts so that the building feels less monumental and
closer to a human scale.

THE PROCESS
EL PROCESO
White arkitekter has since many years developed a method

called White Innovation Process (WIP), which is designed to
optimize commitment, in the fundamental decisions, by many
different people with many different competencies and skills.
On the first meeting series, one of the main topics has been the
comparison of the project Brief to Scandinavian standards. As
a result of the discussion, changes have been applied to the
project Brief to improve efficiency and healthcare processes.
This method has been adopted in the Simon Bolivar project

during a series of meetings and workshops with SBH and the
HS in Bogota and with specialists at white. The goal of these
meetings has been to bring the different decision-makers to
an agreement on a common vision and to anchor the design
process among SBH and the HS.
Also during the first trip to Colombia, a first dedicated

workshop has been organized. In this occasion, different
groups of representatives of SBH and HS have developed
schematic diagrams to illustrate internal connections between
the different units of the future hospital and its relation to
external accesses and flows. These schemes have been
crucial for the later development of the project.
During the second trip to Bogota, another workshop has

been arranged to present three different scenarios for the
future development of the hospital. The different scenarios
have been compared to each other, taking in consideration all
parameters but especially the feasibility (phasing), the future
extension possibility and the urban and architectural qualities.
Representatives of SBH and the HS have met a common
decision about the best scenario, which resulted into a
complete new building on the plot, divided in a higher and a
lower volume, embracing a green courtyard, and fronting the
urban context through a new square.
The Feasibility Study shows the possibility to bring the very large
program into a building volume that has very high architectural
and urban qualities. During the further development of the
project in the next project phase, optimizations of the plans
can be made by the local architect in collaboration with the
staff of SBH in order to create the best caring environment.
The flexible and general structure enables smaller or larger
adaptations of the project brief in the next project phase.

BRICK BY BRICK
LADRILLO SOBRE LADRILLO
In order for society to survive long term, we who live on earth

today have to take responsibility in developing community so
it can survive in the future.
Ecological sustainability is about the long term conservation

of the waters, the earth and ecosystem productivity and
to reduce impact on the environment and human health.
Development that meets todays needs without compromising

the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This
definition is the most famous definition of sustainability and
comes from the Brundtland Commission report, Our Common
Future, 1987.
Economic sustainability is about conserving human and

material resources in the long term.
Social sustainability is about building a long-term stable and
dynamic society where basic human needs are met.
Developing the hospital of Simon Bolivar we are adding a

brick for a greater urban sustainability. The project work with a
high awareness of how this hospital could have local impacts
and contribute to a global change.
Re-invention
Future proofing
Mobility
Sustainable development is a responsibility shared by political,

social and economic actors that requires decisive action in
every step of the process.
Wellbeing
Resources
From a people-centered perspective we design the hospital

brick-by-brick. The vision of the hospital is to set the inhabitants,
patients, staff and visitors in focus, where the hospital molds
the platform for sustainability, as an interconnected part of the
City of Bogot and as a part of the whole world.
Interaction
Working in line with this issues will also make it possible
to certify the building with the highest grades according to
sustianable certification schemes LEED or BREEAM.
We have identified six key issues, we call them bricks, which

summarizes the sustainability objectives of this hospital:
EXISTING HOSPITAL FACADE
NEW HOMES
RE-INVENTION
REINVENTAR
Building a sustainable society is done by acting together.

Using the demolished building products and materials from
the present hospital to establish a culture of re-use and reinvention. Working in line of the concept of Cradle of Cradle
- waste as a resource closing material loops. This building
block will increase empowerment, social welfare and economic
development by creating new work opportunities, engaging
people and establish a more efficient ecosystem of used
materials.
Unemployed people from the nearby area will be engaged

in a re-construction process.
Re-use markets will be created - materials and products from
the de-construction will be stored, packaged, reused,
reinvented and sold.
The existing brick faade can translate into many nr. of low
income family homes.
Reinvent the traditional use of brick as external cladding and
boundary material into new internal volumes for public
spaces.
By reinventing the role of the hospital and the area around it,
Simon bolivar Hospital can return to historical references from
Bogota The Hospital by the central square & the Hospital
near nature.
The design will seek to bridge the urban scale and the
human scale by allowing for megablocks to co-exist with
bricks dimensioned after the human hand.
Cultivated roof gardens on the hospital roof becomes an
area for food production, with possible interaction between
students in nearby schools and the people at the hospital.

MOVILIDAD
Mobility on all levels, from micro level to macro level, is an

important brick for sustainability. For economic and social
development and to improve environment, equity, quality of
life and competitiveness. A positive mobility rely on a cohesive
infrastructure that provide secure, reliable, efficient, equitable
and affordable access to all, while mitigating the negative
impacts on health and the environment locally and globally.
Separate flows for all logistic traffic to kitchen, storage,

mortuary etc.
24h public functions are positioned to create safe mobility
areas around the clock.
Bicycle parking, maintenance and servicing is provided at
the public square.
The new Hospital promotes and preserves the use and

safety of pedestrian and bicycle transportation, as an
alternative to private cars.
Future bicycle lanes can be connected as an integrated part

of the hospital.
Pedestrian and vehicular movement are separated vertically

for increased safety.
Electrical charging is provided in the parking basements

together with car pool for staff.
Safe pedestrian and close connections to public transport

by bus are a center piece of the design of the square.
The square is free from parking, except for few drop off
places. Almost all parking spaces are under the buildings.
Separated flows for emergency, ambulance and helicopter
traffic are planned, connected to the hospitals main
elevators.

INTERACTION
INTERACION
Designing for interaction between people is an important

brick for creating a sustainable hospital that takes
responsibility and plays an active part of the society.
Contacts and meeting with people is a basic human need.
Personal networks are needed for good health and a quality
of life and contacts with people outside the personal network
can establish bridges between different social groups and
improve the participation in the larger context. Society
consists of people with different backgrounds and social
affiliations, it is important that people become visible to each
other and meet in different levels of private-public places.
The design seeks to serve all levels of public-private from

calm and busy to playful and serious.
Multiple number of different green spaces, from courtyards to
sky gardens helps to distribute public space deeper and
higher into the building.
The verticality of the faade creates sightlines and
connectivity between the patients and the groundscape of the
city giving views towards green courtyard and revitalizing roof
gardens. This creates an openness and transparent spaces for
everyone to interact.
The hospital is integrated with the urban context and the

nearby community - improves the wellbeing and recovery
period of the patients.
Entrances are designed to be welcoming and inviting people

to sit, stay and pass in order to create opportunities for
positive interaction.
The pedestrian link bridging over and connecting the hospital

with the main street creates a public square open for both
the users of the hospital but also the people in the nearby
neighborhood and streets.
Childrens play is a fantastic arena for interaction and

happiness. Therefore we will place an intergenerational area
for outdoor activity and play.
With improved physical and visible connectivity, sightlines

through transparent facades, public areas within and outside
the hospital are interconnected, creating an atmosphere
which invites to social interaction and public engagement.

BIENESTAR
The wellbeing of the human beings has been in the focus when
designing the new hospital. The importance of attractive spaces
with high provision of daylight and quality views, greenery
and low noise levels as well as privacy is well documented to
contribute to less pain and stress, faster recovery and better
work environment.. Many of the basal functions of the human
body are dependent on the exposure of daylight. Therefore it is
even more important to design a hospital with access to high
quality daylight and views, especially in spaces where patients
are confined to bed.
Patients have views from their beds out over flowerbeds and
treetops.
An important aspect of designing well functioning green

spaces is to understand the microclimate of the outdoor places
by studying wind, solar, rain and acoustics and by architectural
and landscape design enhance or reduce specific aspects.
The organisation of inpatient wards in smaller teams brings the

staff closer to the patient, which makes the contact between
staff and patient safer and more personal.
Each green space has been formed based on the microclimate

conditions of site/place and designed in order to provide the
most suitable and preferable ecosystemservices needed on
that place.
Trees are strategically placed where they have conditions
to grow naturally for many years, where they give shadow on
popular spaces and where they contribute to quality views.
The whole hospital structure embraces a central green
courtyard that is the hearth of the hospital and is accessible
from all patients, visitors and staff a variety of green roofs
which both are beautiful to look over and invite to social
interactions in a green environment over the rooftops.
The windows size and orientation is planned to optimise daylight

and views, and at the same time achieve a good indoor climate
and sun shading.
The general solution with 2-beds room creates a condition for
better privacy, better sleep and more effective recovery. It also
reduces risk for infections.
Dedicated areas for staff at almost all floor supports a better and
calmer work environment for hospital staff.
Materials, both in the exteriors and the interiors of the building,
are environmental friendly and have a strong connection to local
traditions and values.
The hospital has a very clear building structure and few simple
vertical communications points. A simple orientation through
the building is an important aspect of a pleasant and safe stay
at the hospital.

RESOURCES
RECURSOS
The new hospital building will be a lighthouse project in Bogota

for resource efficiency in buildings. We will take the concept of
resource efficiency to the next level and take aim for a building
who does not only operate at an efficient level but also radiates
an aura of sustainability. How we use the planets resources
during the buildings entire life is vital in our resource concept.
We will focus on both the energy we use when constructing
the building as well as the energy used during its operation.
The design focus on three different type of systems: Passive,
Natural and Active.
Reduce the need for cooling by adding passive solar shading

system.
An efficient building skin designed to meet the demands of the
local climate.
Utilize short term storage of waste heat. The energy will then be
extracted when needed for heating of building and hot tap water.
Produce solar energy. By conducting solar energy studies the
optimal placement of photovoltaics will be found to supply the
building with as much renewable energy as possible.
Collect rain water. By using the green roofs to delay the water
and at the same time collect the runoff water we take care of
a valuable resource at the same time as we take care of our
surroundings by limiting the possibility of flooding.
Collected rainwater can be used for irrigation and as an
aesthetic component in the outdoor environment.
The climate conditions of the roofs varies with heights.
Plants are therefore selected based on these different conditions
for creating resilient ecosystems. This creates living green roofs
for a very long time.
Optimize material use, cradle to cradle:

- Regional materials are preferred; bricks and steel for minimizing
transportation and environmental impact.
-Reusable materials; chosing new materials that is possible
to use.
Colourful flowers and plants with much nectar as herbs and

legumes are planted in clumps to attract butterflies.
The upcoming climate change makes great demand on nature
as buffering system. Permeable groundcover may delay
rain water and vegetation in slopes hold soil during extreme
rainfalls.
-Reused materials; reusing bricks from old hospital.

Increase access to daylight with smart solar shading design.

FUTURE PROOFING
ASEGURAR EL FUTURO
The capacity of an environment to cope with change is a key

for long-term sustainability. The new hospital will be designed
with a flexible, general and robust structure.
The possibilities to adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more
desirable configurations will prepare the hospital for future
change impacts. The key focus for resilience efforts is to
address that buildings, communities, states, and countries
currently have to regard the environmental, economic and
social consequences of climate change.
The new hospital is designed to be built with the least amount
of disruption of the old hospitals still being in operation.
Structural and core design can cater for a 15% expansion
vertically on the low L-wing.
The building structure is planned to allow a very large flexibility
of uses in the future.
Floor heights of 4.5m allows for a rotation and interchange of
functions between different levels as well as structural transfer
beams to accommodate a more flexible hospital planning.
Double corridor systems caters for both integrated and subdivided wards.
By separating technical areas in 3 zones: basement, level 5
and roof level, there is flexibility to improve installations when
technology changes or level of demands are raised in eg.
Operating theaters.
Proportion of patient rooms can adapt over time to both
single and double bed, and follow the rapid development in
international standards.
All units are planned with general solutions that make
changes within the clinics easy.
The building are designed in order to sustain earth quakes,
flooding and landslides.
Redundant and resilient technical installations and energy
supply for all-time operation
The building should be possible to easily demolish and reuse
by choosing adapted construction methods and reusable
materials.
A repetitive vertical window setting allow for internal wall to

connect along the whole length of the faade.

Optimized Shell / By using energy simulations the performance of the outer shell
is tailored for the climate in Bogota and planned use of the building.
Healing Daylight / Daylight is vital to the healing process of patients and the
working environment of staff. The shape of the building permits good access to
daylight in regularly occupied areas.
Outer Skin / The solar shading system is a skin that covers the entire building with
openings for the windows. The building is exposed to less solar radiation and thus
decreases the energy needed for cooling.
Large Window Area / Utilizing the efficient building skin and performance of the
outer shell, large window areas are made possible. This improves the access to
quality daylight.
Adaptable / Even though the solar shading system is a passive system the opening
vains are mounted in a specific angle depending on the orientation of the facade.
Thermal Mass / The thermal mass in the building core plays a vital role in keeping
the temperature variations minimal. Concrete and other heavy building materials
will be exposed where possible.
Building Shape / The simple geometry of the outer shell provides optimal conditions
for minimized energy leakage and in combination with the air tight outher skin.
CONCEPT OF PASSIVE SYSTEMS
Shape of Windows / The horizontal shape of the windows is optimal for better
daylight. The hight of windows is the most important factor when omptimizing
daylight gain.
SOLAR SHADING / ILLUSTRATION
DAYLIGHT ANALYSIS / PATIENT ROOM - ALL DIRECTIONS
The use of passive systems are one of the core issues of designing a sustainable
and energy efficient building. Passive systems mean that the building by its design
becomes energy efficient. Passive systems might sound like a new invention but
in reality they have been around for as long as buildings have existed.
Robust / A passive system is a robust system. Moving shading devices are in need
of constant maintenance. Our system will work from day one and continue to do
so during the buildings entire life.

Today buildings, and especially hospitals, are complicated and therefore it is easy
to think that the best course of actions is to always use the most high-tech and
sophisticated system available. On the contrary using passive systems are by all
means more efficient.

Re-Use / To minimize the ecological footprint the most important is to use as little
new resources as possible. Bricks and building components from the old hospital
can be used as internal volumes for public spaces.
Recycle / Use materials with recycled content to increase the demand for building
products that incorporate recycled content.
Reduce / Bricks, building materials that can not be re-used in the building is
collected and sold to people in the area for usage in other building projects.
Ecosystem services / Up to 47 percent of surface pollutants can be removed in

the first 15 minutes of a storm event, including pesticides, fertilizers and organical
compounds. LID-technologies mitigates pollution and costs 40 percent less than
typical pipe-and-pond civil engineering solutions.
Aesthetic values / Solutions for stormwater management are used for creating
recreational and aestethic values.
Climate Adaptation / The upcoming climate change makes great demand on
nature as buffering system. Permeable groundcover may delay rain water and
vegetation in slopes hold soil during extreme rainfalls.
More than enhancing ecological linkages, we must biologically integrate the

inorganic aspects and processes of our built environment with the landscape
so that they mutually become eco-systemic. This is the creation of human-made
ecosystems compatible with the ecosystems in nature. Closeness to nature is
healing in many ways but it is also important for temperature and humidity
regulation inside and around the hospital and for buffering against heavy storms.
Not at least are the green roofs and the green yard strengthening the biodiversity
in the whole area.
Ecologically built structures will create small and less stressful environmental
footprints, which in turn will promote ecological connectivity with rehabilitated
vegetative networks, which in turn will enhance the quality of life of human and
wildlife occupants.

a separation between nature and human activities. This was not the case in
premodern times, when human settlements either integrated or co-existed
peacefully with the nature. Materials were collected locally and buildings were
designed and constructed according to the natural conditions of the site. The
architecture has utilized ecological science to design the building in harmony with
the ecosystems of Bogot.

Building systems
Renewable Energy / A large part of a buildings environmental impact comes

from the energy it uses during its life. Our goal is to supply as much renewable
energy produced on site as possible.
Hybrid Ventilation / Even in a hospital there are areas which will be suitable for
natural ventilation. This is a favorable approach to minimize the energy cost of
ventilating a building.
Central Systems / Central systems will be used for both heating and
cooling where the primary source is a combined heat pump and cooling
machine.
Optimal Location / Bogota is located close to the equator and has an almost
constant supply of solar energy. This makes getting the most out of a solar energy system easy.
Night Cooling / Areas not occupied during the night will be ventilated and cooled.
The exposed thermal mass of the building will absorb heat during the day which
it will then release during the night.
Energy Storage / The waste heat from the cooling machine will be stored
in short term energy storages within the building. This energy will then be
used during the night for both hot tap water and for heating. This is made
possible by the very constant climate.
Electricity or Hot Water / Only photovoltaics which produce electricity will be

used. The heating energy needed will be gathered from the waste heat in the
cooling production.
Energy Recovery / All air leaving the building through mechanical ventilation will
have energy recovery systems to minimize energy demand for both heating and
cooling.

Even though the basis of our design is to use passive systems, there will be
active systems in our building. This is a hospital and in many rooms there will be
high demands on indoor climate and in clean rooms and operating theatres the
demands will be extremely stringent and precise.

The main energy use in the building will be the need for cooling. When producing chilled water there will be a lot of excess heat. This energy is usually wasted
but we aim to reuse this energy by storing it in large water tanks and using it for
heating hot tap water.

We will harvest the solar energy which, due to Bogotas location close to the
equator, has an almost constant energy output. The renewable energy produced
on site will be the primary source of energy for the basic building functions and
energy losses will be minimized through efficient energy recovery and short term
energy storage .

To stay true to the concept of a building with a minimal carbon footprint our
active systems must be designed with efficiency in mind. Not only will we reduce
the carbon footprint but it will also make the building more economically sustainable.
Energy Priority / All energy can not be provided by production on site.

During times a large part will have to be supplied from the city grid. To not
waste energy on site energy will always have priority.
