Abstract
The resolution of the different traffic patterns
in a hospital, coupled with the varied requirements
of the uncomfortable human beings who are patients in
a hospital are enough problems to task the imagination
of an architect. Add to this are the rapid changing
medical technology which render most hospitals obsolete
even before they become functional and the problem of
hospital design becomes an enormous one indeed.
The goal of this thesis is therefore, to create
an ever-lasting hospital that will satisfy medical
and spatial requirements which are subject to
continual change as technology changes. This call
for the application of an architectural principle of
FLEXIBILITY - INTERNAL FLEXIBILITY AND EXTERNAL
EXTENDABILITY. The resultant design of this expendable
Specialist Teaching Hospital is expected to be highly
EFFICIENT in function, and AESTHETIC in appeal as
beauty is recognized to have a therapeutic value
