Entry DescriptionThis is a 2,300-bed international medical complex, encompassing a pediatric center, a women's & children's hospital, and a tertiary general hospital. Inspired by the local Yellow River's geography and rich history, it's designed like natural "rivers" merging with the city. The hospitals, surrounding the "rivers," are independent yet share resources. The indoor traffic system based on the "river" concept integrates function and form, creating artistic corridors that blend art, sunlight, and nature.
